Welcome back to the 12 Eleven Podcast. I’m here today with Bob Lane, and I’m honored to give him the space to share his story—what it truly looks like to build your life on a firm foundation. From the example set by his parents and grandparents, to the mentors and coaches who shaped him into the athlete and the man he is today, Bob’s life reflects the impact of steady, faithful guidance.

He’s walked through the trials and triumphs of college football and the NFL, and now walks as a father who pours into his son, and as a husband who loves his wife as Christ loves the Church. When I look at Bob’s life, I see someone who has consistently walked with Jesus. And the fruit that’s come from that walk—it’s real, it’s beautiful, and it’s powerful.

He’s someone I truly look up to, and I believe you’ll be just as encouraged as I am by his story. Because following Jesus—it isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being obedient.

Man, what a powerful conversation. I pray that as you listen to Bob’s story, you are reminded that building your life on Jesus—the true firm foundation—is worth it. It doesn’t mean the road is easy, but it does mean you’re never walking it alone.

From his upbringing, to football, to family life—Bob has shown us what steady, faithful obedience looks like in every season. And that’s the encouragement today: you don’t have to have it all together. You just have to say “yes” to Jesus, every day.

Thank you for tuning in to the 12 Eleven Podcast. Until next time—keep walking, keep trusting, and keep standing firm.
