I have been informed by NBC that I won’t be back with FNIA this fall and it has given me time to reflect and also to look ahead. 

It’s disappointing  news but I want to thank my NBC family for making the last 17 years so special.  I’ll have lasting memories of my time there, especially with Rodney Harrison who has become a tremendous friend.

God has always directed me in these moments and while I’m not sure what the next step will be for me—whether it will be in football, in broadcasting, or getting more involved in church and community outreach —I know God has plans for my life and I can’t wait see them unfold. And I am reminded of one of my favorite verses in the Bible-Romans 8:28. “God works all things for His good for those who love the Lord.”

This is coaching 101

Kelvin Sampson is hardest on his players when things are going right, and then senses the mood and will shift to this tone when his team needs it

The best coaches are the opposite of their teams emotions, and never too high or low

Leadership is about making others better as a result of your presence and a lasting impact in the wake of your absence.

As a coach, this right here counts more than skill.

[The Sport Parent @TheSportParent]

Parents -
If you want to see your child have a better chance for more playing time, then please focus more on teaching them the soft skills (handling adversity, humility, respect, work ethic, unselfishness).

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.

[leaderINCREASE @leaderINCREASE]

So many leaders today face an emotional deficit. It comes up in conversations about ministry and life.
You cannot tell it’s a problem by looking on the outside. But these God-following, kingdom-expanding leaders still feel it. It gives them pause even in the best of times.

If you take your eyes off the gospel long enough, you forget what it looks like.

[Paul David Tripp @PaulTripp]

God gave you the clear call of his Word and the conviction of the Holy Spirit because he knew it would be dangerous for you to follow your heart.

Parents teach your young athletes…

It doesn’t matter who you are, what your accomplishments are, or what celebrity you’re dating… you don’t treat your coaches like this.

[Shane Pruitt @shane_pruitt78]

People didn't yell to "crucify" Jesus because He was really nice, tolerant, non-judgmental, all-inclusive, and affirming.

People yelled "crucify" because He claimed to be God, said that He was the only way, called out sin, and rejected what culture and religion had accepted.
