How the Impact of a Coach Changed a Life Forever | Nate Safe | Ep. 001

Nate Safe was wrapped up in football. He was an offensive lineman at NDSU, team captain, and everything about his life was tied to football. When his playing career was over, he felt like he might have wasted his life. But then, Jesus got a hold of his heart — and it all started a decade before through the faithful influence of a coach.

In this powerful first episode, Nate shares the story of how God used a high school coach, a season of searching, and a men’s Bible study to lead him into a personal relationship with Christ. From former athlete to FCA State Director, Nate's story is a testimony to the grace of God and the ripple effect of gospel-centered leadership.
