Last year, I was a guest on the Building Excellence Podcast with Bailey Miles. Bailey asked me some great questions, including about coming to faith, how I got into ministry, and my experience of becoming a writer. We also talked about mentorship, stewardship, and how adversity affects our faith, as the role sports have played in my life.
Here are the questions we covered, if you’d like to skip to certain ones:
00:00 What was life like growing up for you?
3:48 How did your faith become real to you?
7:23 What is your history with sports? What sports did you play in high school?
10:12 What about college? What was the process of God calling you into ministry?
13:34 Were you seeking out mentors as a young Christian? Who were your mentors?
