SHAWN MEEK

In 2009, during the bird u epidemic, Coach Meeks was stuck in his dorm room. He was a freshman in college and had nished all his work from his professors. With nothing to do and tons of time, he started to read a lot in the quarantine. One of those books was the Bible, and at that moment everything clicked. What he read in the Bible ceased to just be stories written thousands of years ago and started to feel real. He started to devote himself to Christianity and work through these new feelings. He started to go to a Christian school called Southeastern University for Soccer since he didn’t really approve of his coach or his teammates at his former school. As he moved to the school he began to learn even more about the religion, and he even got baptized. He grew more appreciation for the religion, and he became even more devoted. It was a little awkward with his family though, less so with his mother. She grew up in a church setting, so she accepted this turn easily. His father has some bad experiences with religion, but he respected his son’s decision to make his own choices. Now, Coach Meeks believes in spreading the gospel and trying to give truth to people, but he doesn’t push beliefs on people. He leads by example and spreads love wherever he can.
