In this powerful and emotional episode of the God Is Speaking podcast, host Joe sits down with Dan Meers — the man behind the iconic KC Wolf mascot for 35 years — for a raw, heartfelt conversation about faith, loss, purpose, and what it truly means to be a godly man.
Dan shares his incredible journey from college mascot at the University of Missouri (Truman the Tiger) to Fred Bird for the St. Louis Cardinals and ultimately becoming the beloved KC Wolf for the Kansas City Chiefs. He reveals how a Fellowship of Christian Athletes camp in 1985 transformed his life and ignited a faith that has carried him through some of life's darkest valleys.
