This week we have a a special Guest on the Back Pew, Mr. Emeka Nnaka. Emeka is loved in the Tulsa community and becoming more widely known & loved around the country after his 2 guest appearances on the Ellen Show this year.
He is a Christian and Motivational Speaker & has quite the story. He being orininally from Georgia, with his parents from Nigeria, moved to Tulsa to attend ORU. Soon after he became a pro athlete playing football. Emeka Nnaka’s life changed in an instant when making a tackle as a defensive end for the Oklahoma Thunder semi-professional football team. The 21-year-old Oral Roberts University student was playing for the team in a game at Fayetteville, Ark., when he sustained a spinal cord injury.
“I just laid there, not able to move,” Emeka recalled. “I felt a tingling sensation throughout my body, kind of like when you hit your funny bone. I tried so hard to give the ‘thumbs up’ sign on the way out of the stadium, but I just couldn’t do it.
When he woke up, he couldn’t move anything from the chest down. But after several months of intensive physical therapy back in Tulsa, he slowly regained use of his arms, began to move his neck and learned to feed himself.
We get into that story, how it happened, what life was like right after and life now. He drops some great encouragement along the way and we bump into others missions, evangelism, and organized religion, what do you do when you feel lost and don't know what to expect for your life going forward. You will enjoy this conversation without a doubt. Watch or Listen until the end. It just gets better and better but without the beginning, you will not have the context you need.

The Back Pew Podcast
On the Back Pew, we relate Everyday Life to Christ and talk Modern Day Beliefs and Keeping Biblical Standards.
The church is a vital part of our faith but let's be real, everyone isn't attending Sunday Service. Much of what people talk about in everyday life isn't being spoken about by our leaders today so we dare to dive deep into those topics holding nothing back.
Join us on the Back Pew Today! We're just 2 regular guys, who love God, love to laugh & willing to open up & go deep spiritually but keep it real and have fun at the same time! Find us on YouTube!
