Wake Up Calls with Hunter Bryant
Thursday, January 8th, 2026 |Â 7am - 8:15am
Bellevue, WA
Join us on January 8 at 7am in the SAMBICA Dining Hall for a big breakfast and an even bigger story. Our guest speaker, Hunter Bryant—Husky Football Chaplain—will walk us through the wake up calls God used to rescue and redirect his life. From subtle nudges to a devastating car crash that ended his NFL career, Hunter’s testimony shows how God uses every moment, big or small, to get our attention. His hope for every man in the room is simple: you don’t have to hit rock bottom to find the right path. Real, lasting course correction begins with following Jesus.
