Adnan Hodzić, former Lipscomb basketball star, graduated last May and went on to extend his basketball career in Germany. He returned to his alma mater to give his spiritual testimonial about how exactly Jesus Christ changed his life forever. After the testimonial, Lumination Network sat down with Hodzić who has changed so much in seven short months, not just physically but spiritually.
“I learned this year to really lean on the Lord,” Hodzic told LipscombSports.com. “He blessed me. I’m a firm believer in Christ. I see him working in my life. I give all the glory to him, man, because he’s helped me and without him I don’t know where I would be now going through all the struggles that I did at the beginning of the season.”
When asked about his plans for the future, Hodzic offered only one specific goal.
“My goal is to just keep following the path that God wants me to be on,” Hodzic said. “I don’t really think much outside of that because when you start looking at that kind of stuff it can add stress to you. … For me, I’m just looking at this season playing as hard as I can and then the offers will come next season.”
“And where God takes me, he takes me,” Hodzic continued. “I figured that that way is the most stress-free, most enjoyable way to play the game instead of thinking, ‘I gotta put on a performance. I gotta take my team to the playoffs, so I can try to play in the Spanish ACB league or something.’ I try hard not to think about that. I have faith that the Lord Jesus will take me where he wants me.”
