Episode Details

David Pollack, college football Hall of Famer and former NFL player, shares how life-altering adversity—including a career-ending injury—reshaped his faith, purpose, and perspective. From losing everything he worked for in a single moment to rebuilding with intention, David opens up about how God used hardship to refine his identity, strengthen his family, and deepen his relationship with Christ.

Christian resilience, overcoming adversity, and trusting God’s plan: David shares the heart behind his new book Every Day Counts.
