I asked Ben Humrichous - a former NAIA player who just competed in the Final Four - if he has an appreciation for that unlikely journey.
I was moved by his answer.
"When the buzzer sounded all I wanted to say was praise God - for the gift that this was... By God's grace... It's unlikely... God's sovereign hand being that in that... He did so many incredible things... God's grace just supplied what I need."

“The resurrection is everything. That’s like the staple of Christianity… Without the resurrection, there is no Christian…”
“[Jesus] changed everything about me… The way I talk, the way I treat other people… I’m really here to serve others”

“Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.”
