    College Thrower Lays Life Down for Jesus | Alexander Hernandez | Ep. 23

    Alex's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/xanderthrows60/ Intro Song: "Lift You Higher" by Kai Uriah Outro Song: "Lifter Of My Head" by Dell Mac Summary Lukewarm faith looks harmless until it quietly takes over your life. Alexander Hernandez shares the wake-up call that pulled him out of partying, sexual sin, and track-obsessed self-reliance into a real, daily walk with Jesus. Raised in a Christian home and educated in Christian school his entire life, Alex still drifted into a college lifestyle that felt normal on the surface but left him spiritually numb. When his track journey took him from Phoenix to Grand Rapids, Michigan, God used an unlikely chain of relationships, a Christian athlete community, and a hard conversation with a mentor to expose what Alex had been justifying for years. You’ll hear how Athletes InterVarsity, community, and accountability changed everything, and why the question is not just “Is this a sin?” but “Does this glorify God?” Alex also opens up about: - the moment he realized Jesus was being treated as Savior, but not Lord - how his relationship with his girlfriend changed when both of them chose Christ first - why he gave away a collection worth about $5,000 - the struggle to cut off social media, distraction, and other idols - how prayer became a daily practice instead of a routine This episode goes beyond testimony and gets real about conviction, surrender, and the cost of following Christ in a world that keeps offering easier distractions. If you’ve ever wondered whether being “around church” is the same as truly following Jesus, this conversation will hit home. Perfect for anyone wrestling with compromise, distraction, or a faith that feels more inherited than lived. Alex’s story is a reminder that Jesus does not just save, He satisfies.
