From the Gridiron to Grace — with Jonathan Meeks of Christ Training

🎙️Some stories don’t just inspire — they set you free. ✨

On this episode of The Dap and A Hug Podcast, I sit down with Jonathan Meeks — Rock Hill native, former Rock Hill Bearcat, Clemson University standout, and Buffalo Bills safety — now the co-founder of Christ Training, a men’s ministry built on discipline, humility, and daily growth in faith.

Jonathan opens up about his journey from the gridiron to guiding others through purpose and perseverance. And during our conversation, I shared a moment from my own life — a painful and traumatic experience — and how, through faith, I still found the strength to forgive. Together, we talked about how grace, love, and accountability truly transform lives.

We also dive into Colossians 3, exploring what it means to set our hearts on things above and live with compassion, kindness, and forgiveness — even when it’s hardest to do so. 🙏🏾

This conversation is honest, real, and rooted in redemption — a powerful reminder that healing doesn’t erase the pain, but it does show us how to rise beyond it. 🌱
