Speakers 2026

We live in a time when no common definition or vision for manhood exists. BetterMan is that common vision. We believe generations of men want to be good men; they want to be God's man, but they do not know how. No one has shown them—no one has given them an example. BetterMan is filling that void.

Jesse Labelle

Worship Leader

Jesse Labelle is a singer songwriter with a story unlike anything you’ve ever heard.

Around his neck, he wears the remains of a single bullet that could’ve taken his life, forged into the cross that saved it. From escaping a burning car crash in 2018, to standing in the center of a tornado that tore through Nashville in 2020, to a battle with cancer and ultimately a brush with death in a 2021 drive by shooting, Jesse is living proof of a true redemption story. As shocking and incredible as it is inspiring and real, Jesse’s story is one of unbelievable survival and salvation that leads to faith.

At the center of it all, Jesse has always been a singer and a songwriter chasing the truth through music. These days, that truth is clearer than a musical journey spanning across countries, from festivals to arenas, Jesse has shared stages opening tours for his musical heroes from Garth Brooks to Sir Elton John, bending and blending genres along the way.

With a heart for service, when Jesse is not on the road he can always be found serving his local community with various organizations as well as leading worship at his home church at Cross Point in Nashville TN.
