January 10, 1995 was a day that changed Guy’s life forever. For 27 years he grew up in a very religious home. Religion was a very big part of his family’s life, but it was no more than that, just a religious experience. 

After experiencing his parent’s divorce at age 13, Guy was forced to make one of the toughest decisions of his early life; choosing who he would live with. He would ultimately decide to live with his father and spent the next 4 years living with his dad and attending church in Kansas. All this time he held on to the mindset that if he simply went to church he was good with God.

After college Guy was fortunate enough to sign a contract to play professional football for the Washington Football Club (formerly Redskins).  This is where his life took a dramatic turn. His background in church reminded him of the importance of being in a Bible study or a church. During his rookie year with the Redskins he often attended a Tuesday night Bible study. It was at one of those Bible studies a man by the name of Daryle Green asked Guy perhaps the greatest questions of his life. Mr. Green asked him if he was born again? Guy answered,  "Yes, I go to church." Greene replied, "I didn’t ask if you went to church, I asked are you born again." That one question sat on Guy's mind several months after the season.

 

Later while visiting his dad in Kansas, a church he once attended asked for him to come and speak. And it was on that Friday night, January 10, 1995 in front of 300 people, his life would be forever changed!  

"It was a normal Friday night with one exception, I was going to speak at the church for 15 minutes, and then go out with my friends on the town. These were the same men I would go out with often when I was home for a few weeks. I asked the fellas to wait for me in the parking lot but they did not, they came in. They stood in the back of the church while I shared this side of me that they had no clue existed. As I shared I often found myself looking at them thinking is this real, am I real, is God even real. With those thoughts I hurried through my testimony all the while thinking I am not fooling God. I met my friends out in the parking lot and told them I was not going out tonight. I got in my car and drove to the house I was staying at. I walked into the bedroom and begin to talk to God for the first time in my life as if I knew what was up, and I did. I knew I needed to come clean of my sin and ask for forgiveness. For the first time in my life I was honest with myself recognizing my sin and seeking Christ for forgiveness. January 10,1995 was that night, the night I accepted the gift God offered me, when I asked Jesus to be my Lord and Savior."  -Guy
