Shaka Bogan - Arkansas Razorbacks Track & Field
Shaka is a red-shirt Freshman hurdler here at the University of Arkansas. Throughout this season Shaka says that he and his teammates are not only pushing each other to new limits on the track, but they're constantly growing one another in their faith.
"When you get a few guys on the team living right, everyone follows."
Shaka reflects on the upperclassman leaders who have been great examples of what it looks like to live for the Lord. He called out Laquan Nairn, Roman Turner, Rhakyo Schwartz, and Nick Hilson has spiritual leaders to him and his teammates.
Although the men's track team huddle is a valuable time to focus, Shaka says that sometimes these faith based interactions "come out of nowhere." Spiritual growth is happening at practice, at meets, and on campus!
God has been teaching Shaka to trust Him more. When self-doubt shows up Shaka leans into the Lord and trusts that he's exactly where he's supposed to be and God has him there at exactly the right time.
