Before becoming the quarterback of the Denver Broncos, Bo Nix experienced the highs and lows of college football—from fulfilling his childhood dream at Auburn to finding a fresh start at Oregon.

In this CBN Sports One-on-One interview, Nix opens up about the pressure and adversity he faced, why he trusted God’s direction when his original plans fell apart, and how his relationship with Jesus shaped the man and leader he became.

Bo also discusses growing up in a Christian home, learning to make his faith personal, living differently as a highly recruited athlete, and using football as a platform to point others toward Christ. He explains the true meaning of Philippians 4:13 and shares an encouraging reminder for anyone who has been knocked down or seen a dream take an unexpected turn.

Through every victory, disappointment and transition, Bo’s mission remains clear: keep the main thing the main thing and shine the light of Jesus wherever God places him.
