Super Bowl 2014 Life On and Off the Field with Coach Rocky Seto

Pastor Mark Driscoll sat down with several of the Seattle Seahawks players in January and asked them about how knowing Jesus Christ has affected their life – both on and off the field. Defensive Coach Rocky Seto, free safety Chris Maragos, and long snapper Clint Gresham had much to say about the impact that becoming a follower of Jesus has made on their lives.

Seahawks Defensive Coordinator Rocky Seto became a believer when some of his teammates at the University of Southern California (USC) shared the Gospel with him as a senior. After graduating, Seto became a part of the coaching staff at USC. He was given the opportunity to coach with Pete Carroll – who was also head coach at USC while Seto was on staff – for the Seattle Seahawks in 2010.

Coach Seto sees great Kingdom potential in building strong relationships with players, and has had the opportunity to share Christ with many of them. He encourages Christians in the workplace to do the same – “Be awesome at what you’re doing, help the people around you be as awesome as they can be, and when you get the opportunity, share the Gospel. Be very clear about it,” he says.

Mark Driscoll asked Seto to define the Gospel, and Seto did so without hesitation – “Jesus saves. We all need Jesus – without Jesus, we are damned,” he says, stating that it is essential for people to understand their dire need for the Lord. “Jesus is everything … Jesus owns me, Jesus died for me – Jesus paid the debt that I couldn’t pay which is eternal death, and then ultimately He gives me everything I need … He’s the best King that I could ever hope to be under,” he says.
