Jarod's Journey with Christ

At 15, I experienced a life-threatening medical crisis after ingesting 1800mg of Valium. I was rushed to emergency and placed under heavy sedation for three days. When I awoke, my life had fundamentally shifted.

During that time, I experienced a recurring vision: a setting sun followed by an overwhelming, radiant light brighter than anything I had ever seen. That experience left a lasting imprint on me. I now understand it as a profound spiritual turning point and a sign that my life would be spared for a greater purpose.

On November 15th, 2025, at sunrise around 5:30am, I experienced what I describe as being born again. In that moment, I felt spiritually renewed, washed clean of my past, and saved by Jesus Christ.

Since then, my faith has become central to my identity, creativity, and sense of direction. Today, my work is not only an artistic pursuit but a reflection of gratitude: for survival, for vision, and for the opportunity to witness and capture the beauty of creation.
