Why are relationships so difficult? Whether you're single, dating, engaged, or even married - I think at some point, we have all had questions of what it looks like to pursue a relationship, with God at the center.  I sat down with my wife, Grace, and special guest and friend, Andy Archer, to talk through some of the real questions and challenges that we were faced with during all stages of our relationship - as well as what God taught us throughout each stage. While we know we don't have all the answers, we felt led to address some of the real questions that our generation has surroundin ..read more

Isaiah 43:19 says, "Behold, I will do a NEW thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert." There's something profound and enticing about "newness." Why are we so attracted to it? Why do we look forward to new things? Whether it be a new season, new years, or just simply a new beginning. In today's episode, we look at the words of Jesus and the hope we can have when we take our hands off the wheel and let the Holy Spirit lead us. In whatever season of "New" that you're in, let us be willing to let him do something ne ..read more

The Title IX legislation is in the process of trying to be changed - so what is happening and what do believers need to know?  We are joined by a special guest to walk through what this means for high school and collegiate athletics, and how this proposed change will alter the landscape of athletics forever.  We take a biblical look at whether this proposed change is biblical, and what God's word tells us for how we should proclaim truth, even in the face of intense opposition.  ..read more

How do we find the balance between rest and hard work? The Bible says a lot about both, but how do we know which one we need? In this episode, I sat down with Track athlete Jacob Snyder where we talk about what that balance looks like.  Hard work seems to be a phrase athletes constantly hear, are pushed to reach, but find that enough is never really enough. And what about when our "rest" turns into 3 months of couch potato-ing. Does this balance even exist?  In this episode, we find that the self-determination to accomplish a physical goal can be directly translated into the consiste ..read more

'If I told you my story... you would hear life, but it wasn't mine.'  In this episode, I took this opportunity to share a part of my own story. I officially wrapped up my college athletic career and when I look back at where I started to where I finished, I'm left in awe of our Almighty God and the work that he allowed me to be a part of. God blessed me beyond belief throughout my career - but when I look at the legacy I get to leave, it has very little to do with the mark I left on the field.  I didn't always do it right and I didn't always do it well, but praise God for a Heavenly ..read more

1 Peter 1:7 says that your FAITH is more precious than GOLD... Woah. Of all the things we have ever worked for as athletes and in life, Jesus says that our faith should be at the top of the list.  I was able to sit down with 1st Lieutenant Riley Compton, where she shares part of her testimony from College Softball, to the Marines, to now competing for Team USA in Bobsled. However, of all the awards, achievements, and personal successes, Riley shares how they all fall short of the glory of God. She shares what she has learned in each season of life, and how God has used the different seaso ..read more

Leaving for college, I thought I was ready for the new freedoms and new responsibility that come with "The College Life." And although it may not surprise anyone to learn that college parties do exist, and college kids love their booze, I found that I had been severely underprepared to defend my beliefs and choices, without any Biblical context to support my decisions. While a party and alcohol may not be unique to collegiate athletics, it seems to be a decision that at some point we are all forced to make. This episode uses Biblical evidence to better understand how his word should guide our ..read more

The dynamics of a locker room can often be an accurate predictor into the success or failure of a team. It shows the leadership, cohesion, and accountability of a team's function - all of which are necessary for a team to thrive when the lights come on. But what happens when our self-seeking desire to succeed contradicts our God-given purpose to serve?  I sat down with Anthony Egbo Jr., a defensive back from Abilene Christian University in a truth-packed conversation. Anthony details how God has used football to shape his faith. In this conversation, we touch on "The Alpha" within a locke ..read more
