No matter what arena of life he's in, pastor and coach Chad Hammontree desires to give all his breath in worship to Jesus. From growing up as a pastor's kid in Florida to playing college football in North Dakota, Chad shares how God shaped his identity from being wrapped up in sports to being firmly rooted in Christ.
