In this episode of the Every Day Matters podcast, Pastor Jeff talks with former coach Mike Flynt about his powerful journey of faith. Though not raised in a Christian home, Mike’s life changed through the prayers and example of his wife, Eileen. After hitting rock bottom in a season of despair, he surrendered to Christ—a decision that not only saved him but later inspired others, including a man who said Mike’s testimony kept him from ending his own life.
Mike also shares how he carried the regret of being dismissed from his college football team for decades. At age 59, he returned for a remarkable second chance walking on as a linebacker and becoming the oldest to play the position. His story, now told in the feature film The Senior, celebrates forgiveness, perseverance, and God’s grace in rewriting our stories.
Together, Jeff and Mike remind listeners that faith is lived out daily. Every moment is a chance to choose not just to be “good” but to be “great” in following Christ. Mike’s testimony encourages us to trust God with our regrets, live with purpose, and remember that every day truly matters.
