From Resistance to Redemption: When Surrender Changes Everything
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What happens when someone who once wanted nothing to do with God completely surrenders their life to Him?
In this episode of The FCA Locker Room, we sit down with Rich Wright — pastor, longtime FCA volunteer, and a man whose life is a powerful testimony of transformation. From building a career in business to actively resisting faith, Rich shares what his life looked like before Christ, what began to shift in his heart, and the moment everything changed.
Today, Rich is living out his faith through service — planting a church in his hometown, mentoring athletes as a character coach at Marist, serving as a team chaplain, and investing in the lives of others through FCA and beyond.
This conversation is a reminder that no one is too far gone, and that God can take any story and turn it into something meaningful and impactful.
If you’ve ever felt resistant to faith, uncertain about your purpose, or wondering if God can really use your life — this episode is for you.
