The Deliverance of a Wandering Jew After Forty Years in the Wilderness

As a Highland Park School Valedictorian and later as an honors graduate of Harvard College and then an honors graduate of Harvard Law School, he was always driven by a search for truth. Neither traditional Judaism nor the knowledge attained at law school brought Lance the answers he was looking for. His world began to fall apart. It was at that time that he attended a Passover Seder led by a Jewish follower of Jesus at the Moody Church. The message connecting the redemption of Israel with the redemption of the world opened Lance’s eyes to what real truth is and that it is revealed in the Jewish Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth.

In this presentation, Mr. Rodgers takes us through his exciting career as a business lawyer integrating faith and work and share the story of his deliverance as a wandering Jew after forty years in the wilderness.

My Journey of Football and Faith!

A 39-year veteran of collegiate and NFL coaching ranks, Dave Wannstedt joined FOX Sports as a college football analyst in 2014. He has now flourished in sports broadcasting at Fox Sports, BTN, NBC Sports Chicago, and WSCR radio in Chicago.

Wannstedt’s illustrious career in football was punctuated by adversity - through injury and sometimes a team’s poor performance. But he found great strength to face them because when he was around 35, a time when all things were going well – materialistically and relationship-wise, he began to feel a void in his heart, that life was not complete. As that void and unrest grew, he sought help from various sources, until finally, he committed his life to Jesus Christ. He now took his newfound commitment to Christ seriously, and in his own words, “I approached this thing just like I do football.” When adversity struck, he says, through “all the faith, all the effort, and all the time and the Bible studies . . . we were able to have an inner peace that can only be felt with a true relationship with the Lord.”

Dave and his wife Jan have two daughters, Keri and Jamie, and six grandchildren. Listen to their awe-inspiring life story . . . .
