Trusting in the Lord might not come easy to everyone, but those who develop that faith are promised, “He shall direct thy paths” (Proverbs 3:5-6). For husband-and-wife team Porter and Carlie Ellett, much of their journey of trust has played out on the field of the biggest sport in the United States. In this episode of the Church News podcast, the Elletts join Church News editor Ryan Jensen to share their story of faith, family and the unique experience of working in the environment of the National Football League with the Kansas City Chiefs as an assistant coach. Porter Ellett talks about overcoming a childhood accident that resulted in an amputation years later as a teenager. He and Carlie Ellett share how communication and faithfully living the gospel of Jesus Christ have helped them develop trust and resilience with God and in family life.
