Nineteen-year-old Brandon did not grow up around faith. In his home the name of Jesus was never spoken, and rugby became his identity, his purpose and the thing that bonded him with his dad. From a young age he chased the dream of professional sport, eventually joining the Harlequins Academy and building his life around performance, pressure and the culture that surrounded it.

Everything changed when he was unexpectedly released from the academy. The loss shook him deeply. His confidence fell apart and, while trying to cope, he became distracted by a relationship that left him even more empty. During this season he began searching for something real, something that could fill the growing sense that life had more meaning than he was experiencing.

Throughout his journey, God kept breaking into his life. He protected him in moments where he should have been seriously injured. He stirred questions in him when fear overwhelmed him. He placed Christians around him whose lives looked different and who gently invited him into conversations about faith. A school Bible study opened the door to understanding Scripture in a new way, and later an old friend reached out out of the blue and invited him to church. These moments led to powerful encounters with the presence and peace of Jesus that Brandon could not ignore.

Bit by bit, his life began to change. He rebuilt after heartbreak, started to walk in freedom from old habits, launched a business, chose baptism and discovered a level of joy and clarity he had never known before.

Today, Brandon is passionate about helping other young men find the hope and transformation he has found in Jesus. His story is a reminder that God is often pursuing us long before we recognise it, and that even in our most confusing seasons, He is already at work.

Stay to the end as Brandon prays for anyone searching for purpose, struggling internally or longing for something genuine and life changing.
