Braden grew up in Kansas playing competitive basketball, doing semi-professional singing, and making content with famous social media influencers. During his freshman year of college, he had a big conversion as he discovered that the fulfillment he longed for could only be found in Christ. His passion is now to help others discover the abundant life that Jesus offers. He lived out this passion working in college campus ministry at Wichita State University, and now through speaking at conferences, schools, and retreats all around the country.
