These are good times for fans of the Oklahoma Sooners.
OU is atop the rankings in the first Bowl Championship Series standings and, at least at the moment, undefeated and on track to make a run at a national championship.
At the helm is quarterback Landry Jones who very well may have a NFL contract in his future.
Nonetheless, Jones is enthusiastic about his Christian faith and has expressed the desire to enter the ministry at some point in his life.
Chris Bennett is the pastor at Antioch Community Church in Norman where Jones and girlfriend Whitney Hand attend. Bennett meets with Jones almost every week.
“I tell Landry, ‘I absolutely can see you leading your own church or being a pastor. That may be five or 10 years from now. He may let you go to the NFL and have a great career,’” Bennett said. “I try to remind Landry he’s a pastor right now on that team.
“What Landry is realizing is being a preacher is not about preaching. That’s an aspect of it but it’s about loving people… I tell him, ‘You may not have your own church, but God is giving you your own little church in a sense sharing the Bible with some of your teammates.’”
