Faith Beyond The Field

Luke McCown came to know the Lord when he was 7, but it wasn't until High School where he fully understood what that journey entailed. He's a father of 6, and his wife Katy is a writer for Proverbs 31 Ministries and president of She Laughs Ministries. Their journey together has seen them move all over from Luke's football career, and they experienced a true challenge with their son Elijah as an infant. Luke talks at length about how he stays rooted in Christ while wearing so many hats, and how his time with the New Orleans Saints was his favorite because of some of the amazing things they did off the field. Luke also talks about the state of the church, and the work he's doing with Idols Aside Ministries.

Jon Kitna played 16 years in the NFL with several teams. He never grew up as a person who was fed spiritually, as his family never had the Gospel in their home. One day in the college setting, he had something drastic happen that made him turn to God and give his life to Jesus. Eric Boles, who played for the Jets, told him about Jesus and helped disciple Jon and pour into him. He's never looked back since.

If you're a Saints fan, you know who Chris Reis is.

Reis is now a Pastor at Our Savior's Church in Lafayette, and his life journey and story is one that is truly all God.

It's been too long since the last episode of FBTF. Training camp was pretty nuts, but the main issue was not being intentional here. This season of life has been challenging, especially with the growth of Faith Beyond The Field. Personally, it's been a struggle in my walk. However, let's talk about it and what the past couple of months has been like.
