One walked through the devastating loss of his father during his freshman year. The other has faced deeply personal struggles and battles of his own.\n\nBut neither man’s story ended there.\n\nToday, both are pastors.\n\nOne is a youth pastor. One is a lead pastor.\n\nOne is married with a child. The other is preparing for marriage.\n\nAnd both have discovered something bigger than basketball:\n\nYour struggle is not your identity.\nYour past is not your identity.\nYour performance is not your identity.\n\nIn Christ, you are beloved. And because of Jesus, you are righteous.\n\nThis conversation is about an unlikely championship, grief, personal battles, grace, redemption, and two young men who eventually became shepherds.\n\nMaybe God was doing more than building a championship team.\n\nMaybe He was building two shepherds.\n\n🎙️ Redeeming the Game Podcast\nPart 1 & Part 2 — coming soon.\nIf I could go back and talk to my younger self as a coach, these are the 10 things I’d tell him first.\nI put them all into a free guide called “10 Things I Wish I Knew as a Young Coach.”\nNo fluff. No playbooks. Just real lessons from years of coaching, leading, winning, losing, and learning.\nIf you’re early in your coaching journey, or you want to coach with more purpose and clarity, grab it for free below.\n👇 Free download linked below 👇\nwww.redeemingthegame.com/10things\n\nmatt@redeemingthegame.com","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/TApd9vnFJpsalF741eyB9Ws6M_aOqsBv3MnoH2CQZVE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS80YzMz/MWExNWNmMjE5NmU4/NjUyNTQ5ZjY3OWJj/NjYyZi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
