Chris Norman is from Detroit, Michigan. He was a Defensive Linebacker for the Michigan State University Spartans Football team from 2009-2012. Chris Norman is a Grace Sight because his faith commitment to Christ was so genuine that after college he gave up a promising career in the NFL to enter Seminary to prepare for the ministry.
Chris Norman was a 4 year letterman in Michigan State Football. He was injured in the 2011 Capital One Bowl against Alabama and the injury led him to reexamine his spiritual life. On May 24, 2011, Chris Norman gave his life over to Jesus Christ (Source). In this a video of Chris Norman's testimony made by Desiring God, Chris Norman reveals how God has provided for his needs after he made the decision to go to seminary instead of the NFL.

Chris Norman has interwoven Matthew 13:44 into his testimony when speaking about his faith :
In the Gospel there's a story about somebody that stumbles across a field and then they found a treasure hidden in that field. As a result of finding that treasure, they sold everything they had so they can buy that field. That's pretty much what happened to me when I found Christ. So once I met him and fell absolutely in love with him, everything else was not as attractive in comparison (Source).As a Christian, I look forward to hearing what Chris Norman does in his ministry in the future. His ministry will be much more important than any play he could have made on the football field.
