The Wow Factor


Aug 19, 2020

On today’s episode of the Wow Factor, we are joined by Kirk Cousins, the football quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings. Growing up surrounded by a football loving (and playing) family, Kirk’s passion to play was ignited by his grandfather’s love for the game. He played college football at Michigan State from 2009 to 2011 and was drafted by the Washington Redskins in the fourth round of the 2012 NFL Draft, eventually signing as a free agent with the Vikings in 2018.

 

In this episode, you’ll hear about Kirk’s love for football that started at a young age and how he has been guided by God and the influential leaders in his life and throughout career.

 

Highlights:

  • Kirk Cousins’­­ upbringing
  • The memorable ‘Hail Mary’
  • Interpreting life through scripture
  • The influential leadership and guidance by Jesus and Kirk’s Coaches & Family
  • “In the abundance of counselors there is wisdom”
  • Working with the International Justice Mission (IJM) (link below)
  • An overview of Kirk’s physical fitness & what he does to maintain and prepare during the off-season
  • What it’s like to get “sacked” and being in a “huddle”

 

Key Takeaway: Whatever happens, God has a plan and purpose for you.
