It was great to have @sgruber91 at St. Joseph Christian School today! He challenged students, and adults alike, on historical Christianity and our role in standing for Christ.

Stop looking for the perfect church.

Instead, go worship the perfect Savior with a congregation of flawed people who need grace just as much as you do.

[Leigh Porter @leighkporter]

@ADCoachArnoldCC I LOVED my time and experience at NCMC! YOU made me better. All the pre Madonna talks. 🤣 I needed them. Hope you’re doing well! ❤️ I’d love to watch your daughter play one of these days! I know she’s a baller.

@ADCoachArnoldCC Hey!! I teared up reading that. Thank YOU for giving me a chance. We had SO much fun together. You always pushed me and I needed it!! Thank you for dealing with all my shenanigans. Thank you for helping me get to the next level! And-thank you for always making it fun!

[Paul Washer @paulwasher]

Sin can arise in your heart at any time, and often when you least expect it. The way to guard your heart from sin is to live in the Word of God and to walk according to its teachings.

Watch Studies in Proverbs on Youtube.

Want to be on a Great Team?

Be a Great Teammate.

What do Great Teammates Do?

Here are 7 things Great Teammates Do.

1: Great Teammates are Coachable
Allow yourself to be coached. Accept coaching. Coaching is Feedback. Feedback is how you get better. A team of coachable athletes creates a winning team.

2: Great Teammates are Energy Givers
Energy is contagious. You are directly responsible for the energy you bring to your team. Choose positive energy! There is something special about teams with great positive energy.

3: Great Teammates Thrive in Their Role
All teammates have a role. Know your role. Accept your role. Thrive in your role. Do not try to do something you are not good at. You will stick out like a sore thumb. Be great at what you are good at.

4: Great Teammate Serve Others
Serve your teammates. Make them better. If you make them better, you make them better. Great teammates think of their teammates before themselves.

5: Great Teammates Can Be Trusted.
Lou Holtz always said his #1 rule for teammates was: “Can I trust you?” It is that simple. Good teammates have trust in each other.

6: Great Teammates are Accountable to the Team.
Accountable teammates are always accountable to their team. They are accountable to the standards and culture the team has set. And all accountability begins with self-accountability.

7: Great Teammates Lead By Example.
Finally, leadership matters a lot on great teams. Lead by example - everyone can do that. Then, lead vocally. Encourage your teammates. Hold them accountable.
Always remember that player-led teams win.

Here's Jerome Tang on why Will McNair didn't play. Sounds like a decision unrelated to his on-court performance.

"I can't live with myself if I just use [our players] to win games and then they go off from here and can't be productive citizens and great husbands and great fathers."

[Jason Romano @JasonRomano]

“Then, I met Jesus. I learned that I have a loving father who died for my sins and has a plan for my life.”

WOW! Listen to OU’s @grace_lyons5 PREACH as she says thank you to softball
