About this episode

Heath Evans shares how his NFL career and personal struggles led him to a mission of faith and serving fatherless boys.

I'm joined by Heath Evans, who spent 10 years in the NFL, built a career in broadcasting, and had every outward sign of success. But in this conversation, he reflects on the mission that changed everything. He shares how suffering exposed pride, sin, and self-glory, and how surrender led him to faith, obedience, and a new mission: discipling men and starting a non-profit serving fatherless boys. His testimony is a story about discipline, accountability, redemption, and what happens when your life stops being about you.
