As a coach or athlete, it can feel as if the demands never stop. The training, practicing, planning and strategizing keep you hustling and operating at a pace that is difficult to thrive in. Although these things, in the right measure, are necessary to compete at a high level, the pace is not always sustainable. How do you handle the overwhelming demands of a "24/7" sports culture? There's no time to waste, right? Someone is always working harder, training longer, spending more hours watching game film, and prepping for the next game, race, meet or competition.
The reality is that your life doesn't have to be overrun by the pressures to keep up and prove your worth. The pressures and stakes may always be high, but how you respond doesn't have to remain unchanged. The 24/7 "with God" life is available — you just have to slow down long enough to receive what He's ready to give you.
When Christ resets my perspective, I'm free in Him.
Through Christ, I have a new identity and purpose in Him.
God refuels me with a joy and hope that overflow into every aspect of my life.
I am ready to go and make disciples out of the overflow of Christ in me.
See you on the field!
