I ONCE WAS

Stories of transformation from the lives of pro athletes

***

Early in his NFL career, Bryant Young suffered a severe injury that left him in so much pain he was unable to do anything physically. But then he experienced a “God moment.” God had his attention and began to speak into his heart. Where Bryant once would have kept to himself, God challenged him to be vulnerable and open about his brokenness. Relationships with Godly men soon began to develop, and his relationship with Christ became very real.

Watch the video above to hear Bryant tell his “I Once Was” story.
