S8 Ep1 Football, Faith and Fighting Worthy Opponents- Bryan Schwartz
Manage episode 447166242 series 2674386
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.
