High school football coach Joe Kennedy has always been a fighter. He had no other choice.
Abandoned by his biological mother, Joe spent his childhood fighting through the cold realities of foster care and group-home life. At 18, he finally found a home for his warrior spirit: in the Marine Corps, where he served in the Gulf War. Following a distinguished career in the Corps, he returned home not realizing that his biggest battle was yet to come.
After retiring from the Marines, Joe felt led by God to help coach high school football—where he could pour into a generation of young men the love and guidance he so desperately sought at that age. Retired, happily married, building into kids as a strong role model … it all was finally coming together for Joe. Until he prayed.
Yep, Joe was fired. For praying. Silently. By himself. After the games.
