In this powerful episode, hosts Janine Igliane and Ryan Hatcher sit down with Jay and Rebecca Feely, a couple whose journey spans professional sports, family, missions, and now politics. From meeting in church and quickly building a life together to navigating the highs and lows of a 14 year NFL career, Jay and Rebecca share the story of a marriage and family grounded in faith and perseverance.
Jay reflects on his path from college football to becoming a veteran NFL kicker, the lessons he learned on and off the field, and how his faith guided him throughout his career. Rebecca shares the reality of raising a family through more than 15 moves, balancing motherhood with life in the public eye, and holding on to faith during seasons of uncertainty.
They also share the life changing experiences of their mission trips to Haiti, the call to sponsor and eventually adopt a young man into their family, and why answering God’s call has always been their compass. Today that same faith is guiding them into the next chapter of public service as Jay Feely announces his run for the United States House of Representatives.
Through every season Jay and Rebecca testify to the importance of resilience, family values, and living with purpose. Their story is one of perseverance, calling, and hope and it will encourage anyone seeking to live with faith in action.
Whether you are passionate about sports, parenting, adoption, missions, or faith in public life, this episode is full of perspective, inspiration, and encouragement.
