Stories from the lives of athletes, all pressing toward the goal found in John 3:30:
"He must increase, but I must decrease."

  • My Hope for Our Marriage – Chris Maragos

    Marriage is a blessing. Outside of Christ’s love for us, I believe it’s the best representation of sacrificial love.   As Serah and I grow closer as a couple, our love grows deeper. We each know how much we sacrifice for each other. I see it every day as she loves and serves me, and Read More

  • Being Coached – Matt Hasselbeck

    I hate to admit it, but one of the things I miss most about being in the game is being coached. I played for 18 years and throughout the whole time I was being coached, one of my biggest struggles was rolling my eyes from time to time. But now, I realize how much I Read More

  • More Than Halfway – Tress Way

    This is a time in my life when I have felt the most outside stress, more than ever before. I’ve been very happy-go-lucky for a long time, without a lot of worries or stressers. In college, I was so focused on hanging out with friends and having fun, and then the first few years in the Read More

  • What I Hope… — Benjamin Watson

    It’s one thing to lose, it’s another thing to go out on a note like we did. It’s hard when there is some sort of injustice or bad call that you have no control of. It was a long week after the NFC Championship Game.   Ending is never easy in any capacity. Every athlete Read More

  • Offseason Anxieties – Xavier Scruggs

    Checking my phone every two minutes to see if I missed a call from my agent is not how I imagined my offseason. I’m over here checking Twitter for breaking news like for some reason my own signing would pop up on my feed, as if it would be a surprise to me. Name after Read More

  • The Way It Used To Be – Adam LaRoche

    Here I am, sitting at my desk and wondering what I should share today. And then I think, “Man, here I go again. I’m trying to control everything. I’m trying to put my touch on life, trying to think about what people want to hear from me.” But that’s not what this is about. I Read More

  • Clinging to Christ – Steven Souza

    This offseason has been one of the hardest I’ve ever experienced. Recovering from a torn pec, moving into a new home and figuring out life with a 2-year-old has been quite a rollercoaster. But in a lot of ways, it has been a fruitful one as well.   Last season was the first time I Read More

  • The Great Commission – Scott Linebrink

    As followers of Christ, we have been given the Great Commission (Matthew 28), which states that we must go into the world and make disciples of all nations, teach them to obey and baptize in the name of Jesus. However, before we can live out those instructions, we must first consider the Great Commandment from Read More

  • Like A Lion – Reza Zadeh

    I have recently realized that I have misread and misunderstood 1 Peter 5:8 for my entire Christian life.   “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” — 1 Peter 5:8   I have always taken this verse to say that Satan is Read More

  • Getting Plugged In – Matt Hasselbeck

    Being in an online Bible study with former teammates and current players, while being an ESPN analyst who is often asked to comment on these players, can be interesting. But I make sure to never say anything on television that I would be ashamed of, or that I wouldn’t say in any other place. And Read More
