Bryce interviews former NFL linebacker Vincent Rey, who spent his entire career from 2010-2018 with the Cincinnati Bengals after going undrafted out of Duke. He is now the Bengals' team chaplain and on staff with Athletes in Action. He’s a husband and a father of four.


In this conversation, Vincent discusses how he came to faith, finding identity outside of being a professional football player, the call to be a disciple and disciple-maker, and his journey to becoming an NFL chaplain.
