I ONCE WAS
Stories of transformation from the lives of pro athletes
***
Mike Fisher was in the NHL at 19 years old and making a lot of money, but also making bad choices. He felt shame and emptiness, and felt he was losing his soul, even though he was at the pinnacle of success as the world views it. His cousin, however, saw him struggling, and invited him to study the Bible. Through that time, the Lord “broke” Mike. God gave him a new purpose, and Mike now knows what it is to find true life.
Watch the video above to hear Mike tell his “I Once Was” story, and listen to the podcast below to hear Mike expand on the moment that changed his life.
