BraveMen S3E58: Winner, Loser, Champion - The Wild Story of NFL Player Clint Gresham

Brave Men Podcast - A podcast by Paul Louis Cole

Clint Gresham is a Super Bowl champion, motivational speaker and entrepreneur. As a member of the NFL Seattle Seahawks he won one Super Bowl in 2014 and lost the next in 2015. For most of his life the final score in a football game was Clint’s only measure of who he was as a man. That changed when his life spiraled out of control as a talented college football player.   Growing up in the windy Texas coastal town of Corpus Christi, Clint seemed to have it all as a young man heading to a major university to play football. But, behind the bright lights of football his life was a darkening mess – filled with alcohol, partying and general mayhem.   One eventful day a friend told him about the reality of salvation through Jesus Christ. The words brought back powerful memories of church as a child, truths he couldn’t escape or drink away. He committed his life to Christ – and everything changed.   Now the question in his mind was, “What does a Christian man look like?” That’s when he discovered the book Maximized Manhood. Clint told me, “That’s when I discovered what true manhood looked like. I read that book more than once and made notes in it so it would get into my heart. Dr. Cole was mentoring me from the pages of a book. But, that changed my life – it gave me strength in the good times and the tough times.”   Recently Clint has been a keynote speaker for CMN at numerous events and carries a powerful inspiring message. He is married to Matti and they have daughter and a new baby on the way. Clint is traveling as a speaker and has written the best-selling book, “Becoming, Loving the Process to Wholeness.”
