Dealing with Transition – Benjamin Watson

In this season of transition, God is teaching me, or forcing me, to be OK with who I am and where we’re not. He’s forcing me to be OK with transition. That’s a recurring theme in my life, whether it’s last year’s transition to New Orleans or this year’s transition out of the game. Read More
Living in the Moment – Jordan Matthews

Life has been a little crazy for me this offseason. Only two days after we (the Eagles) lost to the Saints in the playoffs, my wife, my son and I got on a plane to Jamaica because Cheyna was joining the Jamaican women’s national soccer team. When we got back from there, we found Read More
Christ in Me – Tress Way

I’m so thankful for how last season turned out! No, we didn’t make it to the playoffs and we had a bunch of injuries on the team, but we were able to set multiple franchise records and I was able to personally break some records. I don’t want to be a headcase, and I don’t Read More
Creating a Cadence – Kelvin Beachum

This year, my wife and I have been diligent to set aside time to spend in prayer and devotional together. Every Tuesday, from 12-12:30 p.m., we stop whatever we’re doing and go to God. We start off in prayer, then read a devotional and have a time of worship, where one of us will choose Read More
The Weapon of Scripture – Steven Souza

I anticipate this year to be one full of joy. In 2017, the Lord brought so much joy to me and into my game; I was able to play freely and have a lot of fun. Last season I was a bit blinded by the unexpected, but this year I want to choose joy and Read More
What’s Ahead – Trey Burton

Last year I was leaving something comfortable and going somewhere completely new by switching teams. I had to leave a brotherhood I could lean on at all times and build new relationships with guys I had never met before. These things take time; lifelong relationships don’t happen overnight. In fact, it was a whole Read More
A Blessing in Disguise – Luke Weaver

After driving 26 hours across the country, my wife and I completed our three-day trek from Florida to Arizona — the place we would call home for the next baseball season. Hearing I was traded to the Diamondbacks was definitely overwhelming at first. That big of a move would be for anybody. You hear Read More
Becoming a Mirror – Matt Forte

The challenge I find myself facing this year is the same one we are all faced with and that is the one placed before us by God to go and make disciples (Matthew 28:19). When you are in the NFL, you talk about your life on and off the field. When you retire from Read More
Being Present – Matthew Boyd

This season God is showing me just how present He is, and He’s calling me to be the same. As spring training kicked off, my wife and I were excited to be able to host a Bible study for all the players and their families. It’s an awesome opportunity to gather minor leaguers and Read More
It’s Not About More – Adam LaRoche

“Jesus replied: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” — Matthew 22:37-38 If you want to get a good test of how strong your Read More
