Champions Podcast Episode 14 - Blake Koch, former Nascar Driver
September 15, 2020
In this episode Blake talks about:
- how he believed in God as a Kid, but wasnât discipled and didnât attend church regularly
- When Blake was 16 his dad had a great testimony and he started sharing it with Blake and that was huge for him. âWho knows where Iâd be now if it wasnât for my dad.â
- Dad was a big Hollywood producer. He had everything you could want. Big houses, cars, money. But he was just lost and wasnât happy. Then he changed. God got a hold of his heart and removed everything from his life. He went broke, lost his house, lost his cars, and surrendered and went on to a life of following Jesus. God needed to strip everything away from him to get his attention.
- Parents were divorced when he was 2. Lived mainly with mom. She was a single mother working 9-5 and barely getting by.Â
- On weekends when heâd be at dadâs he would get anything he wanted, but at momâs, she was happy to provide food.
- Even though his dad lost everything he knew God would provide and that has really worn off on Blake.
- From 20 years old on, any decision Blake had to make, he would call his dad and they would pray. Every race they would pray, before every practice, they would pray. Now as an entrepreneur, they pray prior to every meeting.
- COME TO JESUS AHA MOMENT - Going to college, starting to party a bit, starting to drink too much here and there, and was kind of distant from God. He admits he was trying to control his life. He was living with his girlfriend at the time. He woke up on a Sunday and was feeling a little rough and his girlfriend said they should go to church. He was working and making good money and was at church and the pastor talked about trying to live life on your own and how that's not something you want to do. When it came time to give he reached in his wallet and grabbed all the cash he had and put it in the offering. Still to this day doesnât know how much he gave but knows he was working money and wanted to surrender it to God. From that moment on he bought his own Bible, got into a small group, went to church regularly, and now is on fire from the Lord.
- He attended a Drivers Bible study on race day when he came into NASCAR, and was able to get plugged into a good group of guys who were on the same mission and loved the Lord.
- Grew up racing dirt bikes. Racing cars at 20. Drove a race car for the first time for fun and then decided he wanted to be a NASCAR driver cause it was fun.Â

- Got a job driving his friend Trevor Barnes motor home to NASCAR races. They were buddies, and he stayed with him, they were in the same bible study. Blake started spotting during the race.
- One of his other buddies Josh wise couldnât make it to a race and suggested they have Blake ride. He did it, did well, and then gets more opportunities and he hired again

Footsteps to Heaven â Why I believe that THE WARNING is true
September 14, 2020
Episode #81:Â Do you know how to read the signs of the times? In this episode, Terry Modica shares how God has worked in her life to convince her that Jesus is coming soon with a âWarningâ for non-believers and a Second Pentecost for the true followers of Christ. Her story begins in 2001 when the scandal of priests sexually molesting children first became public. At that time, Terry felt very strongly that God wants to purge the Church from all sorts of abuses. Since then, the world has become much darker and we are called by God to read the signs of the times as watchmen who have the responsibility of warning others, as commanded in Ezekiel 33:1-9.Â
Bill Snyder joins this episode because he wants the audiences of his podcast show, Young Catholics Respond, to listen to the previous episode of Footsteps to Heaven, which goes in-depth about âThe Warningâ (https://gnm.org/paracletia/the-warning-and-other-prophecies/).
