Can an out-of-shape, 34-year-old father with zero soccer experience transform into a professional athlete in just two years? This video features an inspiring interview with Zach Duke, widely known as "World Cup Dad," who shares his extraordinary journey of picking up soccer for the first time at age 34 and remarkably getting drafted to play professionally by the age of 36. Beyond his viral sports success, Duke delves into his background in international missionary work across 45 countries, his childhood experiences with unexplained phenomena on his family's Indiana farm, and a profound personal encounter that shifted his faith from performance-driven legalism to relational intimacy. Throughout the discussion, he highlights how he leverages his athletic platform as a powerful tool for the gospel, his passion for mentoring fathers, and his upcoming opportunity to represent Team USA in the 6v6 World Cup in Germany.
