Their Words. Their Terms.
Thoughts from Faith Driven Athletes.
A Second Chance
My name is Jordan Murphy. I was a starting fullback on the University of Colorado football team. I was also a survivor of the Dark Knight movie shooting. This is my story.
Beyond My Understanding
God put big dreams on my heart...not easy ones. It’s my job not to abandon them when they get hard, but to keep pursuing them.
Love Endures All Things
People say you should play for the name on the front of the jersey, and not the back, but when your last name is Love it's a little different.
The Luckiest Man on Earth
Knock the snot out of it. That's what Stephen Piscotty used to tell him before his little league at-bats. When she passed away after a battle with ALS, this is how her legacy lives on...
Paying My Dues
In baseball, we're taught to never look at a third strike but to give yourself every chance by swinging. It was the same for my career. I didn't know if I would ever get to the big leagues, but there was only way one to find out.
Built When Broken
When I committed to ECU, my goal was to be the next Tim Tebow. I didn’t know if that would mean winning a Heisman Trophy or winning a National Championship, but it did mean using my platform to glorify God.
Seeking God First
Whoever said there's no crying in baseball was wrong, because on that day I can promise you there were definitely tears. But when you surrender to God's plan and just submit to His will, it's amazing where He can take you. My name is Brandon Wulff, and this is my story.
Trust the Process
When my mom told me to trust the process, I’m not even sure that she had the NBA in mind. We believed in God’s plan, and that He would take care of us, but we were focused on just trying to get a scholarship. Being a top-10 draft pick was not on my radar.
Imitators of Christ
It was the bottom of the 9th inning, of Game 7 of the World Series, in front of nearly 50,000 screaming fans. And of all the people to be standing on third base, 90 feet from the winning run, there I was.
All Things Are Possible
As I walked back in that locker room, all eyes turned on me. And with everybody hanging on my next word, my mind just went...blank.
Staying the Course
I was about as far away from Major League Baseball as I could get in my profession, but on this particular day I was closer to God than I had ever been before.
Keep Fighting
Baseball is what I did. It was never who I was. My goal in life was to love God and other people, and I've always tried to use my platform for good.
Dream Come True
I'm not a quitter. But if I'm being honest, that period of my life was the closest I came to quitting.
Filling the Gap - The Story of ADs for Christ
There has long been a gap where no specific ministry existed to pour into the large group of college athletic directors who impact so many. Not anymore.
Beyond My Wildest Dreams
What happened over those two weeks – and really what has happened over the last three years – is nothing short of miraculous.
The Aloha Spirit
After waiting nearly two years for this moment, it was finally here. There I was, standing in the tunnel at Colorado State’s stadium, getting ready for the first start of my college career.
Why I Left the NFL to Plant a Church
“I didn’t expect God to use one of the most disappointing seasons of my life to prepare me to plant a church 10 years later…”
An Answered Prayer
From a community college walk-on to the NFL, Davion Taylor’s story is full of answered prayers…
Walk by Faith
“This dream, which was 20 years in the making, was over just like that. And I didn't know how to handle it.”
