Ministry Updates

Brandt’s journey towards ministry began during high school, where he discovered the transformative power of a personal relationship with God through the guidance of church mentors and leaders in Cru.

This experience ignited a passion within him to serve others and share his faith. In 2013, he responded to God’s call by relocating from Tennessee to California to join the High School Ministry of Cru. Since then, Brandt has been actively involved in evangelizing and mentoring students across LA/OC high schools.

In 2014, Jessica was drawn to a similar calling while working as a crisis specialist with at-risk youth in the public school system. Feeling compelled to share the message of Christ with teenagers, she began volunteering alongside Brandt. Soon after, she decided to step away from her stable career path and licensure in Social Work, and commit to full-time ministry.

Today, as a family of five, the Carsons are dedicated to continuing their impactful work with Parable. Empowered by the Holy Spirit, their mission is to join students in the middle of their story, bring healing to their past, and offer redemption for their future. They desire to help students recognize that God has intricately crafted their stories on Earth and in Heaven. Join us in embracing this transformative journey.
