Eric Weddle: From Retirement to Super Bowl in Six Weeks

It was a call Eric Weddle never would've anticipated when he hung up his jersey for what he thought was the last time two years earlier. But the Los Angeles Rams were in desperate need of a safety and asked if Weddle would don the jersey for one last run. Weddle certainly didn't feel he was NFL Playoff ready, but he was in good physical shape and has never been one to pass up an opportunity. So with the encouragement of his wife and kids, Weddle left his carpool duties as a father for a time and set out on an unlikely quest to win a Super Bowl. When the Super Bowl was over, he happily returned to the carpool.  1:51- An Ending Made For A Movie 7:02- Being Ready And Taking Opportunities 10:52- The Culmination of Work 14:36- Sharing The Experience With Kids 17:43- Mental Toughness 20:46- Becoming Part of a Team Fast 24:16- Coaching  26:01- Seeing God's Hand 30:55- Finding the Gospel  39:11- Putting God First 44:44- What Does It Mean To Be All In the Gospel of Jesus Christ?  "The world and everything outside doesn't want us to be close to the Savior, doesn't want us to have stability and doesn't want us to have families and a core unit at home that we rely on each other…they don't want that.
