God calls parents to faithfully teach, model, and pray, trusting Him as the ultimate source of wisdom and the One who alone brings their children to faith.

Never Despise the Law
Hopefully, you understand why God gave us The Ten Commandments. They prepare us for the One who can save us from sin and death. The Law of God prepares the soil of the human heart so that it can receive the seed of the Gospel. It convinces us of the disease, so that we can appreciate the cure. J. C. Ryle said, "Never, never let us despise [the Law]. It is the symptom of an ignorant ministry, and unhealthy state of religion, when the Law is reckoned unimportant. The true Christian delights in God's Law." In speaking of the Christian's attitude to the Law, John Wesley said, "Yea, love and value it for the sake of Him from whom it came, and of Him to whom it leads. Let it be thy glory and joy, next to the cross of Christ. Declare its praise, and make it honorable before all men."
There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.
Please place the Trapp family in your prayers. Kylie was one of Southeast Soccer’s first players. She played through injury and CV19. She was one of those players who set the foundation at Southeast Soccer that has blessed current and future players.

If y’all haven’t told @Lane_Kiffin about the Cajun turkey with pepper jack at American Market then shame on you.
Also someone please send me a Cajun turkey with pepper jack from American market please. Fully dressed.
I still find that the time spent AWAY from the pitch is flooded with conversations and memories that go far beyond what happens in a game. I have to be intentional tho and glory to God for being so good to bless us richly. Making memories w/@acwitten28#RedeemTheTime#ForHim
I don't know a single athlete that wants to go pro that can say, "I am so glad I spent 4+ hours a day scrolling on my phone instead of spending time with my friends, training, or trying to get better at my sport."
You can't have a mediocre routine and expect to be a champion. There's a lot of athletes out there working hard and some that are working even harder and smarter. If you want to compete at the next level you will have to level up and match your effort with what's required. Sometimes that means sacrificing.
@Wendi_Irlbeck “No matter what happens, Christ won it all on the cross.
You can’t control everything in this lifebut you can control your actions, your attitude, your response, and your faith”
Our kids need to be pointed to the cross dear sister. We are saved by grace, thru faith, in Christ
I’ve noticed a clear shift in young athletes over the past few years. This may ruffle some feathers, but I’ve always been a straightforward professional who has dedicated my career to helping athletes, families, and individuals become leaner, stronger, faster, and healthier.
I’m getting older, and with that comes perspective. I’ve been coaching people of all ages through behavioral change for over 15 years. Patterns repeat. Results follow habits. And effort always shows.
Many athletes set goals. They say they want change. They talk about becoming the best version of themselves. We provide a customized system, continue to refine it, and tailor it to meet each athlete’s needs yet too often, the follow-through is missing.
As dietitians, coaches, leaders, health professionals, and educators, we care deeply. We want to see you win. But we cannot force effort, discipline, or consistency. And it’s difficult when someone goes through the motions, then becomes frustrated when held accountable for the very standards they asked us to uphold.
Accountability is not punishment. It is an investment you chose because it aligned with what you said you wanted.
So where do we go from here?
If you’re upset about not achieving a certain result, it’s time for an honest assessment of your actions, habits, and attitude. Progress requires commitment. Growth demands consistency. Results are built through daily choices not intentions.
You cannot blame others if you didn’t show up to practice, didn’t prioritize improving your nutrition, didn’t help your parents with meal prep, or chose scrolling social media over getting the sleep your body needs. Support is available. Guidance is offered.
But commitment and change has to come from you.
@Wendi_Irlbeck I believe it’s deeper. I don’t believe we’re looking at a worsening- I believe the resources being made available are just exposing more of what we already knew. We can’t change hearts, we can’t manufacture discipline, we can’t drag someone into greatness.
@Wendi_Irlbeck We should be asking why. Why when youngsters are provided so many resources are we seeing such a low rate of follow through? Some blame snowplow parents, some blame the social media comparison demon, others just say kids are softer today. Those are part of it sure BUT…
@Wendi_Irlbeck Young people have more resources available to them today than at any point in the past yet the commitment to see it through remains the same as it was years ago. Those resources are greater in number today which creates the perception that fewer kids are committed.
Listening to former players like @DaneBradshaw and @PatBradley22 makes for an enjoyable game to watch. Add @JohnBrady_Coach on the radio and I could make a habit of taking in more college basketball.
