Influence Bo Bassett attended a Bible study led by Kyle Snyder — even when other wrestlers didn’t go. That decision changed his faith journey. Like Daniel (Dan. 1:8), sometimes leadership means not following the crowd. One decision can influence many. #Devotion #FCATeam #FaithInSports #Influence

Mental Training “Don’t worry about anything… present your requests to God.” — Philippians 4:6 Even elite athletes face anxiety. Strength grows through daily faith drills — prayer, Scripture and trust in God. Train your mind. Trust His peace. #Devotion #FCATeam #FaithInSports #GodsPeace

Cheering Section “Let us run with endurance… keeping our eyes on Jesus.” — Hebrews 12:1–2 You’re not running your race alone. A great cloud of witnesses is cheering you on. Keep going. Finish strong. #Devotion #FCATeam #FaithInSports #RunTheRace

In life you’ll be tested often. You will fail. You’ll face setbacks. You’ll often get discouraged. But the key is to: Stay faithful. Keep working. Get better.

7 Ways to Make Today a Better Day: 1. Look for the good. 2. Appreciate the little things. 3. Help someone. 4. Tell someone they matter. 5. Give more than you take. 6. Speak words of encouragement and hope (to yourself and others). 7. Believe the best is yet to come.

Building Character “How can a young man keep his way pure? By keeping your word.” — Psalm 119:9–11 Character is built through daily choices. God’s Word guides us, strengthens us and keeps us on the right path. Train your heart like you train for your sport. #Devotion #FCATeam #Character #FaithInSports

It’s officially #March! 👍🏻

The cure for envy and jealousy is gratitude. Instead of focusing on what others have you’ll find peace by being thankful for the gifts you’ve been given. This doesn’t mean you don’t strive for more. It just means you appreciate what you have in this moment!

Mercy transforms. “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.” — Matt. 5:7 (CSB) Show compassion, kindness & forgiveness like Jesus—even when it’s hard. Your mercy can change someone’s life. #fcateam #devotion #ShowMercy #FaithInSports #ChristlikeCharacter

Prayer isn’t just before the game. It’s a posture for life. Play with focus. Compete with integrity. Live with God in mind. “Pray constantly.” — 1 Thess. 5:17 #fcateam #devotion #PrayToPlay #FaithInAction

Paul had the résumé. The credentials. The confidence. And he still called it a loss compared to knowing Christ (Phil. 3:8). The goal isn’t performance—it’s relationship. The pressure is off when Jesus is the focus. #fcateam #devotion #OneGoal #KnowChrist #FaithOverWorks #ChristAboveAll

My house is built on Jesus “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.” Matthew 7:24-27

In life you’re going to have carrot moments where adversity softens you and tries to break your spirit. You’re going to have egg moments where pressure makes you hard and closed off. That’s part of being human. But the mission is not to get stuck there. A Coffee Bean is someone who recognizes the heat, the pressure, and the struggle and chooses to transform in it instead of being defined by it. Growth happens when you keep showing up, keep learning, and keep pushing forward, even when it’s uncomfortable. One day, one choice, and one better version of yourself at a time.
