Ben Jero: From a Tennis Racket to the Worship Platform

When Ben Jero was just five years old, he didn't dream of being a worship leader. Instead, he spent his days strumming a tennis racket, pretending he was playing music for the masses.

For years, that passion stayed strictly "make-believe." In fact, Ben grew up so incredibly shy that he wouldn't even sing in front of his own family. But God has a powerful way of taking our childhood "practice" and turning it into a profound platform for ministry.

In this special Artist Takeover episode, Ben steps up to the microphone to share his inspiring faith and musical journey. Tune in to hear the heartfelt story of how he finally traded that toy racket for a real guitar, overcame his deep-seated shyness, and embraced a lifelong mission to lead others straight to the heart of God.

Today, Ben uses that passion to serve as a worship leader at Sandals Church in Southern California, crafting music that brings people closer to their faith.
