CBU Alumni EQUI PPED TO SE RVE
STEPPING STONES TO PLANTING A CHURCH
Jay Stovall (‘10, ‘12) was recruited to play basketball for California Baptist University, but two weeks prior to the start of the season, he injured himself and was put on a medical redshirt. That same summer, his best friend passed away.
“I had all of these questions for God,” Stovall said. “Through wrestling with God and lots of hardship, I was finally met with a moment where God was saying, ‘Either you’re going to follow me and have faith, or you’re just going to keep going down a path ending in lack of identity, frustration and depression.’ I really took a step of faith.” Stovall opted to terminate his basketball scholarship, stopped playing basketball and shifted his focus to his education.
