Dale McCullers sits down with Saints In The South to discuss his faith, trials, and the joy in living the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Dale shares a little of his early life growing up, the foundation in Christ he was given by his mother and maternal grandparents, and his journey as a college football All American line backer at Florida State University in Tallahassee, FL. He set an NCAA single game record of 29 tackles and another one for 6 tackles for loss, both of which stand today.
He spent a short time in the NFL before landing an investigative career with NCIS. That's right, the same NCIS that the TV show is based on. He was a member of the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl V.
He met his sweetheart Nell, in 5th grade. They began dating in high school, attended FSU together, and were married during their senior year.
Nell went on to have a wonder career in education and social services. Both have served extensively in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints but that came after their conversion as young married adults. They faced strong opposition to their conversion but they both knew what they had felt as they investigated the church. Dale joined 1st, then Nell. They haven't looked back.
With all of the service they have given over the years, they have also had some challenging and trying times in their lives. They lost a son Ben, to a mysterious disappearance that is still unsolved today.
Dale discusses the heart wrenching heart ache he and Nell have faced through this but also recognizes that without The Lord, and without each other, they would not have gotten through it.
Dale shares what it takes to stray strong during challenging times. He also shares what having such a loss has allowed him to do in comforting others who have had major losses as well.
Finally, we discuss a book that Dale Co-Authored with John Crowe, a teammate from the late 60's FSU Seminole football team. FSU's Sons Of The Sixties - A Case For The Defense. The best part is that the proceeds go to a Scholarship fund in honor of a late teammate John Stevens who died on his first tour of duty in the Vietnam War. Let's help them provide a scholarship by purchasing the book. Here is an Amazon link.
