Lots of people helped make the 4th Global Congress on Sport and Christianity a success. But the crew with me here deserves a major shoutout. For 5 days they served in countless ways behind the scenes. They made it possible for attendees to share, connect, and learn. Grateful 🙏

This past weekend honored to present at the 4th Global Congress on Sport & Christianity with my TCU FCA brothers @ColemanMaxwell and @Mitchell_Traver. We shared a theological argument for the ministry of presence—why showing up changes lives. Thanks to Dr. Paul Putz for leading a powerful conference! #FCA #SportsMinistry #PresenceMatters #FaithAndSports
