Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me, and know my anxieties;
And see if there is any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.

Parker's Bio

A Living Legacy

Parker A. Boswell was truly a living legacy.  A living word, sent by God, to do in 19 years what so many are unable to do in a lifetime.  He touched so many lives in a unique way, called to be great, but walked with humbleness beyond his years.  He had a deeply rooted desire to reflect God’s love that was seeded in his faith and the humanity of others.  Even with his athletic competitive spirit, whether basketball or football, there was always a knowing that there was something bigger than the moment in which he lived… knowing that the purpose in which he lived was for a greater level of service to the Lord. 

This was his calling.

 

As he turned the corner on manhood, God turned up his passion to live a purpose driven life while still giving him a new perspective of his role as an athlete.  It was his vision to share God's truth of knowing who you are determines what you do, whether on the basketball court, football field or in the league of life.  It was that vision that allowed Parker to embrace the “Aftermath” of his seasonal journey.  It was that vision that solidified what he had always known… His passion was for God and his purpose was to serve.

 

Pastoral Point Guard has been birthed from Parker’s passion and purpose.  A legacy that had its beginning established through how he lived.  It is the culmination of what Parker envisioned for athletes who are committed to training their heart as well as their body for something greater.  It is through this endeavor that Parker’s legacy will continue to live.

 

“Don’t confine yourself, when God has liberated you.”
