Purpose Above The Rim

EP23: Self-Control is the difference-maker in life. Many confuse self-control with self-discipline. Although they are very similar, there are some distinct differences. Paul talks a lot about self-control in the New Testament. We will discuss this more in this episode. May God bless you and yours! #kingdomteamtraining #trainwithpurpose #purposeabovetherim

EP22: Commitment is the difference-maker in life. We all have seen people who say they are committed, but who show something different. Commitment really does separate people. Are you a really committed athlete or coach? Are you really a committed follower of Christ? We will discuss this more in this episode. May God bless you and yours! #kingdomteamtraining #trainwithpurpose #purposeabovetherim

EP21: Courage is not the absence of fear. It's the ability to find strength in the face of it! We will discuss this and more in today's episode. God bless! #kingdomteamtraining #trainwithpurpose #purposeabovetherim

Take action. What you know can impact who you are. Both can impact what you do! We will discuss this and more in today's episode. God bless! #kingdomteamtraining #trainwithpurpose #purposeabovetherim

Who am I? Who are you? These questions force people to wrestle with identity. Who you are is not what you do. These things are different. We will discuss this in today's episode. God bless! #kingdomteamtraining #trainwithpurpose #purposeabovetherim

To be an elite athlete or coach, you must have extensive knowledge of the game. But knowledge in itself is simply not enough. We will discuss this and learn to apply it to our spiritual journey in this episode. God Bless! #kingdomteamtraining #trainwithpurpose #purposeabovetherim

To run a race, you must develop endurance. The same principle applies to the race we call life. We will discuss this and more in today's episode. God bless! #kingdomteamtraining #trainwithpurpose #purposeabovetherim

What time do you wake up in the morning to work out, read the word and pray? Some you do not, while others may. Regardless of the activity, self-discipline is a key ingredient that helps athletes and coaches become great. We will discuss this and more in today's episode. God bless! #kingdomteamtraining #trainwithpurpose #purposeabovetherim

Resilience is something we all need to develop. If you have not, take heart because it is something that can be learned. It does, however, take time and practice. It is important to bounce back and recover from difficult circumstances. Go to God as he will give you strength. We will discuss this in today's episode. God bless! #kingdomteamtraining #trainwithpurpose #purposeabovetherim

My heart was very heavy when I recorded this episode. It has nothing to do with athletics, but everything to do with the need to know God and make God known. If this episode speaks to your heart, please pass it along and share it with others. Go bless you and yours!

Changes! Change can be a good thing. Some people fear it while others embrace it. As athletes and coaches, we must continually evaluate if a change is needed. More important than that is the recognition of a change in our personal lives away from the court. Ask God for wisdom as you think about change in your life. We will discuss this in today's episode. God bless! #kingdomteamtraining #trainwithpurpose #purposeabovetherim

What direction are you going? Where are you headed in life? Coaches and athletes need direction as they are in the off-season. Knowing your direction will guide your day-to-day activities. The question to ponder is this: who is your guide? We will discuss this in today's episode. God bless! #kingdomteamtraining #trainwithpurpose #purposeabovetherim

Please Note: We will produce episodes every other week (about two per month) We are transitioning into a series called WE NEED. We will discuss things we need in sport as well as things we need in life. Often those areas are connected. Tell your friends and family members to subscribe to the show. Our goal is to be a blessing to whoever may lesson. Doing it all to the glory of God!

What path are you walking on? Everyone is headed down a path that is leading them somewhere. The paths we take all lead to eternity with or apart from God. This episode speaks to a new path! May God bless you!  #kingdomteamtraining #trainwithpurpose #purposeabovetherim
