Barko Engelbrecht: From Performance to Purpose—Finding Identity in Jesus (Testimony) | EP#56 (Part 1)

In today’s episode of The Real Jesus Experience, we’re sitting down with Barko Engelbrecht—a man whose identity was built on the rugby field… until life forced him to ask who he really was without it.

Barko grew up in South Africa in a culture where rugby isn’t just a sport—it’s a proving ground. From a young age, he chased the next level, the next team, the next opportunity. And while there was ambition and discipline on the outside, there was also something deeper driving him: the need to be seen, to be enough, to matter. For Barko, rugby wasn’t just something he did—it became something he was.

And then, a serious ankle injury didn’t just interrupt a season—it shook the foundation of his life. The thing he trusted to give him purpose and direction suddenly couldn’t hold him up anymore. But in that painful turning point, God began to do what only God can do: meet him in the loss, confront what had taken the place of Christ, and open a door Barko never expected.

In Part 1 of this conversation, Barko shares how the pressure, the pursuit, and the performance-driven identity eventually led to a breaking point—and how a simple moment at a church camp became the start of a real, personal surrender to Jesus. This is a story about identity, faith in hard times, and the mercy of God when He lovingly takes away what we’ve been leaning on… so He can become what we stand on.

Let’s jump into the conversation with Barko Engelbrecht.
