“When a good thing becomes an ultimate thing, it becomes a destructive thing!”
It’s so easy for us as men to pursue identity in external things. The enemy loves to deceive men to put our identity in anything and everything other than resting and being anchored in our God-given identity in Christ. We’ll chase anything or anybody who will tell us that we’re loved, valued and important. It doesn’t matter what it is—our appearance, achievements, job titles, our successes, or our bank account. But it’s critical for us to find our true identity in who God says we are, instead of trying to find it in what we do or what we have.
Our guest this week is Jason Dunn. Jason is a homegrown Kentucky boy who grew up on a farm, went to Harrodsburg High School, and received a scholarship to play tight end at Eastern Kentucky University. After an amazing college career, Jason earned a spot on EKU’s Hall of Fame and was drafted as the 54th pick in the NFL draft to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Jason played twelve years in the NFL with the Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs. His story is filled with a lot of mountains and valleys. In our conversation today, we’ll talk about football and life after football. Jason is a husband and dad. He and his wife Susan are foster care parents, and their family is a part of our church.
