Hello, I’m Joe Pursch, and this is a Transforming Moment.  Reggie White was a football player with the Philadelphia Eagles and later the Green Bay Packers. If you’re a football fan, you will fondly remember the great defensive player, who was called “The Minister of Defense”, both because he charged quarterbacks  like no one ever has, and because he preached the Gospel wherever he went. Reggie died unexpectedly on December 28, 2003 from a lung disease. I remember that day. The impact of his loss was felt deeply, not only by his teammates but by everyone but admired the test of character that pro football can be, because when it came to character, Reggie White, the Minister of Defense, won every down. Gilbert Brown anchored the middle of the line as a nose tackle when Reggie played with the Packers. He said this:  “On the field, Reggie White led physically like no one I’ve ever seen. But off the field, the kindest thing Reggie ever did for me was to tell me how to be a man.” Who are you mentoring in life’s lineup today? Could they say the same thing about you? I’m Joe Pursch, and this has been a Transforming Moment.
