Rufus Ferguson II joins the show as we talk about his trip to see the Wisconsin Badgers and his game. I talk about why I like his film so much and whats next in his recruitment. We discuss his knowledge of the game and talk with his father Dr. Rhadi Ferguson about raising children and about his father -- the great Rufus 'The Roadrunner' Ferguson.We discuss Rufus' game, and why his football IQ, leadership and athletic ability are separators for his game. We talk about his background and why he's grateful for the the lessons his father and family have imparted. We talk about the best linebackers in football and why size is often an overrated and overtalked about aspect with recruiting.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Jordan Duckens

For Jordan and Rufus, knew they wanted to spend the first year of their marriage focused on just the two of them. And by year two, they were ready to expand their family, but as time moved throughout that year and they were still not pregnant, they began getting a bit concerned that maybe something was wrong. After a visit with their doctor and receiving the news that nothing seemed to be wrong, Jordan made a call to her mother-in-law, who had had a similar experience. She was able to express her concerns and fears. Her mother-in-law holding space for her at that moment, reassuring her that she would get pregnant when it needed to happen, and the following month that assurance came to fruition.And as they were riding the wave of joy, they would soon find themselves shifting to grief. Jordan was very close to her grandmother and was heartbroken with her passing a week after discovering they were pregnant. Jordan felt her close - the intuition that she was going to have a daughter, which they found out about on the day of her other grandmother's birthday, March 13th. Their presence deep throughout her entire journey.Two days after her estimated due date, Jordan started feeling contractions and immediately about five minutes apart. Wanting to labor at home as long as possible, she found relief in the tub. And as things intensified, Rufus encouraged her that it may be time for them to head to the hospital. When she arrived, she found out that she was four centimeters dilated. Rufus and Jordan felt very supported in the hospital, and when labor slowed down at nine and a half centimeters, her birth team encouraged many positional changes to help her daughter make her way. And after 15 minutes of pushing, she arrived earthside, with Rufus catching the perfect photo and her extended family watching via Facetime.Rufus expressed that one area he wasn't prepared for was the transition of postpartum, which was made more challenging with the restrictions of COVID. They couldn't fully tap into their community; being in sync with each other throughout it all continues to help them find and share in the joyful moments.Resources:Holy Labor | scriptural exploration of common conceptions about pregnancy and childbirth
