Steve Weatherford, Super Bowl Champion and 10-year NFL punter, delivers a raw, powerful testimony on this episode: raised in a strict, legalistic Southern Baptist home that left him hating church and viewing God as a punisher, he endured childhood trauma at age 11 that shattered his faith, led to buried shame, porn addiction starting at 12, relentless achievement (transforming from 108 lbs to 225 lbs without steroids), and hidden struggles with substances and performance masks, culminating in suicidal depression in an Airbnb despite handing his dad the Super Bowl trophy. His turning point came after 15 years away from church: a prophetic word declaring “You’re home,” a Holy Spirit lightning-bolt encounter with the same Power Team pastor who led him to Jesus in 1994, his 11-year-old son getting saved at the exact same age in a full-circle moment, confessing burdens at a bonfire, and a one-year “monk mode” consecration that rewired his identity through the Holy Spirit.
