\u201cWe can all learn how to be more honoring.\u201d \u2014 Miles McPherson

\xa0Miles McPherson is used to performing in front of large audiences, first as a defensive back for the San Diego Chargers and now as pastor of the Rock Church. The path from football player to religious leader and influencer wasn\u2019t an easy one; however, it\u2019s one he openly shares with his congregation each week.

In this episode, Brian interviews Miles about his journey. Miles reveals how his determination to play football led him to the Chargers after being cut from the Rams; how the admiration he had for two of his teammates caused him to give up drugs and recommit to God and his girlfriend (now wife); and how he came to build the Rock Church in San Diego.

He also discusses his new book, \u201cThe Third Option: Hope for a Racially Divided Nation,\u201d which delves into the concept of race and honor. You\u2019ll learn why it\u2019s important to honor those who are different from you, how one can be racially offensive but not be racist, and three tips for bringing more respect to all of your relationships.\xa0Click here\xa0to learn more about Miles\u2019 Race for Unity on September 15.
