About The Podcast
It was supposed to just be a fun story for the USC student newspaper, but Ben Malcolmson’s tryout for the Trojans football team led to a spot as a walk-on wide receiver—and a lengthy professional relationship with head coach Pete Carroll, whom Ben served as a special assistant when Carroll became head coach of the Seattle Seahawks. Ben’s story wasn’t without its challenges, pitfalls, and disappointments, but in the fullness of time, he came to understand the purpose God had in mind for him—and why God had put him on such an amazing path. Ben talks with Nate Dewberry on this week’s podcast about his experiences in the fast-paced world of professional football, living fully in our identities in Christ, and staying willing to trust God’s for us even when the full picture isn’t immediately clear.
