POPULARITY
The NFL may be the pinnacle of professional sports in the United States. An NFL athlete must be well-trained to reach such a high level. We tend to look up to these athletes and assume they have their life “all together.” Ultimately, it doesn't matter whether you are an NFL superstar or a kid from the southside of Chicago; you will get stuck once or twice in your life. LaMorris Crawford knows about both of these worlds. LaMorris grew up in gangs on the south side of Chicago. He went from experiencing a life of poverty to where he is now, hanging out with professional athletes as an NFL Chaplain and Marriage and Family Pastor at Relentless Church in South Carolina. In this episode of Learned Opportunity, LaMorris shares his experience helping professional athletes get unstuck so they can have better marriages and lives. If LaMorris can help NFL players from the Cincinnati Bengals meet their potential, then he has some best practices to help you get unstuck so that you can start creating opportunities. LaMorris talks to us about: Setting rhythms Solidifying your identity Dreaming big dreams And more….

LaMorris and Megan Crawford came from two different worlds. He grew up in gangs on the South Side of Chicago. She grew up sheltered in the cornfields of Indiana. But when Megan met LaMorris at a Christian college, she fell in love. Her parents, however, did not. They didn't have to meet him, he was black and that was enough.

Born into a life defined by poverty and crime, LaMorris Crawford had a pretty tough childhood. The orphaned son of a teenage mother, LaMorris looked for anything he could find to numb his pain. Sports, popularity, drugs — all the coping mechanisms available to a poor young kid were not enough. All of that changed when LaMorris had a radical encounter with Jesus. Once a poor kid with little hope for a future, he now works as a traveling evangelist and the chaplain for the Cincinnati Bengals. LaMorris joins Davey to talk about his story of transformation, how he's finding redemption in the worst aspects of his own history, and some of the chances he's had to share the hope he's found with others.

Problems don’t change, unless you change them. LaMorris Crawford grew up with his grandmother, my mother was murdered and I was in a gang by 12 and selling crack cocaine by the age of 14.. “I was doing those things to fill a void in my life, and the void only got bigger… Sports was my outlet.” After seeing someone change for 3 years, LaMorris gave his life to Christ when he was 19. At 16, he didn’t need God, or so he thought. Now as a sport’s chaplain for the Cincinnati Bengal’s, LaMorris works with the team sharing the gospel. “You’re not born with character, it’s taught and developed… Part of humility, and compassion, is paying for a single mother’s laundry. It’s all about making other people important.” We are made in his likeness, his image, and have the spirit of God in us. Expose your heart, mind, and spirit to the word. Develop a HUNGER for God’s word and run your race.
