Description
Have you ever questioned if God cares about sport? Have you ever struggled to find the connection between athletics and faith? Have you ever wondered if you can be all out for Christ and all out on the pitch? In Train to Endure, Matt Margaron and Abby Krueger dialog with others about the interconnection between faith, sport and life. It is a space for people to learn, grow and be encouraged. It is a space for hard questions to be asked, real stories to be told, and new ideas to be discussed. The idea of enduring is not just to "grin and bear it" but to remain under trials in such a way that we glorify God. Athletes understand the importance of training their bodies to endure in competition. How can we train to endure in faith, sport and life?
