How Football Thought Me To Be A Better Youth Pastor | Untuck Your Cross Ep. 12

Joshua Yee grew up carrying weight that most people never have to face. His mom was told to abort him — and chose to keep him anyway, even when it cost her everything.

That choice set off a chain of events that included hardship, a moment he can only describe as supernatural, a football dream, and an altar call that changed the direction of his life. Now Josh is a youth pastor pouring into the next generation in Calgary's toughest neighborhoods.

This episode goes deep on identity, sacrifice, and what it looks like to steward influence when no one's watching you on the O-line.

🎯 IN THIS EPISODE:

• Josh's testimony: from a difficult childhood to a miraculous turning point at age 12
• Why his mom's choice to keep him shaped his entire worldview
• How football taught him selflessness before ministry did
• The day he sacrificed his CFL dream at a Bible college altar
• What it takes to lead youth in Calgary's roughest areas without burning out
• How to build your identity in Christ when the game is over
