After I played for the Indianapolis Colts from 1993 to 1997, my family moved to Charlotte, North Carolina, when I joined the Carolina Panthers. Now that I was in a new city, I needed to find a new barber. A few of my teammates told me about Gordon's barbershop.
The Black barbershop is a cultural experience where philosophers and poets pontificate on sports, religion, politics, and just about everything else. It's a weekly event you await with expectation. I met Gordon, a big, loud, boisterous man, and as soon as I saw him, I knew God had given me the assignment of reaching him with the gospel.
