Deep Blue: Ephraim Asiata

Ephraim Asiata wants to follow in his father's footsteps and play in the NFL, but a shooting not only took that away from him it left him fighting for his life. Despite an extended hospital stay and many surguries, Ephraim's desire to play football helped pull him through. This is Deep Blue featuring Ephraim Asiata.

Holy cow. These are all great but this was special. It's amazing to see not just how he got through his tragedy but was able to keep his faith (and have his faith keep him) through it all. Super inspirational - huge thanks to the team who produces these and to Ephraim and his family for sharing their story!
