Bryce Crawford: Young People Are Done with Nonsense and Eager for Jesus

A 22-year-old podcaster is gaining traction for his strong beliefs and street evangelism, claiming that many young people are turning to Jesus because they are tired of “bullshit” and actively seeking truth.

Bryce Crawford, based in California, is an evangelist who gained a loyal following through his street outreach and engaging discussions about faith. He leads the Jesus in the Streets ministry and is currently touring over 20 cities, with most events sold out.

His growing influence aligns with another youth-centric ministry called UniteUs, which has been attracting crowds at colleges around the nation.

“We’re exhausted by the inauthenticity, by the fluff,” Crawford shared during an interview with Fox News. “We’re overwhelmed by superficiality, whether it comes from our phones or from our desires, thinking these things will make us whole. Chasing love, filling that void—it’s not working for many people, and I think they’re finally realizing that.”

“Ultimately, it’s not just about wanting the truth. It’s about needing it.”

Crawford had his own journey of discovery. He recounts a transformative experience with Jesus that shifted his life trajectory toward ministry.

“I grew up in a Christian household in the South, surrounded by the church, yet I struggled with depression and anxiety beginning in middle school. It was overwhelming for years, and at one point, I even contemplated a drastic action to escape the pain. But that night, in a desperate moment, I reached out to Jesus, asking Him to alleviate my anxiety and depression. From that moment, I felt different. Over five years have passed since then, but it was the start of my commitment to Jesus.”

“Since then, I felt compelled to meet people where they were because God first reached out to me.”
