Jared found himself struggling in high school, being bullied and picked on by the other kids. As Jared began losing touch with God, a friend invited him to youth group where he learned about the good and prosperous plans God has for his life. Although he now had a relationship with God, Jared’s friends didn’t understand his beliefs, which caused him to feel lost again. God turned his life around yet again when he felt God telling him he should take up swimming, where he had the most fun he’s ever had and met great friends.
