Description: Pastor Colby Maier of Bloom Church in Portland, Oregon opens up about the devastating injury that sidelined his dreams of a professional basketball career – and the painful season of depression, anxiety, and uncertainty that followed. Forced to confront deeper questions about his purpose and identity, he shares how God redeemed his story and called him to pastor in one of the most spiritually desolate cities in America. Colby’s story is a powerful reminder that even our greatest disappointments can become the very soil God uses to grow our calling.
