This past Saturday, I had the incredible honor of serving as a guest speaker at the Disabled Outdoorsmen USA 5th Annual Banquet. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to connect with so many inspiring individuals and to meet the amazing men and women who make this organization so special. Every conversation and every story shared reminded me of the strength, resilience, and heart within this community. I give all the glory to God for allowing me to be in that room and for continuing to open doors that let me share my journey. I am forever thankful to be a part of such an outstanding organization and look forward to continuing to support the powerful mission of Disabled Outdoorsmen USA.

RESISTING THE VOICE OF LIES

Going Rogue With Lara Logan producer and co-host Luke Coffee opens this conversation by naming a hard truth most people avoid. Pain does not come out of nowhere. Suffering is part of a fallen, broken world. There are moments when the pressure pushes toward despair, anger, numbness, or the voice telling you to give up. Sometimes the clearest move is to pause, recognize what is pulling you down, and choose the opposite.

In this special ROGUE OVERTIME: HOPE IN GRIEF episode, Luke is joined by Blake Lindley and Jonathan McComb. Two men who have lived through a parent’s worst nightmare. Losing a child. Together, they speak honestly about grief, faith, and the daily choice to keep going when everything in you wants to stop.

They talk about weakness, about falling short, and about the grace that keeps calling us back again and again even when life breaks us in ways we never thought possible.

A simple reminder still matters.

ROGUE OVERTIME: HOPE IN GRIEF

In this overtime episode of Going Rogue With Lara Logan, Producer and Co-Host Luke Coffee sits down with close friends Jonathan McComb and Blake Lindley for a raw, deeply personal conversation about a parent’s worst nightmare losing a child.

Blake shares the story of his daughter Vivi and why the word “lost” no longer feels right to him. He reflects on how grief reshapes language, faith, and identity, and how knowing where his daughter is brings both heartbreak and hope.

He speaks about expecting life to unfold with identical twin daughters, watching them play alongside their older brother Hudson, and believing his future was set until illness turned into leukemia and tragedy struck suddenly. In the aftermath, the Kerrville, Texas community where he resides surrounded their family with love, prayers, and presence.

Often told he and his wife are strong or heroic, Blake offers a humbler truth. When people pray for peace and strength, he believes those prayers are being answered not because he is strong, but because God is faithful.

This conversation offers honesty, compassion, and hope to anyone navigating grief in turbulent times.

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. ~ John 1:5

[DK🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸 @1Nicdar]

130 schools said no.
He led the losingest program in college football history to a national championship anyway.
Fernando Mendoza was a 2-star recruit from Miami.

He tried to walk on at his hometown school. They passed.
So did FIU.
So did FAU.
So did everyone else.

At 17, he was sitting in his bedroom, crying over a silent recruiting inbox—after driving to 18 camps with his dad and sending highlights to more than 100 programs.
Not one FBS offer.
His only option? Yale. No scholarship. No NFL path.

Everyone told him to be “realistic.”
“Know your place.”
“Be grateful.”
He didn’t listen.
Because Mendoza understood something most people miss:
The worst outcome isn’t failing.
It’s never getting the chance to try.

Two weeks before signing day in 2022, his phone rang.
Cal needed a body. One offer. Out of 134 schools.
He took it.
He arrived as the third-string quarterback.
Spent a year on the scout team.
Lost his first four starts.
Got sacked 41 times behind a broken offensive line.

Still got up. Every time.
Then Cal brought in a transfer instead of building around him.
So Mendoza left the only school that had ever said yes.
He transferred to Indiana—the losingest program in college football history.

People laughed.
“Career suicide.”
“Graveyard program.”
“Nobody wins there.”
One coach told him something different:
“I’m going to make you the best Fernando Mendoza possible.”
That was enough.
Mendoza wasn’t just playing for football.
His mother has battled multiple sclerosis for 18 years.

Before every snap, he thought of her.
“My mother is my why.”
Indiana went 16–0.
Beat six Top-10 teams.
Won their first Big Ten title since 1945.
Mendoza threw 41 touchdowns.
Won the Heisman—first in school history.
First Cuban-American to ever do it.

Then came the title game.
Miami. Near his hometown.
Fourth-and-4. Season on the line.
Quarterback draw.
The kid 134 schools rejected spun through defenders and dove into the end zone.

Game over.
Indiana—national champions.
The losingest program became the best team in America.
All because a 17-year-old refused to believe “no” was the end.

Rankings don’t decide your ceiling.
Gatekeepers don’t write your ending.
Being overlooked isn’t a verdict—it’s a starting point.

Sometimes all you need is one shot…
and the courage to bet on yourself when nobody else will.
Don’t quit.

Longhorn fans, please lift up Jordan Shipley and his family. Jordan is currently in surgery after being involved in an accident on his ranch earlier today. He received third-degree burns on over 20-percent of his body. Jordan's dad, Bob, asks for everyone's prayers. He is currently in stable but serious condition. #HookEm

Please join us in praying for those in the path of Hurricane Melissa, especially our friends in Jamaica, who are experiencing the direct impact of the Category 5 storm right now. ❤️🙏

Hurricane Melissa is expected to be the strongest hurricane on record to directly hit the Caribbean nation. As the storm approaches landfall, Mercy Chefs is on standby, monitoring the storm and preparing teams to respond. Now is the time to pray.

I listened to Erika Kirk’s full speech at the memorial, and I want to share a few thoughts that came to me while live streaming the event. This is not political.

First, I should say that I grew up as a Muslim in a Muslim country. I don’t know enough about Christianity to say if what I witnessed is rooted in faith or culture. But what struck me most was how, even though death is heavy and this was by nature a sad occasion, the entire event carried a celebratory spirit that honored life.

That contrast hit me deeply. In Islam, even though we believe that good people go to heaven, the relationship with God is taught through fear. Funerals are overwhelmingly sad, often filled with warnings of the terrifying first night in the grave. Growing up hearing that, and then witnessing people celebrate life, speak of God’s love, and remember someone through the impact he had on others; it felt so refreshing, so positive.

Second, I was profoundly moved by @MrsErikaKirk’s words. I cannot fathom the strength it takes to stand and deliver such a meaningful speech after losing the love of your life. But even more than that, the grace it takes to forgive the very person who destroyed your world. I cannot imagine myself standing on a stage, sending love to those who cheered your husband’s murder, or inviting others to spread God’s love in response because, as she said, “we do not respond to hate with hate.” That is powerful beyond words.

Again, I am ignorant when it comes to Christianity, but if this is what it truly embodies, then I am envious of those who get to experience that feeling.
