In this episode, Karina sits down with former pro basketball player Vaughn Duggins, whose story is a powerful testimony of redemption, identity, and the transformative love of Jesus. From leading Indiana high school basketball in scoring to playing professionally overseas, Vaughn’s life appeared golden—until hidden battles with alcohol, people-pleasing, and spiritual passivity nearly took it all down.
But when God stripped away the one thing Vaughn had built his identity on—basketball—everything changed. What followed was a full surrender to Christ, a new calling into ministry, and a renewed understanding of what it means to lead, love, and live with purpose.
If you’ve ever struggled with identity, expectations, or feeling “too far gone,” Vaughn’s story will meet you right where you are—and offer hope that no matter how far you've gone, God's redemption reaches further.
