Reporter: RYAN ROBERTS
IS PASSIONATE ABOUT HELPING
ATHLETES IMPROVE THEIR
FOOTBALL SKILLS.
HIS CLINES ARE QUARTERBACKS
THAT WANT TO GET TO THE NEXT
LEVEL.
WHEN I TRAIN A KID, I
SAY, WHAT ARE YOU DOINg OUT
HERE.
AND THEY SAY, I'M HERE TO
GET BETTER.
AND I SAY, YOU'RE NOT HERE
TO GET BETTER, YOU'RE OUT
HERE TO BE THE BEST.
Reporter: HIS SKILLS
EARNED HIM A SPOT AT BAIL
BAILOR UNIVERSITY.
AND INJURY SIDELINED HIM.
AND THEY ARE STILL FRIENDS
TODAY.
WHEN RYAN GRADUATED, HE
WONDERED WHAT HE WOULD DO
NEXT.- I WAS A CERTIFIED TEACHER
AND A COACH.
AT THAT TIME IT WAS HARD TO
GET A JOB.
AT THAT POINT, I WAS MAKING
$7 AN HOUR AT A YMCA, WITH A
MASTER'S DEGREE AND SWEEPING
FLOORS.
Reporter: RYAN MARRIED
BRITTANY, HIS HIGH SCHOOL
SWEETHEART.
AS A COUPLE, THEY TITHED.
BRITTANY WAS DOING WELL IN
HER JOB AS AN R.N., BUT RYAN
FELT Ho WASN'T DOING WELL.
AND THAT'S WHEN HE
REMEMBERED THE CONVERSATION
HE HAD WITH HIS MOM.
SHE SAID, HAVE YOU EVER
THOUGHT ABOUT COACHING.
PARENTS WOULD PAY YOU TO
TEACH THEIR SONS.
Reporter: AT FIRST HE
ONLY HAD A FEW CLIENTS.
THAT'S WHEN HE SAYS GOD
CHALLENGED HIM TO DO
SOMETHING RADICAL, TO GIVE
AWAY AN ENTIRE WEEK OF
QUARTERBACK LESSONS SO HE
WOULD HAVE A CHANCE TO SHARE
THE GOSPEL WITH HIS
CLIENTS.
THAT DECISION WOULD COST HIM
$2,000.
IT WAS A RISK ON MY END.
BUT MY MINDSET WASN'T
THERE.
I WAS, LIKE, I'M DOING THIS
FOR GOD.
Reporter: RYAN REPORTS
NEARLY EVERY KID AND EVEN A
COUPLE OF PARENTS PRAYED TO
BECOME A CHRISTIAN.
YOU CAN'T PUT INTO WORDS
WHAT THAT FELT LIKE FOR ME.
IT WAS BETTER THAN ANY
TOUCHDOWN I HAD EVER
THROWN.
Reporter: THEN
SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENED TO
WEEKEND THAT CONFIRMED WHAT
GOD HAD SPOKEN TO HIM.
AT THE END OF THE DAY, HIS
PHONE RANG.
I HAD A MESSAGE FROM
ANOTHER DAD, SAYING HIS
BUSINESS WAS ABOUT TO
EXPLODE.
Reporter: THE KELLER
ADMINISTRATION HAD SENT OUT
AN E-MAIL TO 20,000 PARENTS,
ADVERTISING RYAN.
I TRIED TO DO THAT FOR A
YEAR, BUT THEY WANTED A LOT
OF MONEY TO DO THAT.
AND FROM THAT POINT, MY
LESSONS TOOK OFF.
MY LESSONS ON SATURDAY, I'D
BE GOING STRAIGHT FROM 8:00
IN THE MORNING TO 8:00 AT
NIGHT.
THE NEXT YEAR, I BELIEVE I
HAD MY FIRST SUMMER CAMP,
WITH CLOSE TO 80 KIDS.
I HAD NEVER DONE THAT
BEFORE.
Reporter: AND HE EVEN
HELD ONE OF HIS TRAINING
CAMPS AT AT&T IN DALLAS.
I THINK YOU HAVE TO BE
OBEDIENT TO GOD'S WORD.
HE SAYS, YOU KNOW, GIVE, AND
IT WILL BE GIVEN BACK TO
YOU.
Reporter: OVER THE PAST
TWO YEARS, RYAN HAS SEEN HIS
INCOME MULTIPLY TO MORE THAN
10 TIMES WHAT IT ONCE WAS AT
THE YMCA.
HE BELIEVES HE HAS BEEN
BLESSED BECAUSE OF HIS
OBEDIeNT
HE REMEMBERS THE NIGHT HE
BECAME A CBN PARTNER.
WHEN GOD SPEAKS TO ME,
NOT AN AUDIBLE VOICE, COMING
AND SITTING ON MY COUCH, BUT
IN MY HEART, BUT HE WAS
ASKING ME TO GIVE.
BUT THAT'S WHY I DON'T
WAIT.
I IMMEDIATELY DO IT.
IF YOU WANT TO SEE GOD SHOW
UP IN A REAL, RADICAL WAY,
LIKE HE HAS IN MY LIFE, I
ENCOURAGE YOU TO GIVE.
I PROMISE YOU, IF YOU CAN
TRUST GOD WITH YOUR
FINANCES, YOU CAN TRUST HIM
IN ANY OTHER AREA OF YOUR
LIFE.
