Apr 23, 2025I ONCE WAS
Stories of life transformation from the pro sports world
***
With a Baptist minister for a grandfather, Tyler Clutts’ family went to church every Sunday. As he grew older, though, he developed a performance-based identity, always pursuing perfection in life and Christianity. He knew Jesus was our Savior, but never felt His presence. Once in the NFL, a teammate invited Tyler to a Christian conference, and he went, albeit “kicking and screaming.” But one morning, hearing a sermon about how we don’t have to earn the love of Christ, Tyler felt God’s presence for the first time. He discovered that when he draws close to Christ, he can love his family the way God calls him to, and be a light in a dark world.
Watch the video above to hear Tyler Clutts 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.
