Jeff Myers, the founder and president of Godbeat Media has one deeply personal reason for why Godbeat.com came to be. This reason, born out of sin and ruined lives is the heartbeat for everything Godbeat.com is about today and the “why” behind its very existence.
You see, Jeff didn’t always run Christian websites or find ways to put the Gospel in any form into the hands of thousands of people each month. Jeff was not concerned with helping others develop their dreams and talents, quite the opposite actually. While Jeff’s web properties invaded hundreds of thousands of homes, via the internet every month, Jeff was not sharing Jesus. You see, Jeff was one of the top ten producers of online pornography in the Country, producing 2.8 million registered images and producing thousands of hours of adult video. Jeff was not helping artist or anyone develop their dreams, he was shattering them by exposing them to everything Satan had to offer. The lure of extreme wealth and lifestyle took over Jeff’s life, leaving a path of destruction that touched millions of lives over the 7 years he was in the adult industry.
If it had not been for an arrest on drug changes on April 13th 2006, Jeff may still have been in that destructive line of work. Acting on a tip from a young lady who worked for Jeff, Jeff’s home was raided on suspicion of drug trafficking and an arrest on drug charges was made. Based on that arrest, a change began in Jeff’s life, a change that sent Jeff back to his roots. You see, Jeff was not always a pornographer with a terrible drug addiction, Jeff had grown up in the church knowing everything there is to know about God, with one exception; what it was like to have a personal relationship with Jesus. On July 18th, 2006, during what was an 8 month trial on his drug charges, Jeff found his way to a Christian Campground he attended during his youth and during a very special service, found that Jesus had been there all along and had always loved him despite the terrible path his life had taken.
In December 7th of that year, Jeff was convicted on drug charges and sentenced to a year in prison. During that time the groundwork for what would become Godbeat Media began to take place. Jeff’s only God given motivation was to replace the garbage he was putting into millions of homes a year, with God message, through music or any means necessary. Using what he had learned in the adult industry about internet marketing and production, the concept of Godbeat.com and the strategy to take it’s message to the masses was born. With his relocation to Nashville, TN., music seemed the logical choice as a vehicle to spread the good Word. Godbeat.com’s mission is simple; Spread the Gospel to every home, replacing the garbage Jeff once produced with Gods simple message of love and forgiveness regardless of ones past.
Music and video are a powerful media that can touch lives in a way very few other media’s can. It is our desire that you will see God here and that He will touch you and draw you closer to Him. Our sincere prayer is that you will see a God that loves you no matter what you have done, where you have been or how awful you think you are. Let Jeff’s story encourage you. God can take your mess and turn it into something He can use if you just let Him. A former drug addicted pornographer, now, spreading Gods great love through a medium he once used to spread Satan’s lies. Just imagine what God can do in your life.
God is in the life changing business and Godbeat.com is a living testament to that amazing fact.
