It’s easy to view our faith as simply an addition to everything else we do. But we firmly believe that God doesn’t want to be just another part of our process. Instead, He wants to be at the center, transforming and redefining every process in our lives. In athletics, we believe that coaches who invest in developing the souls of their athletes with the same intentionality they bring to developing their physical, mental, and emotional abilities will ultimately produce better results—not just in competition, but in life. #b3rdathletics #PurposeDriven #christianathlete #FaithAndSports b3rdathletics.com/post/faith…

Excited to be in Cleveland, Ohio, for the North American Sports & Arts Chaplaincy Conference! A huge thank you to our B3rd Ministries donors who make opportunities like this possible. It’s been an incredible experience learning from great speakers, building relationships, and meeting so many amazing people who share a passion for faith and sports! One of the highlights has been connecting with Fr. Nate Wills, chaplain for the Notre Dame football team! Grateful for the opportunity to continue learning and growing as we work to bring Christ into the world of athletics! #faithandsports #christianathletes #pursuitofexcellence

What if one of the most important people on your coaching staff doesn’t know your sport? In my conversation with Drew Vilinsky from St. Ignatius High School, we discuss how team chaplains can transform athletic programs by keeping Christ at the center. Sports are a platform, not a purpose. Read the article and watch our conversation b3rdathletics.com/post/the-m…

Coaching Excellence starts with understanding WHO you coach. Before we can lead athletes well, we have to know them well. Who are they? What motivates them? What challenges them? What do they need from us? Know WHO you coach. Then learn how to coach them. #CoachingExcellence #B3rdAthletics b3rdathletics.com/post/who-w…

Last week in our Journey to Becoming 3rd program, we studied the Fear of the Lord. It’s not a concept we hear discussed nearly enough in the modern Church, yet it is crucial to our growth in holiness—and, I believe, to our ability to truly be coached. At the end of the week, a fellow coach handed me a book and said, “You are going to love this book. It changed my life and helped me understand in a deeper way what it means to fear the Lord.” The book was The Awe of God by John Bevere, an author I honestly had never heard of. I was excited to start reading, but as I often do, I immediately went searching to see if I could find the author teaching on the topic as well. That search led me to the sermon below, which I’ve been listening to alongside the book, and it has been incredibly powerful for me. The video begins at the point where Bevere discusses five ways Christians manifest the Fear of God, but I would highly recommend listening to the entire message. One idea continues to challenge me: Without the Fear of God, we cannot truly be coachable. If I am unwilling to surrender what I want, what I think, or what I’m attached to, how can God truly coach me? And if I’m unwilling to be coached by Him, how can I expect to grow into the person He is calling me to become? So the question I’m sitting with is this: What am I attached to that is getting in the way of my growth? And maybe that’s a question worth asking for all of us—not only for our own lives, but for how we lead, love, coach, and compete. God First. Others Second. Me Third. @JohnBevere @b3rdathletics youtu.be/24d6y34tF9k?si=Uz-1…

Why did God create you? Are you enough? And what does it really mean to B3rd? #B3rd #B3rdAthletics #Faith #Purpose #CatholicYouth #GodFirst youtu.be/HrBgst0wEl0?si=5M9A…
