WATCH: 'I ONCE WAS' - Former NFL Quarterback Trent Dilfer

I ONCE WAS

Stories of life transformation from the pro sports world

***

As a 10-year-old at a summer church camp, Trent Dilfer felt a really strong tug on his heart and made an authentic commitment — at the time — to receive Jesus as his Savior. But for the next 11 years, he remained “living for me.” In college, however, his pastor invited him to a camp where Trent saw dozens of other college athletes living authentic lives for Jesus, and also for others. It was at that camp that he decided to truly make Jesus his Lord and Savior, and begin living a life that was truly about serving others.

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

We’re all in the middle of a story, and whether we admit it or not, we want our stories to matter. It’s those stories of deep and lasting impact that come to life when a person encounters Jesus, and responds to Him by faith. “I Once Was” invites those in the pro sports world to share their own transformational stories, describing the very moment that changed their lives forever.
