the game. our story

The game. That is kind of what started the entire thing.

I have been able to be part of events in our local schools this week that are hosted by Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA). Olympic gold medalist Leah O’Brien Amico has been sharing her story about faith and the game she has accomplished so much through.

Watching these students be drawn in to her story has been incredible. She has talked about finish purpose and living with strength. So many student athletes have spent a few minutes of one on one time getting encouragement and insight in how to better their game and prepare for what is ahead.

Leah has shared so many things that go way past the game. She has shared what will help each of us be better people, to accomplish more and even to contribute enormous blessings to the things we are involved in.

But what has touched me most is how this lady loves people and uses her story to share about how Jesus has made a difference in her life, influenced her on the playing field and helped her live with goals and purpose.

Google her. Find her podcast. Listen to her story. Pray for the students that heard this week. Pray for those she will share with in the future.

Romans 10:15 NLT

And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!”

Share your story of what God has done in your life. Use the place God has given you to influence others. You will be able to influence others to get to know God as you have.

God chose us to share His story, and it is an awesome opportunity.

1 Thessalonians 2:8 NLT

We loved you so much that we shared with you not only God’s Good News but our own lives, too.

Francis Chan's "Forgotten God" (brand new book)

One of the most powerful preachers, writers and leaders of our time, in my opinion, is Francis Chan. His first book, Crazy Love , revolutionized my thoughts about God's love as well as my interacting with God. Now it is time for a brand new book from Chan being released tomorrow, September 1st. The book is Forgotten God . This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into. All of it is within the Holy Spirit. Francis talks about the power that was seen in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit began to move among people. It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about. And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts. We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things. It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share. For me C.S. Lewis is one of those. He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class. It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before. He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born. It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian. He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
