Danny Abramowicz - Support A Catholic Speaker Month

I previously posted about "Support A Catholic Speaker Month" which Fallible Blogma is sponsoring.

The main post is here: "Support a Catholic Speaker - List"

The person I chose is Danny Abramowicz. The best way to find out about him is to head over to his site hosted by EWTN called, "Crossing the Goal."

Danny is a former NFL player, who spent a major part of his career with the New Orleans Saints. He now is a Catholic Speaker and advocate of the faith, and hosts a show on EWTN called "Crossing the Goal." The show is formatted similar to a sports talkshow, and therefore is familiar to men which is the shows target audience.

From the "Crossing the Goal" website:

Danny Abramowicz, former NFL all-pro wide receiver and coach, along with his other team members, has created a television show with EWTN Global Catholic Network called, “Crossing the Goal” which uses a sports show format to encourage men to get into spiritual shape.

Coach Abramowicz says, “He and his team consisting of Peter Herbeck, Vice President, Renewal Ministries; Curtis Martin, Founder of Fellowship of Catholic University Students (FOCUS); and professional broadcaster, Brian Patrick—provide real solutions to the spiritual challenges men face."

Segments include “The Kickoff” where the problem of the day is quickly presented; “The Game Plan,” where two team members lay out the facts men need to know; “The Red Zone,” where the team talks about how they’ve dealt with the problem in their own lives, and the “End Zone,” where each team member gives the audience a take-away for the week.

He also published a book called, "Spiritual Workout of a Former Saint."  If you click on the title it takes you to the Amazon.com page where you can purchase it if you'd like.

I chose Mr. Abramowicz, as the speaker I would like to highlight because I am a big sports fan. I hadn't heard of him, but his bio really impressed me. You see, he was drafted in the last round of the NFL draft in 1967 and then two years later was leagues leading receiver. He went on to coach later in his career, and eventually began ministry work. I am always impressed with folks that use their "positions" or "stations" in life for the greater glory of God.
