Arrested, Nearly Killed, No Way Out.
Featuring Jaryd Boyer — boxing coach, mentor, and founder of a faith-centered gym serving over 1,000 young people.
Jaryd grew up with no filter and no mentorship. There were no rules, only the streets and the ring. By every measure, he should not be alive today.
Then something changed. A fight he didn't see coming. A faith he didn't ask for. A community he didn't think existed for someone like him.
Today, Jaryd leads a faith-centered boxing initiative that has served over 1,000 young people. This is the story of how he got from the floor of a holding cell to the corner of a ring where kids now learn to throw their first punch.
“When Jesus entered into my life, everything changed.”
Jaryd Boyer
A coach. A mentor. A father figure to a thousand kids.
Today, Jaryd runs a faith-centered boxing gym in his community where he mentors young people who remind him of who he used to be. The gym has served over 1,000 kids. He still steps into the ring himself. He believes the most powerful conversations happen between rounds.
