In this inspiring What’s Your Story episode of The Way We See It, Alex reconnects with longtime friend and teammate Rodney “Rocket” Burns, whose journey stretches from chasing Big Ten football dreams to finding purpose through faith, family, and calling. Rodney shares about growing up in poverty, his time playing football and singing with the group Uptown at Evangel University, and how God redirected his life toward both a successful career in engineering and more than 25 years of ministry as a volunteer youth pastor. He opens up about walking through his son’s Type 1 diabetes diagnosis, how it shifted his career toward purpose-driven healthcare work, and the life lessons that continue to shape him today. With humility and wisdom, Rodney encourages the next generation to stay disciplined, cut out the noise, and commit fully to the plan God has for their lives.
