I thought surrendering was a weakness; instead it's the strongest thing a man or a woman can ever do, to acknowledge our Creator who's in control of all things.

I used to be known as one of the strongest guys on the planet.

One of the things I do is try to get a positive message out there in the local schools and tell my story. I also do a lot of faith-based speaking, sharing my story and testimony, to help show what God has done in my life and what he can do in others' lives.

No matter what we face, put your total faith in God, and in time - not our time, but His time - He'll bring us through.

I grew up in Buffalo, New York, and was a big Bills fan.

I just want people to know out there no matter what they've done, God doesn't judge us on how many sins.
