TRENT DILFER, Former NFL Quarterback
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.
Walking with Christ is not about you. He didn't give us life so we could only be concerned about ourselves. All throughout the Bible, we are challenged to love others, pray for others, help others, and honor others, even above ourselves. No one can do this life alone; we all need other people. And when you discover the joy of serving others, you are transformed, like Trent, to be more like Jesus.
About this Plan
Current and former NFL players tell their transformational stories, describing the very moment that changed their lives forever. They share how they once were without Jesus, how they encountered Him, and how they responded to Him by faith.
