Fr. Nate Wills has been the chaplain for the Notre Dame football team since 2018. He's been along for exhilarating triumphs and devastating losses. He's seen and felt the energy of packed stadiums and the nervous focus of the pregame rituals. He's watched young men try and fail, then recover and succeed. But through it all, maybe the most important thing of all is simply this: he's been there. He's been present. And because of that, he's witnessed the presence of God in unexpected and otherwise unseen places, and he's helped other people to take note, too.After collecting stories of these rich and humbling experiences, Fr. Nate has crafted these stories into short, illuminating reflections for the rest of us. His new book, Pray Like A Champion Today, opens up for us stories of the Notre Dame football program as seen in relation to the Gospel, with a call to prayer. Fr. Nate joins me today to talk about culture, character, and the presence of Christ as seen from the sidelines and beyond.Follow-up Resources:Pray Like a Champion Today, by Fr.
