Become the athlete God made you to be
Athletes who follow Jesus often struggle with where faith fits in their sport. We create resources that give athletes clarity on God’s intention for sport so they can glorify God, enjoy competition, and utilize their sport as a platform for spiritual growth and impact.
Learn God’s Intention for Sport
Rediscover Joy in Competition
Glorify God in All Things
What does God want from Christian athletes?
Faith is widely present in sports, particularly in ritualistic pre-game prayers and chapels, religious tattoos and t-shirts, and calling on God’s blessing to accomplish athletic goals.
As a follower of Jesus, you may find yourself uncomfortably discontent with limiting faith to these common expressions. You know God wants more for you, but what is it? There are questions we want answered, such as:
Does God care about sports?
How do I apply the Bible to my athletic experience?
How do I deal with injuries and missed expectations?
What does it mean to glorify God through sport?
God’s intention is clear in the Bible, so let’s put in the work to find some answers.
Below are the latest blog posts, along with posts written specifically for athletes, coaches, and parents. Each post takes a few minutes to read and provides Scripture, thoughts, and practices to help the reader live biblically at the intersection of faith and sport.
God wants infinitely more for us.
Athletes desire—and deserve—a more substantive expression of the Christian faith in the context of sport, but they don’t know what it looks like or where to turn to learn more.
That’s why I wrote The Christian Athlete. The book helps athletes understand how to integrate faith and sport by:
Assisting those who want a wide-angled understanding of how to live the Christian faith in the context of sports
Walking through the many questions Christian athletes ask about winning, losing, injuries, practice, and everything in between
Moving Christian athletes from simply having clichéd spiritual sayings decorating their bodies or t-shirts to actually living out their faith through all the opportunities their sport offers them
The Christian Athlete will show readers how to live out a biblical perspective on athletics and urge them to engage in the gifts they are given to glorify God whether they are the team MVP or riding the bench.
You can integrate faith and sport and change how you compete—and live.
Imagine competing with freedom, knowing that win, lose, or draw, you are indeed bringing glory to God. Imagine enjoying competition and bringing out the best in your opponent so you both become something better. Imagine your sport not being an end to your own glory, but a platform to grow closer to God and impact others for God’s Kingdom. We believe all this is possible, and if you are willing, God can lead you on a journey to transforming how you integrate faith and sport.
You don’t have to use faith as a good luck charm to attempt to get what you want. Sport doesn’t have to end with you gaining the glory or living shame. Sport can be a powerful platform that God uses to draw you into a greater story where God is glorified and your joy is complete.
Coaches must do the hard work of introspection. It honors God, creates space for reflection and growth, and helps us better serve those we are called to lead.
