It's $38 a month, tax deductible, and an opportunity for you and I to help release a child

from poverty.

I mean, what a great, what a great honor to really consider even doing this.

And my wife and I and my daughter, we sponsor a child from Haiti, a teenager, and it's

$38, and we don't even blink at it.

We know it's the best $38 we spend every month because it helps release a child from poverty.

It gives them food, education, medical care, vocational training, and

that one thing that every child deserves, and that's hope. Check out the website,

Compassion.com slash sports spectrum, pray about it and consider releasing a child from poverty

today. Today on the podcast, we welcome MMA fighter Garrett Gross.

And Garrett is not the household name that some MMA and UFC fans might know about,

but if you follow him on Instagram and he's got over 8,000 followers there,

you know the very first thing that he's put on his Instagram page is Jesus

follower. And he's been a part of Bellator. He's been a part of the UFC Contender Series

from last July. And his nickname is Glory to God. It's a pretty good nickname, I think. So I think

you guys will really like getting to know Garrett.

This is a guy who's in many ways trying to figure out if fighting and mixed martial arts is something that he even wants to continue to do.
