Get Quiet with Jesse Wilder-CMAW053

What You'll Hear: Jesse became a Christian at the age of eleven.  His father struggled with alcoholism and his mother struggled with depression. His Dad was in and out of jail and his Dad wouldn't let Jesse and his sister talk to each other Jesse was in his room while his parents were arguing and he heard a voice in his head that he had spiritual gifts and he just needed to stick to life and to read the Bible Once he got to high school he started going to church and learned that he was accepted by God as he was His parents divorced when Jesse was in college. Jesse still talks to them. He has prayed a lot for them lately and is learning how to sow seeds one day at a time When Jesse moved to Nashville to go to Belmont, he met a number of people that had an influence on him Jesse planned to move to Tampa, but God had another plan He prayed for a physical sign and God gave him one Jesse wants his past to help him mentor others He views faith like a bowling alley. Open gutters is like a life lacking faith.  Bumpers is like a walk of faith. Be steadfast in prayer and be specific about what you pray Jesse works with artists to help them get to the next level in their careers While in college he was on the pre-med track.  He was doing well but wasn't happy. He transferred to Belmont and started writing articles interviewing artists and realized that music was the pathway for what God wanted him to do Jesse interviewed Jason Davis for a podcast interview and he spent 3-1/2 hours with him, mostly talking about God Jesse became the tour manager for Austin French and then became involved in artist licensing We're all given spiritual gifts.  Living out his faith is to serve. Jesse writes out what he needs to accomplish in a day, he lives in the present and takes it day by day In the secular festival realm, it can be a big party and there's a temptation to go along with that. Always be up front and truthful with what your intentions are You can take little steps at work to make a difference Favorite scripture is Psalms 23:1-4 If we're not planting seeds with young people, there won't be anything to sprout Rather than listening to something, Jesse gets quiet and meditates [email protected] and on Facebook and Instagram
