When I saw that Kevin DeYoung (one of my favorite writers and cultural thinkers) was interviewing Kirk Cousins (the new quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons), I was really interested. I am not as enthusiastic about the Falcons as I am my Dawgs, but I do bandwagon when they are good. Perhaps Cousins is the missing piece.
ANYWAY, what caught my attention in this is that KDY and Cousins met in college while KDY was the pastor at a church in Michigan. DeYoung intentionally discipled Cousins in college, not knowing what Cousins would become. That discipleship in college really helped Cousins set a firm foundation that has made him a fantastic Christian who lives his faith well as a pro athlete. This is a big-picture look at why I believe college ministry is so important. Give it a listen.
