Christian Athletes Are Built Different: Compete Hard, Stay Holy

Description

How can I stay competitive and intense on the field — without losing sight of my identity in Christ?

We explore what it means to be a Christian first, and an athlete second, and why that mindset changes everything, especially when the game gets intense. From Romans 12:2 to Saint Paul’s example of spiritual endurance, we talk about not conforming to the world, but confusing it by playing with swag, self-control, and bold faith.

You’ll hear:

  • ✅ How to stay fired up in competition without crossing lines
  • ✅ The difference between worldly trash talk and godly confidence
  • ✅ Real talk on identity, intensity, and integrity in sports
  • ✅ Alternatives to trash talk that still bring the hype
  • ✅ A heartwarming “hope story” about a young athlete who redirected his fire in the most creative way
  • ✅ Why the battle’s already been won — and how that truth changes how we win or lose on game day

🎧 Whether you're an athlete, coach, parent, or just someone who loves Jesus and sports, this episode will challenge and encourage you. Because Christian athletes really are built different.
