My family didn’t have much, growing up in poverty in Pensacola, Fla., but we had
each other, and that was really all we needed. My six brothers and I loved to be outside playing every sport imaginable, sometimes even inventing our own games. I can still remember playing football in the yard with my brothers and cousins, dreaming of one day playing in the NFL.

Fit4Ever: Life-Changers
No life-changing adversity or blessing can separate us from the love of Christ. We can be more than conquerors through Him.

Home Stretch: Stephen Curry, Golden State Warriors
My dad may have been playing in the NBA at the time, but the best basketball games I remember from my childhood were the ones between my little brother, Seth, and me on our backyard basketball court in Charlotte, N.C. We’d play for hours and hours, oftentimes well into the night with the use of a bright stage light shining on the court, until our mom would yell out the window for us to come in. Those games would get pretty heated, but that was the norm for brothers as close as we were.
