Jesse Bradley | From Hopeless to a Beacon of Hope
Season 1 Episode 30
What if the very thing that tried to break you… actually built you?
In today’s episode of Magnify Your Message, I sit down with the remarkable Jesse Bradley—former professional soccer player, pastor, speaker, and Co-Founder of Just Choose Hope. Jesse has shared his powerful message on Good Morning America, The Tamron Hall Show, Fox & Friends, and now, he’s here with us—and you do not want to miss this.
Jesse's life took a harrowing turn when a life-threatening illness cut short his athletic career and sent him spiraling into years of physical and emotional pain. But what emerged from the ashes wasn’t just recovery—it was a powerful story of radical hope that has now had over a billion views worldwide.
✨ Here's what we dive into—prepare to have your perspective flipped:
- Why "positive thinking" isn't enough – and the real reason most people stay stuck in hopelessness (it's not what you think).
- Hope isn’t a feeling—it’s a habit. Learn the counterintuitive daily practices Jesse used to rewire his brain and rebuild his life.
- The 3 “Hope Thieves” stealing your peace right now—and how to shut them down before they rob you blind.
- Why your pain is your passport to purpose. (Hint: Look no further than your greatest mess.)
- How vulnerability becomes your superpower. Jesse shares why telling your story is the most generous thing you can do—and how it can heal not just you, but everyone who hears it.
This isn’t just another inspirational story—it’s a roadmap. Jesse is walking proof that no matter what you’ve been through, hope is always within reach.
