In Episode 4 of the Cultivus Podcast, sponsored by Spin-A-Round Sound DJ Services and Media, we’re joined by Dr. Deverin Muff—a professor at Eastern Kentucky University, speaker, writer, creator of the Next Play Project, and most importantly, a Christ-follower, husband, and dad. Dr. Muff shares his journey of faith, from navigating life as a Division 1 college athlete to discovering his identity in Christ after the "death of an identity" post-basketball. Through personal stories of loss, perseverance, and growth, Dr. Muff reveals how God has used every step of his life to cultivate purpose, resilience, and service to others.
