One of the most common things we hear from young adults is that they want more exposure and a larger platform. While this may not always be a bad thing, it is important to ask ourselves how we are currently stewarding the platform we have and position we are in right now! In this week's episode, Ryan has a conversation with two NCAA Men's Basketball stars, Chase Johnston and Trae Benham, who detail the story of how God used them in mighty ways to proclaim his name all across the country!

Chase Johnston and Trae Benham are two standout basketball stars from High Point University. Aside from sharing their testimonies and glorifying Christ on a national stage, Chase and Trae both helped lead High Point to their first ever NCAA March Madness appearance, as well as one of the best seasons in school history.
