FamilyLife – A Cru Ministry

11: The Upset


Listen Later

John Driver had the privilege of writing a book with Tyler Trent. When Tyler was 15, he was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive form of bone cancer. When he was a 20 year old student at Purdue, he had beaten the cancer and had it return multiple times. At Purdue, his love for life, football, and the Lord became apparent and would soon be known by people around the world. Tyler became an honorary Purdue team captain. His story went viral on ESPN and his prediction of Purdue's upset over highly ranked Ohio State became a metaphor for Tyler's life. Stricken with cancer, barely able to move or speak, Tyler showed the world that, in Christ, when we are weak, He is strong. John Driver shares his perspective of Tyler's life as a pastor and author and as one of many who was inspired by Tyler's life.
