Trusting God Through Adversity

November 16, 2023 • Gary Steffes, Talor Joseph

Trusting God through adversity is not easy. When unexpected trials hit like rejection, criticism, injury, or being traded, we have choice to surrender and trust the Lord, or try to take the matter into our own hands. In today's episode, Talor Joseph shares from his experience on trusting God through adversity as a professional hockey goaltender. Strength comes through surrender! I pray this message blesses you!

Lord, What Does It Mean to be a Christian Athlete?

July 6, 2022 • Gary Steffes • 1 John 2:15–17

"Lord, what does it mean to be a Christian athlete?" I prayed as I stood outside my senior year of college apartment. I felt God's grace overwhelm me that He was smiling and would answer that prayer. This is the story of how I went from a place of needing hockey to wanting it in my life, and from Gary the hockey player, to Gary the Christian that happens to play hockey. I pray it encourage you friends!
