uper Bowl Champ Steve Weatherford: From God Encounters to Hugging Obama & Overcoming Sexual Harassment - MaateCast Ep 15

Joining the Maates on this week's episode of the Maatecast is the one and only Steve Weatherford! Steve is easily the biggest guest so far... physically and statistically! He's a Superbowl WORLD Champion, 2 times NFL's Fittest Man, and Cover of Muscle And Fitness Magazine, but it's his love for Jesus and incredible testimony that has led him to find absolute joy and fulfilment in life.
The boys discuss Steve's upbringing and childhood that led to the strong mental mindset he needed to become an NFL superstar, but also how that mindset devoured his life and became his idol. Additionally, they discuss where God was throughout the highs and lows of Steve's career, and a moment with God that changed his life forever.
