Jake Hamilton has been in full-time active ministry for over two decades. He has been a church planter in Southern California, a creative entrepreneur since he started his first business painting murals at the age of 15, as well as a worship leader on a local level and globally as a part of Jesus Culture Music for several years. His radical style of music has been described by Relevant Magazine as “a cross between Led Zeppelin and the Foo Fighters.” He is also a dynamic preacher and communicator speaking in schools and stadiums across the globe, he has been an evangelist both on the streets and in global church movements, spent time as a local youth pastor in a thriving creative community, launched a 24-hour a house of prayer in his home city of Rancho Cucamonga, CA, and has been a songwriter whose songs have been sung and recorded around the world. He and his wife, Nicci, have also fueled a movement called OneFlesh, which has focused specifically on marriages and family—proclaiming the coming reformation in the Church and seeing hundreds of marriages restored and redeemed even years after divorce. He is currently heading a men’s movement called THE FIGHT, gathering men to make agreement with their story and get acquainted with death as they learn what it means to walk in biblical manhood as modeled by Jesus Christ. As an artist he desires to push the limits of creativity, and as a father and a husband he is committed to his family first. But above any of his endorsements and accomplishments, he is a lover of Jesus Christ with the ability to lead others into the same encounter that transformed his life over 25 years ago. He has always said his goal was simple, “I want to spend my life throwing keys into prison cells.”
