About The Podcast

“We have plans, but God directs our path,” says Omar Mance. His own life is proof of that: He went to LSU with hopes of making it to the NBA, but after sensing he needed something different in his life, he transferred to a smaller school, which set him on the road to becoming a coach and mentor. After coaching stints at a wide variety of universities, Mance founded The Circle Legacy, a nonprofit dedicated to helping men become mentors who can make a meaningful impact and leave spiritual legacies of their own. This week he talks with Nate Dewberry about sports, coaching, and being open to seeing how God can turn times of struggle or disappointment into something positive.
