"He must increase, but I must decrease."

Christlike on Tour – Trevor Hansen

My family has always been on the water. My parents were both water skiers at Sea World and Cypress Gardens while we were growing up, and I was only 6 months old when I first put on skis. While growing up, the only thing more influential for me than water skiing was my family’s Read More
Something Different – Jordan Matthews

The most challenging thing about my career in the NFL right now is the distance between me and my wife. It’s no secret that I love my wife so much, and I want her to be able to accomplish her dream and what God calls her to do. At this time, God has brought her Read More
Focused on the Kingdom – Adam LaRoche

As a father, I’m constantly thinking I should be stressing our true eternal mission and the work of the Kingdom more with my kids. Most of the time I feel like I’m underachieving on this. Does every parent feel this way? Sometimes I think, ‘Who cares about your school or sport? We’re supposed to be Read More
Humbly Trust – Chris Maragos

God calls us to have childlike faith and trust in Him. But what does that look like? The other day I was talking to my son and he just wasn’t trusting me. I looked him in the eye and said, “Dude, all you have to do is listen to me, obey me and follow Read More
In the Moment – Luke Weaver

I was just put on the injured list… I was pitching well that day until I threw a couple of pitches that felt funny, as if something was off. At that moment, I felt that I needed to make a smart choice and come out of the game. Even if I was so close Read More
Starting Off Right – Adam Wainwright

At the end of each season, I get three or four weeks off to rest. Following the time off, I begin to work out, pushing myself as far as I can go. I need to know what I’ve got in my tank so that when I’m on the mound, I know how hard I can Read More
Setting Goals – Shaun Murray

My brothers and I were always doing dangerous and goofy things. We spent a lot of time on the lakes in the Midwest, water skiing and eventually wakeboarding (which was first called skiboarding). When my older brother and I moved to Florida for college, I got a job working at a ski school, where I Read More
A Spirit of Freedom – Andrew Yun

When I was 7 years old, I followed my dad out to the golf course and fell in love with the game. It’s probably one of the most difficult sports out there, but I love the challenge of it. By the time I was 11, I knew I wanted to be a professional golfer and Read More
5 Increase Questions with Matt Holliday

We talked with Major League Baseball left-fielder Matt Holliday about how he’s living in the increase of Christ, his faith journey, and the mentors that have impacted his life. Here’s what he had to say. What effect does your faith have on your lifestyle? My faith affects everything I do—how I husband, how Read More
The Fight for Purity — Trey Burton

Our culture has become so sexualized, so saturated with negative images on billboards, television, movies and commercials, and we’ve become desensitized to it too easily. I was exposed to pornography at a really young age and it got a hold of me. Throughout high school, I really struggled with this sin. When I went Read More
