Steve Weatherford, Super Bowl Champion turned Kingdom warrior, opens up about the darkest night of his life—the night he won it all and felt more empty than ever, from addiction to painkillers, s*icidal thoughts, and a broken identity, to a radical encounter with The Holy Spirit that changed everything.
This episode isn’t just a testimony; it’s a spiritual awakening for every man stuck in a mission-driven life instead of a purpose-driven one. Steve shares the moment God found him in the darkest place, how childhood trauma and religious confusion planted lies that nearly destroyed him, and what happened when he surrendered completely to Jesus. If you’ve ever felt “not enough,” this is your wake-up call.
This is the most vulnerable, powerful, and life-changing conversation you’ll hear all year. It's time to walk in full authority. It's time to go from distracted to activated.
👊 Men will cry. Chains will break. Legacies will shift.
