Faith Over Football with Mizzou Head Football Coach Eliah Drinkwitz
It’s finally football season! We’re kicking it off by sitting down with Mizzou head football coach, Eliah Drinkwitz. (M-I-Z, anyone?) Keith and Coach Drinkwitz start by tackling some deep questions about his success, whether or not he believes it’s the product of hard work or luck, and how he’s able to stay humble. He shares his story: how he grew up in a Christian home, how he got into coaching, and how he makes time for his family as a husband and a girl dad of four. Then, he gets into some sports-related topics: Has NIL ruined college football for fans? What are his thoughts on sports betting? And based on his players, would he agree with current statistics that many men are falling behind? Plus, where does he find it the most challenging to keep his Christian convictions?

She shares why she gave up on the Republican party and the hardships that she and her family endured for being “never Trumpers.” She answers how she believes evangelicals should vote this election season.
