Joining us today on the podcast is a man the country fell in love with during the Ohio State football team’s National Championship run, TreVeyon Henderson. Time after time, when the pressure was on, TreVeyon along with his OSU teammates stepped up and performed on the field, but more importantly spoke up and shed a light on thier unwavering faith in their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Further, he was even more recently drafted as the 38th overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft to the New England Patirots where he looks forward to what god has in store for this next season of life. However, life hasn’t always been sunshine and rainbows for TreVeyon. Like all of us, he is no stranger to suffering being raised in Hopewell, VA and battling depression, anxiety, sleep paralysis, and suicidal ideation. But by the grace of God, when he met Jesus, everything changed! Throughout today’s conversation you’ll be encouraged by TreVeyon’s testimony as well as his heart and passion for the Lord and some of the lessons he’s learned along the way. Above all else, TreVeyon wants one message to ring loud and clear - true VICTORY can only be found in JESUS!

Join me as I walk with Shaheer Mustafa, President and CEO of Hopewell. His vulnerability and authenticity are what make him such an exceptional leader. He leads with a genuine desire to keep learning and growing.
