David Pollack, college football Hall of Famer and former NFL player, shares how life-altering adversity—including a career-ending injury—reshaped his faith, purpose, and perspective. From losing everything he worked for in a single moment to rebuilding with intention, David opens up about how God used hardship to refine his identity, strengthen his family, and deepen his relationship with Christ. 

Christian resilience, overcoming adversity, and trusting God’s plan: David shares the heart behind his new book Every Day Counts. He talks about how his faith shifted from routine to relationship, what it looks like to slow down and truly listen to God, and how those lessons continue to shape the way he approaches life, purpose, and daily decisions. 



Highlights
How a career-ending NFL injury became a turning point in faith and perspective
Moving from transactional faith to a personal relationship with God
The biblical principle of “be still” and learning to hear God’s voice

The “50-40-10 rule” for discipline, growth, and personal excellence
Finding purpose after setbacks in career, family, and life transitions
The role of gratitude and perspective in navigating loss and change
