Travis Hearn first started working with the Suns in 2002, and has worked with other athetes along the way.
Pastor Travis Hearn explains to The Republic about his role spiritually guiding the Phoenix Suns and Arizona Cardinals in their chapel services.Pro athletes and their head coaches endure a lot of stress. They also can have a spiritual connection to their game and life away from it.
“When you’re in a sweet spot of doing what you’re built to do, that’s where you find so much joy and so much life. For me, ministry is about helping people. It’s about helping the hurting, and hurting all around us.” Williams said he met Hearn 20 years ago before he retired as an NBA player. Their spiritual bond grew stronger when Williams was hired as the Suns' head coach in May 2019.
Williams added that the Suns players who frequently attend such as Cam Johnson, Mikal Bridges, Damion Lee, and Bismack Biyombo, connect with Hearn because he “shoots it straight” and challenges them. Hearn started his path into sports ministries for the Kansas City Royals’ chapels during their spring training in Surprise when he lived in the West Valley during his early 20s. Then was asked to fill in for the Suns' chapels soon after in 2002. In 2010, he began to work at the Oakland Athletics’ chapels when their spring training operations were located near the Phoenix Zoo.
