Are you searching for hope after loss, juggling your calling with real-life pain, or wondering if faith can bring real redemption—even after heartbreak and defeat? Jason’s story might be JUST what you need. This is more than a rockstar memoir—it's a raw, relatable masterclass in finding resilience, rediscovering your identity, and letting God use your brokenness for something epic.

What You'll Experience in This Episode:

  • The true origin story of Paramore—from mowing Hayley Williams’ lawn to joining the band overnight
  • Why Jason walked away from stardom at Paramore’s peak and the gut-wrenching family crisis that called him home
  • Losing $160,000 in gear in the Nashville flood—and how hitting rock bottom forced a total life's reset
  • How God showed up in Jason’s deepest pain, including the tragic loss of his mother, and rebuilt his life step by step
  • Finding new identity: from sidelined musician to working actor on TV’s “Nashville” and “9-1-1”
  • Lessons on masculinity: why being a “stand up dude” means vulnerability, bringing your mess to God, and loving your family fiercely—even when you feel empty
  • Candid talk about addiction, mental health, and picking up the pieces when you’re “supposed” to have it all
  • Powerful encouragement for Christian men: how to fight passivity, stop letting the past define you, and make every minute count
  • How Jason discovered true purpose in worship, family, and serving others—PLUS: a first peek at new music and projects


This Episode Is For You If:

  • You feel like life has sucker-punched you and you’re not sure where to turn
  • You’ve had success—and suffered setbacks—that make you question your calling
  • You want to know how God can redeem your story, no matter how broken you feel
  • You’re looking for practical, honest hope to lead your family and community with authenticity and integrity
  • You long for a brotherhood of men who stand together, pray together, and rise above the noise
