Pick one of the 10 Traits of a Godly Man and explain why it is important to you.
Trait 10: A Godly man has hard conversations.
This trait is very important to me because it is one of the hardest ones for me. Throughout my life I have struggled with opening up and having the hard conversations no one wants to have, but as I have grown up, I have been able to have those conversations even though I don't like them and the reason I do is because it is the right thing to do.
Have you been involved with FCA or FCA Hockey in the past? What has been your experience with us? How has FCA Hockey impacted you?
I have been involved with FCA for at least 5 years as a player and 2 years as a counselor. I was also at the camp in Omaha when I was young for the 50 state 50 City Tour that the Randazzo family did. FCA has impacted me so much throughout these years and I wouldn’t be the person today I am without FCA. I have learned how to grow as a man and learned how to share the word of God with the people around me. FCA has helped me with my journey as a hockey player but more importantly has helped me to grow in my faith.
What is your favorite scripture verse? Why is this important to you?
Proverbs 27:17
As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.
I really love this verse because this is what I try to follow as a person.
