From Doubt to Devotion: My Journey Back to Christ
What a Champion Boxer Learned About Following Jesus Christ
President Rogers has won Golden Glove championships, climbed Kilimanjaro, built a successful wealth management firm, visited all seven continents, and raised five children who all served missions. But ask him what the most important fight of his life is, and the answer has nothing to do with the ring.
It has everything to do with Jesus Christ.
In this episode of Media Podcast, Elder Avalos sits down with President Rogers, a mission leader serving in the Idaho Falls Idaho Mission of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, to hear how decades of discipline, adventure, and devotion shaped a man who now leads young missionaries to find the Savior.
Showing Up Is Half the Fight
President Rogers started boxing in 10th grade after years of standing up for kids being bullied on the school yard. He was not just a natural talent. He was a prepared one. His approach was simple: he could not control whether an opponent was more gifted, but he could control whether he was in better shape. That commitment took him to two Golden Glove championships and a world title at age 40.
One early lesson stuck with him for life. He won a tournament as a teenager, not by out-punching his opponent, but because his opponent never showed up. His takeaway was direct: showing up is half the fight. Whatever you are trying to do, being present and prepared gets you further than talent alone.
He carried that same mindset into his faith. President Rogers sees three kinds of church members, just like he saw three kinds of boxers. Some show up but coast at home. Some are excited at church but do nothing after. And then there is the one who shows up prepared, reads scriptures, attends the temple, and invites the Spirit daily. That person, he says, is the champion.
