God told Samuel the prophet in 1 Samuel 16:7 (NIV)

"But the LORD said to Samuel, “... The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”

You’ve also heard the phrases:

“I can do this all Day” or “Hulk. Smash!” Or “there’s only one God ma’am, and I’m pretty sure he doesn’t dress like that.”

In this episode of Kingdom & Culture we explore faith themes pulled from the recent “Captain America: Brave New World” movie and more, with former United States Congressional staffer by day & inspirational speaker & all around superhero by night, Aaron Welty. Aaron helps us unpack the importance of true heroism through brokenness and the ancient truth of a “pure heart”, fully dedicated to God. Aaron shares his personal testimony of overcoming the odds and the adversity of his own struggle with cerebral palsy, while pursuing Jesus wholeheartedly, with amazing metaphorical gems from various Marvel & DC superhero’s and maybe even some Star Wars references! Get ready to listen to “this all day”, or at least for the next 26 minutes.

Many athletes quote the verse from Philippians 4:13,“For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.” And it’s true! In this episode, we hear from 3 amazing collegiate athletes from 3 different sports who tell their stories of overcoming the odds.

All of these athletes share with us their stories and how God worked in their lives through collegiate athletics, both on individual as well as team levels. Whether you are an athlete or not, we hope their stories of faith in athletic culture will encourage you.
