Martial arts guru CJ Kirk has been doing martial arts for 30 years and is a 4th-degree black belt in Krav Maga. But CJ's physical prowess isn't what makes him a great man – it’s his heart. If you’re a long-time Maybe God listener, you’ve been hearing about CJ since 2019 when we first featured the powerful story of Meredith Kirk, the young woman he adopted when she was in her early 20s. Today, we’re hearing what compelled him to pursue a father-daughter relationship with a woman who insisted that she wasn’t looking for a father and how that same persistence drives his mentorship of men on the hunt for purpose and hope.
