This year, we want to help coaches and athletes go from being overwhelmed by the 24/7 demands and pressures of life to learning how to live in the overflow of the joy that can only be found in Jesus. We want to help them reset their perspectives, renew their identities and purpose, be refueled by the joy that comes from the Lord, and be ready to go make disciples.

We know this journey isn't always linear, because life isn't always predictable. But we want to be there, offering coaches and athletes a message of hope and a reminder of how important it is to slow down and find spiritual rest.

We walk through the life of Peter to show his "From...To" story. He was stuck in the 24/7 grind of life and needed a reset but couldn’t stop moving. As a fisherman, he was always working and striving for the next big catch. Peter was in a performance trap and trying to keep up with the world’s expectations.

But in the moment he met Jesus, he had no choice but to be still and listen. Through renewing, refueling and now ready to make disciples, Peter emerged as one of the Church's leaders. Because of his obedience and service the Church expanded. Now we all have access to the Gospel.

Being a Character coach makes a difference in the lives of students. We have seen this through 5 baptisms of Oakland Football players in 2022. Cameron and Duce, both were raised in church, but decided to give their life to Jesus and take the next step of obedience in baptism. This is why we do what we do; to advance the Kingdom of God. God is good, and wants to use us, but we have to put our yes on the table, especially when it is hard.
