Скачать или смотреть Disciple of Jesus Disguised as a Football Player | Jordan Brown’s Story of a New Identity

The Identity Sports Podcast celebrates episode 50 with an exciting and impactful episode with Jordan Brown, a former Fresno State football walk-on whose journey is defined by faith, perseverance, and a deep re-centering of identity. Jordan didn’t arrive at Fresno State as a recruited athlete—he came as a student, quietly training on his own during his first year with the hope of one day earning a spot on the football team.

Growing up in the church, Jordan had a foundation of faith, but when he entered college, he found himself drifting from the Lord. For much of his life, church had been the primary place where spiritual growth happened, and without it, his faith stalled. Everything began to change when he got involved with the football program and Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Through community and reading scripture on his own and with others, Jordan began to experience real spiritual growth and saw God opening his eyes to a greater purpose—one rooted in glorifying Him.

Jordan shares how he came to understand that God and football are not separate parts of life, but deeply connected. As the Lord worked in his heart, Jordan learned that his identity is not defined by performance, playing time, or outcomes on the field, but by who he is in Christ. He dives into the importance of being in the Word, how Scripture feeds and sustains the soul, and why contentment in Christ is possible in every circumstance—whether chasing a dream, waiting patiently, or walking through a season of refinement.

This episode is an honest and encouraging reminder that your value doesn’t rise and fall with success—and that when your identity is rooted in Christ, every season has purpose.
