About The Podcast
Cody Hollister has two parents who’ve loved and supported him, a twin brother with whom he has an unshakeable bond—and, oh yeah, a seven-year NFL career, one that includes a Super Bowl ring won as a member of the 2018 Patriots. But even with all these blessings, Cody has faced his share of challenges, from struggling to catch on with a college team to being a child of divorce. Cody talks with Nate Dewberry this week about how he’s persevered through difficulties and setbacks, and how building community at his church has helped him find a sense of freedom from past failures.

How to Break the Cycle of Dysfunction
When Jake met his future wife, he describes the two of them as “two trainwrecks” who endured a long period of dysfunction because they’d simply never learned to relate to each other on a deeper level. Then Jake’s wife found a church, and a church family—and eventually he realized he needed to undertake a spiritual journey of his own if their marriage was to survive.
