JULISSA AND JESSE   HAVE ALWAYS  HAD A HUGE PASSION FOR MUSIC. JESSE'S BAND, AWAKING THE FALLEN SIGNED WITH DIRTBAG MUSIC GROUP, ACHIEVING  ROCKSTAR STATUS, PLAYING WITH BANDS LIKE NONPOINT, MUDVAYNE, HEAD P.E., +++.  JULISSA WAS A CLASSICALLY TRAINED OPERA SINGER THAT AUDITIONED FOR AMERICAN IDOL AND MADE IT TO THE FINALS. SHE LATER SIGNED WITH AN INDIE RECORD LABEL AND NABBED TWO TOP 10 BILLBOARD DANCE HITS. IT WAS EVERYTHING THEY HAD DREAMED  IT TO BE ... UNTIL IT WASN'T.

BOTH JESSE AND JULISSA EXPERIENCED PROFOUNDLY DARK, SPIRITUALLY OPPRESSIVE, AND TERRIFYINGLY REAL EVENTS... "I FELT THE POWER OF EVIL [JESSE SAYS]. EVERYTHING I WANTED WAS HAPPENING, BUT IT DIDN'T FEEL RIGHT. SOMETHING WAS OFF AND I COULD TELL IT WASN'T GOOD FOR ME." JULISSA EXPERIENCED TERRIFYING DREAMS AND SLEEP PARALYSIS WHILE DIVING INTO THE OCCULT, FEELING OVERWHELMING FEAR WITH NO WAY TO ESCAPE. WITH ACHIEVING  ROCKSTAR STATUS.

JULISSA EXPERIENCED TERRIFYING DREAMS AND SLEEP PARALYSIS WHILE DIVING INTO THE OCCULT, FEELING OVERWHELMING FEAR WITH NO WAY TO ESCAPE. "IT WAS TERRIFYING. I HEARD A MALE VOICE WHISPER IN MY EAR AS I WAS AWAKE, BUT I COULDN'T MOVE. HE SAID NOT TO DARE MOVE A MUSCLE. THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO BUT SCREAM THE ONLY NAME I KNEW, JESUS." WITH MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS, AND WITH THEIR FAIR SHARE OF OTHERWORLDLY EXPERIENCES, THEY DECIDED TO HEAD BACK HOME TO START A NEW CHAPTER IN LIFE, WITHOUT UFO'S AND WITHOUT THE OCCULT... THEN A PIVOTAL MOMENT HAPPENED: JESSE'S AUNT SHARED THE GOSPEL AT THEIR KITCHEN TABLE. [JULISSA] "I'D NEVER HEARD IT BEFORE. I KNEW OF JESUS, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HIM. IT JUST BLEW MY MIND."

[JESSE] " IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAD EVER HEARD THERE'S A WIDE CHASM BETWEEN US AND GOD, AND THERE'S NO WAY YOU CAN CROSS THAT BRIDGE UNLESS YOU BUILD A RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST." NOW, JNDJ ARE CREATING MUSIC THAT REFLECTS THEIR JOURNEY OF REDEMPTION, WHERE THEY DISCOVERED THAT PEACE ISN'T  POSSIBLE CHASING FLEETING FAME AND MATERIAL SUCCESS, BUT IN A DEEP AND ABIDING RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.  JESUS IS THE FOUNDATION

OF THEIR LIVES AND THEIR MUSIC.
THEY STRIVE TO MAKE MUSIC THAT MEETS LISTENERS WHEREVER THEY ARE -- IN THE DARK, IN ANXIETY, IN DEPRESSION,
IN HOPELESSNESS AND CONFUSION --
TO SHINE THE LIGHT OF HOPE, REDEMPTION, AND THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF
GOD'S LOVE.
