Shooting Hoops

This is one of THE MOST inspiring stories I’ve heard in a LONG time. Austin Gutwein launched Hoops of Hope, a non profit that raises awareness and funds by challenging kids all over the world to shoot free throws and raise money for kids in Africa. We saw him and heard his story at the Catalyst Conference a few weeks back in Atlanta.

I don’t cry much, but this did it to me. I hope and pray that I can make an impact like this someday and that I can be a good enough dad that Couper grows up understanding that life isn’t about us…just like Austin.

Watch the two videos below when you get a few minutes. POWERFUL.
