Listening First
We earn the right to speak by asking real questions and hearing people out.
About WDYB
Real Conversations. Honest Hope.
The WDYB Project (“What Do You Believe?”) exists to help students encounter Jesus through thoughtful, respectful conversations—listening first, asking better questions, and sharing the gospel with clarity and compassion.
About
Jaiden Forrest
I’m Jaiden Forrest — a follower of Jesus who didn’t always believe. Before I came to Christ, I chased success, pleasure, and self-improvement, but none of it satisfied. When I finally saw that I couldn’t fix or save myself, I turned to Jesus — and found forgiveness, peace, purpose, and life.
I began on YouTube creating commentary videos, but over time sensed God calling me to something more personal: not just reacting to culture, but stepping into real, face-to-face conversations about life and faith.
I’m now married to my best friend, Jasmina. She’s been an incredible source of encouragement and support as I step into this ministry, and I’m deeply grateful for her partnership in life.
The Project
What Is the WDYB Project?
Out of Jaiden’s journey came one simple question: What do you believe? We take that question to campuses and public spaces, inviting honest dialogue about faith and eternity and pointing people to the hope found in Jesus Christ.

What Makes WDYB Different
Clarity with Compassion
We share the gospel plainly and kindly—no gotchas, no debates for sport.
Respectful, No-Ambush Policy
Conversations are voluntary and filmed with care. We aim for dignity, not virality.
Next Steps Matter
Prayer, Scripture (often the Gospel of John), and local church connections whenever possible.
How We Live This Out
Our Approach
1) Ask & Listen
Start with “What do you believe?” and let people finish their thoughts.
2) Clarify
Reflect back what we heard. This builds trust and surfaces real questions.
3) Share Christ
Explain sin, repentance, and the good news of Jesus with gentleness and respect.
4) Invite
Offer prayer and a simple call to respond—never pressured, always free.
5) Equip
Give Scripture and resources (often John’s Gospel) for their next steps.
6) Connect
Encourage community and local church follow-up where possible.
From the Field
See It In Action
A respectful, honest dialogue on campus—listening carefully, sharing the gospel clearly, and pointing to Jesus with grace and truth.
FAQ
Questions We Often Get
Why film the conversations?
To model gracious, truthful dialogue and encourage others to have these talks. We strive to protect dignity and avoid sensationalism.
Do people know they’re being filmed?
Yes—conversations are voluntary, and we aim for respectful, permission-first interactions. When in doubt, identities are not shown.
Is this confrontational or “gotcha” content?
No. We’re after clarity with compassion—listening first, speaking truth in love, and avoiding ambush tactics.
How can I get involved?
Pray, share a video with a friend, wear the question (shirts spark conversations), or give to support campus outreach and production.
