What happens when your entire identity and self-worth are wrapped up in athletic performance, and suddenly that's taken away? Wesley Tucker, an offensive lineman at Baylor University, lived this reality when a devastating injury sidelined him just as he was beginning to rebuild his relationship with God.

"I had a good game, I loved myself. I had a bad game, I hated myself," he said.

But God wasn't finished with him. See what happens through Baylor's team Bible study, as Wes gradually reconnects with his faith. Then came the defining moment – a catastrophic knee injury that ended his season. Lying on the field in excruciating pain, something shifted: "Okay God, it's yours. You want my attention? You have it.”

Have you tied your identity to something as fragile as performance or achievement? Listen to Wes's powerful testimony of finding purpose beyond the field and discovering that no one is ever too far gone for transformation. And see inside the college football God movements that preceded current larger movements happening on campuses nationwide
