Sunday Morning Worship | Students Meet Jimmy Carter

Pastor Jimmy Carter shares his personal journey from being a local student-athlete to becoming the church's new senior pastor. Reflecting on his roots as a "Dunwoody Wildcat," Carter describes how his identity was once solely tied to football, leading to a period of "lukewarm" faith and personal struggle after a failed college recruitment attempt. He recounts how God unexpectedly opened doors for him to play at the University of Kentucky, where a Fellowship of Christian Athletes Bible study eventually led him to fully commit his life to Christ. Using his experience of punting through a record-breaking 73-0 loss to Florida as a backdrop, he encourages the students to embrace their identity as God’s "workmanship" (Ephesians 2:10), emphasizing that their value is found in Jesus rather than performance and expressing his excitement to invest in the next generation of church leaders.
