    David Pollack - Faith No Matter What

    David Pollack - Faith No Matter What

    Imagine being one of the best in the world at what you do with your entire career ahead of you. Now picture it being taken away in an instant, never being able to perform at your job ever again. As an All-American linebacker at Georgia and a first round pick in the NFL draft, David Pollack knew exactly how that felt. While it would have been easy to retreat into depression and bitterness, David’s faith in God’s provision provided an unshakeable resolve to press forward into uncharted territories for him and his family. Having recently been let go by ESPN, Pollack joins Above and Beyond in the midst of career uncertainty…and yet shares the exact same resolve and faith that powers his infectious joy and belief in God’s plans.

Great kid, Fantastic show

I remember meeting Brock when he was a freshman at UDub. Although he got a lot of comparisons to his older brother, Ivan Drago, he is a fantastic kid and has always had a big heart in addition to his fiery competitiveness. This podcast is one of my very favorites. Brock asks great questions and gives his interviewees the opportunity to share from their hearts, their faith, their experience - warts and all.

Why so few women athletes?

This is a big gap in your podcast. Why such a bias toward just the male athlete? Are you part of the evangelical Christian right who demean and discount women?

Inspirational and thought-provoking podcast

This podcast has been a regular spot for me for several years now where I have found inspiration and relevance in the lives of the athletes that Brock has chosen to be on this podcast Brox, genuine and authentic personality allow him to ask deep in important questions for those who are seeking to find meaning in life. I have shared this over and over with family and friends that’s how good it is! Thanks Brock for stepping out in faith to help the world hear these amazing stories of people who have been changed by Jesus Christ!
