Facing Adversity

I am very grateful to have played professionally in the USA and England. It’s been exciting, but it hasn't always been easy. My amazing wife and two great children have been a huge support. Even more important is my relationship with Jesus. My career has been checkered with a lot of injuries and other challenges. When I encounter such disappointments, it helps to remember that Jesus Christ faced even greater obstacles. Yet, He did not quit. He went all the way to death on the cross…for you, and for me. With God’s help, we don’t have to let the tough times drag us down. Like Jesus, we can actually regard adversity not as a setback but as an opportunity.
