As a second round draft pick in 1995 for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Bryan was living his dream of moving off the farm and making a name for himself. Although his successful NFL career gave him power, prestige, and popularity, his unprocessed hurt and pain manifested in a near breakdown on the golf course and his pregnant wife gave him an ultimatum - go to a team Bible Study. That night, the spirit of God moved so mightily in Bryan that it changed the trajectory of his life and set him on a path to fight Worthy Opponents, not just in the NFL, but as a Chaplain for the Colorado Rockies baseball team, as a Pastor, as a professional coach for high level leaders, and in his family with his wife and 7 children. Hear how Bryan’s book of the same title “Worthy Opponents” encourages us to see challenges as not only opportunities for growth & transformation, but ways for us to grow in intimacy with Father God. This interview gives a glimpse into God’s longsuffering and depth of his love for us as his children and will leave you encouraged to not grow weary in this hour but to embrace the superior reality of his kingdom and your unique role in it. Listen as we discuss generational iniquities, changes in the corporate church, spiritual warfare, transhumanism and how knowing that we are born of a different age gives us authority to leverage God’s economy and operating system to usher in His kingdom here on Earth.

As a former Navy Sailor, Cheryl was a tough, strong person who loved her work, but when her husband died unexpectedly her tough exterior was shattered. She became absorbed in her work as a way to forget her pain and distanced herself from everybody until she realized she needed Jesus to move on. She had always known Jesus but after her loss, she experienced his deeper love. The intimacy that God was giving her allowed her to see the new doors that He was opening for her calling. She now thrives in the love of Jesus and shares it with others through all of her ministries.

Hang with your hosts Hollis and Lori in this special mini-episode. We discuss what is happening in this season in our lives, the closeness we feel with the Lord and how our obedience to God is impacting the podcast. As we explore the theme of obedience toward God, we discover that God can call us to rest and He can also force us to rest. Hear how we are following God’s call to rest through this 2021 holiday season and our hope that we can lead by example to rest in Him.
