Ben Malcolmson - From USC Walk On To The Seattle Seahawks Sidelines To Walking In Faith & Purpose

#31: Ben was Seattle Seahawks Head Coach Pete Carroll's right hand man. From a University of Southern California walk on to the NFL sidelines Ben shares his story of faith & purpose. As a student at USC Ben wrote for the Daily Trojan. He was focused on pursing a career in journalism. What started as a good idea about documenting what it was like to go through walk on tryouts for the USC football team turned into even more than what he imagined. Ben made the team. This was at the prime of the USC football dynasty in the 2000's. Throughout his time at USC Ben connected and developed a relationship with Coach Pete Carroll. It led to an opportunity to work on the USC football staff and then with Coach Carroll to the Seattle Seahawks. In Ben's book "Walk On" (From Pee Wee Dropout to the Sidelines - My Unlikely Story of Football, Purpose, and Following an Amazing God) he talks about "the nudge". He shares that every time he gets the nudge from God of stepping out in faith he tries to take it. In the show you will see how many times he has done just that and in the moment he didn't see the results that he thought he would. However, God has bigger and better plans. From his own experiences you will see how sometimes it is not the momentary results, but the courage and diligence to act and follow God's nudge in your life, even when you can't see the outcome. For more info on Ben Malcolmson check out https://benmalcolmson.com/His Book - Walk On (also being turned into a movie)Enjoy the show!
