Behind the helmet, behind the highlights, behind the strength, Alphonso Smith Jr. was fighting a battle too many of us could not see. In a reflection that will move your heart, GospelRhythms remembers the man beyond the NFL headlines—and the sacred truth that even the strong need someone to notice, because the Lord stays near to the brokenhearted. This is for the fighter, the griever, and the friend who wants to help. Read it. Share it. Then check on the people you love.
