A Journey of Trust: American UnderdogSample
You Were Born for This
A critical Biblical concept that Kurt and Brenda Warner understand comes out in this story. The idea that the struggles and challenges they went through prepared them to be ready for when the opportunity finally came. Brenda said, “You were born for this!” This idea of being made for the moment is expanded further in this video called “You Were Made for This Moment.”
God has invited you into an adventure with the people you encounter. In some cases, God takes people on an extraordinary journey like Kurt Warner (stocking grocery shelves to football superstar). For most, God works in wonderful ways on a different scale in our day-to-day lives. God wants you to be available and willing to do the things He calls you to do. Live your life as one who looks for ways to listen, connect with others, and help. Kurt’s preparation met an opportunity to glorify God in unbelievable ways. Are you available to respond to the extraordinary things God is inviting you into?
Application Questions:
- To what degree do you feel you are experiencing the great adventure that God intends you to have?
- How can you use this film to help start spiritual conversations?
Plan Summary
In the middle of Proverbs 22, there is a powerful verse. It is almost as if Solomon called a time out to remind the reader why he gives these life lessons. It says, “I am teaching you today — yes, you — so you will trust in the Lord” (NLT). That is it. God uses life lessons to build our trust. Our prayer is that these six days spent learning about Kurt and Brenda’s story have been a reminder to do that — to increase your trust in Him.

About this Plan
The Bible contains many stories of people God uses in incredible ways. The path is often not easy. Life's low points are preparation for something much more significant. The story of NFL football great Kurt Warner has a similar theme. It is a modern-day story of someone who believed and trusted God amid shattered dreams. This plan ties Biblical concepts into useful, practical applications.
