About this listen
In this episode, we sit down with Chris Avila, founder of G3 Experience and full-time chaplain to professional athletes. Chris shares his inspiring journey of faith, fatherhood, and forgiveness—starting from a broken home and the pain of an absent father to becoming a spiritual leader for athletes across the NFL, UFL, MLS, and beyond.
Chris opens up about how the loss of his mother, the absence of a father's blessing, and the cycles of generational brokenness led him to a pivotal encounter with Jesus. He talks about his struggle to forgive his father, the healing power of prayer, and how God's grace ultimately transformed their relationship. Today, Chris uses that same grace to minister to professional athletes, helping them navigate fame, fatherhood, and faith with integrity and purpose.
