Episode 16 | Denver Broncos Dalton Risner RISE UP This week my guest, Dalton Risner joins us to talk about his journey to the NFL and the Denver Broncos, about making a Positive Impact through the sharing God's Word.

Raised in the small town of Wiggins, Colorado, his work on the family farm and involvement in the lives of friends and neighbors, molded Dalton into who he is today. Even as a highly decorated collegiate player for the Kansas State Wildcats, Dalton was perhaps better known for his work off the field, through Special Olympics, the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program, Camp Hope, and his own volunteerism with area schools and hospitals. Dalton believes life is measured by the joy you bring to others – not your own individual accomplishments. That’s why he started RisnerUp. www.risnerup.com /episode/index/show/wisdomandwilderness/id/14168072
