Water Cooler Politics w/ Chris Arps

In this powerful episode, Chris Arps sits down with Super Bowl champion and former NFL star Benjamin Watson for a wide-ranging conversation on football, faith, and the fight for life.

We start with Benjamin’s journey from being a first-round NFL draft pick to his thoughts on why Shedeur Sanders may have dropped to the fifth round in this year’s NFL Draft. Watson opens up about the lessons young athletes need to learn and the role character, media image, and off-field perception play in draft decisions.

But this conversation goes far beyond football. Watson speaks boldly about life after the league and how he’s using his platform as a pro-life, Christian, and outspoken Black conservative voice. We dig into the cultural challenges of standing for biblical values, how he navigates the tension in today’s political climate, and why he believes now more than ever men of faith must lead with courage and conviction.

Quotes:

• “Being pro-life isn’t political for me—it’s biblical.”
• “You can’t be afraid to stand alone if you’re standing for truth.”
• “We need men of faith to be visible, vocal, and unashamed.”
