Is There More for a Christian Athlete?

Are You Intentional with Your Game?

In the world of sports, it’s easy to get caught up in the thrill of competition, the rush of adrenaline, and the pursuit of victory. But as Christian athletes, we are called to something greater. We are called to be intentional with our game, to put thought into what we’re doing, and to ensure that our actions align with our faith…for the glory of God!

Setting Our Foundation on the Rock of Jesus

When we set ourselves upon the Rock of Jesus, our mission becomes an everyday thing. It’s not just about showing up and letting our emotions and feelings guide us.

Instead, it’s about taking our gifts and the places where God has put us to have an impact on all those around us. This intentionality transforms our approach to sports and life.

On Mission vs. Going on a Mission

To be on a mission is far more effective than simply going on a mission trip. When we are “on mission,” we are being used by God to fulfill the Great Commission. It’s about being on a mission trip right where we are—within our game, our team, and our community. This perspective shifts our focus from temporary goals to eternal impact.

Perseverance and Consistency

Drawing from the themes of perseverance and consistency, we understand that being on mission requires dedication and steadfastness. It’s not always easy, but it’s in these moments of challenge that our faith is tested and strengthened. By remaining consistent in our walk with Christ, we can be a light to those around us, showing them the love and grace of God through our actions.

Be on Mission with Your Game

As Christian athletes, let’s commit to being on mission with our game. Let’s use our platform to glorify God, to encourage others, and to make a lasting impact. Whether on the field, the court, or the track, let’s remember that our ultimate goal is to honor God in all that we do.

By embracing this mindset, we can transform our approach to sports and life, making every moment an opportunity to serve and glorify God. So, are you ready to be on mission with your game and play for eternity?
