How God Removes the Idols in Our Lives — guest: Cliff Barna



How does God remove the idols from our lives? For Cliff Barna, a former college standout and professional arena football player, football was his idol. In his fencepost story, Cliff tells how God miraculously removed the idol of football from his life.

Raised in Ocala, Florida, Cliff was a standout football player at Tennessee's Bethel University and ultimately was inducted into the Athletics Hall of Fame there. Cliff went on to play professional arena football, earn a Master’s in Education at Bethel, and serve as an assistant football coach there. After serving as the Senior Pastor at Tusculum Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Nashville, Tennessee, Cliff took his current position teaching economics and coaching football and wrestling at Liberty Creek High School in Nashville. You can connect with Cliff on LinkedIn or Twitter.
