Cue 01

Jesse Bradley was living his childhood dream — a pro soccer career after Dartmouth — when a malaria drug taken as prescribed turned toxic and cost him a decade of his life. What that decade exposed was an identity built entirely on performance.

Keith Koo sits down with Jesse — senior pastor at Grace Community Church in Seattle, chaplain to the Seattle Sounders and the U.S. U-20 national team — for a conversation about:
Why performance-based identity is "a cruel trap" — and especially easy to fall into in the Bay Area
The shift from performance to grace, and the security that comes with it
"The power of the second thought" — a practical habit for the days the negative voice won't quit
The World Cup as mission field: 21M+ people reached this tournament through Victory Beyond the Cup
Why the youngest generation wants backbone and authenticity, not a play-it-safe faith

The question to sit with: what are you building your identity on — and could you lose it?
