NFL to Family Pastor, Dr. Octavius Bishop

Athleticism is not one of my natural talents. I think that’s why I admire anyone who not only chooses to live their life in a “sporty” way, but also when they make a living from that choice I am impressed! The discipline and confidence that goes into telling the world that you are an athlete is just admirable, because you do that without talking. And that I can do…talk.

Dr. Octavious Bishop can inspire the world by talking and through his athleticism. His story begins as a college football star at the University of Texas. He then played in the NFL for various teams, overseas, and in the XFL which is where he left the field to change lives. Not only did he continue to grow in his education, he began to change and develop into a human being that lived for others. Through his professional work as a counselor, professor, and pastor Dr. Bishop now inspires everyone around him, daily.
