From Quarterbacks to Questions of Faith

In this episode of the Reach Podcast, Blaine sits down again with Tanner Morgan—former University of Minnesota quarterback and now on staff with Search Ministries—to talk about what it really means to “flip the switch” when it comes to faith.

Tanner shares the story of his longtime friend “Travis,” a fellow quarterback who has been asking big questions about God, the Bible, and salvation. From wrestling with doubts like “Why would God send good people to hell?” to wondering if becoming a Christian is just about “turning it on” when you’re ready, Travis’s journey highlights the struggles many face in moving from curiosity to commitment.

Together, Blaine and Tanner explore how authentic relationships, honest conversations, and biblical truth can help break down intellectual barriers. They discuss the difference between performing for God and surrendering to Him, what it means to be a child of God, and how grace cannot be earned but must be received.
