Today, we honor Juneteenth—a day to remember, reflect and celebrate freedom. We thank God for the freedom we have in Him. “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” —2 Corinthians 3:17 (CSB) #Juneteenth #FreedomInChrist #FCA #FCATeam

💙 Happy Father's Day from our FCA Team! Today we honor the dads, grandfathers, coaches and mentors who lead with strength, faith and unconditional love. Your example shapes generations. We also remember those for whom this day is tender—those missing their dads, fathers who have lost children and those praying for the chance to become fathers. May God’s peace and comfort be near. “As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him.” — Psalm 103:13 (CSB) Thank you, dads. You are a blessing.

In most sports, decisions are made in mere seconds. Am I going to swing at this pitch or not? Pass the ball to this player or the other? Run this play or another. Any hesitation in these matters could lose you any advantage you had over your opponent.   You might have heard your coach talk about committing to your decision and pursuing it with 100 percent effort. Most coaches will be more upset that you didn’t commit to the decision rather than you making the wrong one.   My husband is an example of this kind of coach. In golf, there are countless ways to play each shot. After a shot was made, no matter the outcome, he asked his players, “Did you commit to it?” If they answer yes, he reminds them, “That’s all that matters.”   We will mess up in our sport and life. God knows this and even expects us to mess up, so he gives us the instructions for repentance. What we can control is choosing to be all in with serving God and keeping His commandments.   If we sit and hesitate to follow God’s word, we leave ourselves open to being attacked by the enemy. This hesitation leaves a crack where Satan can plant doubts and turn our eyes away from God. If we hurry to keep God’s commands, we commit all we have to Him and leave nothing behind.   So, choose to be all in for Jesus in a world where indecisiveness rules the minds of our peers. We can choose a life of decisive victory in Christ by looking toward Him and following His commands with haste. Author Chrystal Cowan Chrystal grew up with FCA as a cornerstone of her walk with the Lord. She graduated from Belmont University and was on FCA Staff in Tennessee for four years. She now lives in Hattiesburg, Miss., with her husband, Colton, the women's golf coach at Southern Mississippi University. They welcomed their first daughter, Collins, in June of 2023.

There is greater potential in your life than finding your identity in sports. As an athlete, it’s natural to feel like you have more potential than what is showing up in practice or in the heat of competition. And when you don’t feel like you’re living up to expectations, the pressure starts to build.  Living up to your potential is more than what you can do on your own. There’s more to life than playing for the scoreboard. In fact, your potential shouldn’t just be measured by athletic achievements. It should be measured by who God says you are. There is a greater purpose wrapped up in your potential when your potential is wrapped up in Him. #FCA247

“Rather, train yourself in godliness. For the training of the body has limited benefit, and godliness is beneficial in every way, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come. This saying is trustworthy and deserves full acceptance. For this reason we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.” – 1 Timothy 4:7b-10

“My dear brothers and sisters, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger, for human anger does not accomplish God’s righteousness.” James 1:19-20
