From Extreme Depression to Street Preacher: How God Saved His Life with Bryce Crawford

About this episode

Bryce Crawford shares his journey from extreme depression to becoming a prominent young evangelist, discussing the transformative moments in his life and his mission to reach others with the message of hope in Christ.

How does a suicidal 17-year-old battling anxiety, depression, and doubts about God's existence, become the founder of his own ministry and one of today's most influential young evangelists five years later? Since 2024, Bryce Crawford has already reached 2 billion people through digital media and is filling venues around the country at just 22-years old. But Bryce isn't interested in building a platform for himself. Instead, he's using his influence to reach a generation searching for truth, purpose, and hope in Christ—even when it means stepping into environments where rejection, ridicule, and hostility are almost guaranteed. Together, Frank and Bryce answer questions like: What life-changing moment happened when Bryce was in eighth grade and sent him into a deep spiral of depression? What was the desperate prayer that completely changed his life at age 17? How did Bryce become such a positive influence and effective communicator for the Gospel in only five years? Why does Bryce intentionally go to places where Christianity is often unwelcome and what keeps him going when he faces rejection and hostility? How can older generations be more effective when it comes to reaching Gen Z…
