Episode description

When the Lord leads you to share the gospel with someone or tell them about Him, you never know where it might lead.

Today, we're bringing on Kyle Collins, a former Auburn football player who the Lord told to pray for and speak to a really bitter and angry young man on the team named Chette Williams. Those attempts to reach Chette eventually led to him receiving Christ.

The incredible story of how these two men's lives, who could not be more different, were interwoven in times of joy and hardship is one worth listening to and one that will encourage you to share your faith when prompted by the Spirit in the future.

Brother Chette Willimas went on to be the Chaplain for Auburn's football team and the Director of Auburn's chapter of Fellowship of Christian Athletes. His ministry was incredibly impactful and Coach Tuberville said his success would not have been possible without the ministry of Chette Williams.

Brother Chette passed away last year and at his funeral the large crowd was asked to stand if Chette Williams had led them to the Lord or baptized them. 70% of the crowd stood.

Collins took the reins of the Freedom Cowboys, formerly the Rocket City Cowboys, a homeschool football team based in Huntsville, from Stan McDonald 20 years ago and has been working tirelessly to evangelize and disciple young men through football ever since. It's an interesting mix of homeschoolers to at-risk youth that make up the team and no matter their background they are being introduced to biblical manhood and having their character developed through adversity.

This is an incredible episode where God's providence is on full display.
