Have you ever had your sport taken away from you in an instant, leaving you to question your identity because it was so tightly tied to your athletic journey? When that happens, where do you turn? What do you look to for meaning? In this episode, we're joined by our good friend and first guest, Justin Hill, who shares his powerful story of navigating these very questions. As a former collegiate athlete, Justin’s journey took an unexpected turn that ultimately led him to seek a deeper connection with God and discover a newfound faith.

Justin Hill, a talented basketball player from Lancaster, California, earned first-team All-League honors at Antelope Valley College before transferring to Cal State East Bay to continue his basketball career. While Justin has numerous athletic achievements to his name, the most significant impact he's made has been through his passion for Jesus and his commitment to sharing His love with others.

Tune in to hear Justin's inspiring story and how faith reshaped his life and purpose beyond the court.
