Kyle Juszczyk graduated from Harvard, not known as a
powerhouse football factory. He plays fullback, one of the least-appreciated
and underutilized positions in the National Football League.
And yet he makes more than $5 million a year playing for the San Francisco 49ers, a team which is competing this Sunday for a spot in the Super Bowl. And, according to the Wall Street Journal, he’s one of the most important players on the field.
Juszczyk (pronounced YOOZ-check) is unusually athletic. He
can block for the ball carrier, protect the quarterback from blitzing
defenders, catch passes, and disrupt the game on special teams. His Harvard
coach says he has “transformed fullbacks.” A teammate says, “I
don’t see anybody who does it like he does it.”
Kyle Juszczyk proves the adage of Heraclitus, the ancient
Greek philosopher: You cannot step into the same river twice. An unchanging
fact about the culture is that the culture is constantly changing. Adapting
successfully is an important key to success.

It’s been said that “the only person who likes change
is a wet baby.” Leaders know that everyone likes change until it happens.
Rather than resisting change, however, Christians can be
catalysts for growth. Harry Emerson Fosdick noted, “Christians are
supposed not merely to endure change, nor even to profit by it, but to cause
it.”
Jesus was the greatest change agent in history, initiating a
movement that grew from twelve to more than two billion. As a result, it was
said of the first believers that they “turned the world upside down”
(Acts 17:6).
What skills, resources, and influence has God uniquely
entrusted to you? What changes in our culture does he want to use you to
create?
What is one way the world could be better today because of
you?
