Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) is really catching on around here so we got the Northeast Iowa Director of FCA, Ben Schmidt on for episode 75!Ben grew up in good home with supportive parents who always encouraged him in everything he did. So when they got divorced while Ben was in JH, it was life-changing for him.After excelling in sports and football in particular, Ben left the small town Keswick, Iowa and walked on to the UNI Panthers football team, eventually earning a scholarship.But that first year of college, Ben self admittedly "fell on his face" and really was going nowhere in life. But thanks to being introduced to a real relationship with Jesus through campus ministry...come 2nd semester, Ben fell to his knees and gave his life to Jesus!Best decision ever! The Lord turned things around and now Ben is not only married 17 yrs and 3 kids, he is still working with UNI Panthers on spiritual and character growth along with highschoolers all across NE Iowa with Fellowship of Christian Athletes!Check out this great story of a small town kid who went from studying to be a Dentist and living the college party scene to seeing what he always knew about creation when he switched to Biology...that there is an amazing creator who loves us behind our design!If you are new to our podcast please...Like, Follow, Subscribe, Share & Rate 5 Stars wherever you listen/watch podcasts: Spotify / Apple Podcasts / YouTubeFollow us on Facebook / Instagram / TikTok
