NFL Player Leaves Multi-Million Dollar Deal to Help Those in Need Jan 20, 2021

Show notes

Former NFL player Jason Brown was the highest paid center in the league. For years he avoided having a relationship with Jesus Christ, but that all changed one night in 2011.

“I said ‘tomorrow’ a thousand times, and again Jesus said ‘today.’"

Shortly afterward, God called Jason to retire from the NFL and dedicate his life to feeding communities and families in need. Now, he owns and operates First Fruits Farm, where he donates almost all of his crops. Jason shares about it on this episode of GPS: God. People. Stories.

John Cooper knows what it feels like to feel hurt, broken and angry. He knows what it feels like to question God and cry out for help. And because he knows Jesus, John has the answer to life’s problems. He’s committed to sharing that truth with people around the world through rock music.

John is the lead singer of the band Skillet and he joins us on this episode of GPS: God. People. Stories.
