S3E10 From Draft Day to Detours (Josiah Deguara, NFL Tight End) with Jesus!
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we sit down with NFL tight end Josiah Deguara to talk about his journey of faith—growing up as a preacher’s kid, walking away from the Lord, and encountering Him again in a powerful way during college.
Josiah shares what it was like playing football at the University of Cincinnati, where God began moving not just in his life, but among teammates and friends. What started as personal renewal turned into a small revival, including a student-athlete Bible study that impacted many.
He also opens up about being drafted by the Green Bay Packers, navigating injuries, and learning to trust God in the unexpected “detours” of life. Most recently with the Arizona Cardinals, Josiah reflects on what it looks like to follow Jesus in the uncertainty of free agency.
Now in the offseason, Josiah is training, staying ready, and trusting God as he waits for the next opportunity—while also embracing life as a husband and new dad. Based in Sacramento, he’s using this season to invest in others, speaking to high school students through Fellowship of Christian Athletes and pointing the next generation to Jesus.
It’s an honest, encouraging conversation about identity, surrender, and walking with Jesus through every season.
