Fellowship of Christian Athletes

You have a field of influence. Wherever you compete, a community is watching. But here’s the real question: Do you see them? ?? Imagine coming together with fellow athletes to take on the ultimate challenge — to read the Bible daily and grow in your relationship with Jesus Christ and His church. Fields of Faith is your chance to ignite a movement and change the culture in your community. For over 20 years, God has used Fields of Faith to engage athletes with the Good News, equip them with God’s Word, and empower them with the Great Commission. ???? Today, this movement has expanded to reach anyone, anywhere, anytime. Will you be part of it? https://lnkd.in/gKax-pHX #FieldsOfFaith #FCA #ChangeTheCulture #FaithInAction

Jesus offers everything we need for a life of true abundance. Just like making a team fills us with pride and excitement, living for what matters to us gives purpose. But if we put our hope in things that crumble, it leads to disappointment. Building our lives on God's love, however, creates a foundation that never fails. Jesus came to give us life overflowing with joy, hope, and grace. Where the enemy seeks to destroy, Jesus, our good Shepherd, offers unity and light. Living close to God fills us with joy, even in trials, and hope that never fades. His grace overflows, guiding us back to His love when we stumble. Choose to live from this overflow, embracing the abundant life Jesus promises. What are the things that drain you, and what things fill you up? What do you need to live a life overflowing in Christ? ??: https://lnkd.in/ggwmVKn5 #fca247 #ready #fromtheoverflow

Meet Alexandra Albano, a sophomore softball player at Converse University who has experienced radical renewal through Christ. Arriving on campus in 2022, Alexandra carried the weight of grief, having lost her brother Bryant just a few years prior. But that December, she surrendered her life to Christ, influenced by the example of her teammate Grace McKinney. Since then, Alexandra has embraced her faith, leading her team’s FCA Huddle, connecting with a local church and even baptizing a teammate last fall. Her journey has been seeking community, growing in faith and stepping into her calling as a disciple-maker. Through her involvement in FCA, Alexandra has learned to integrate her faith with softball, glorifying God in every aspect of her game—wins, losses, and everything in between. She says, “When winning the game was no longer my greatest dream, and He simply became the dream, that is when it all fell into place.” Alexandra’s story is a powerful reminder that God can meet us in our brokenness, renew our hearts, and lead us to impact others. No matter where you are, trust that God has a plan for your life, and like Alexandra, let’s step into it with faith and humility. #FaithAndSports #FCATeam #ChristFirst #Disciple #Renewal ??: https://bit.ly/3XNDU70

Shift your focus from winning to God's purpose. We need to adopt a new perspective on athletics—playing and competing for something bigger than championships. David’s story of defeating Goliath teaches us this. He didn’t fight for personal gain but to honor God. Similarly, our purpose in competition should be to glorify God, understanding that life continues beyond the wins and losses. So, how can we compete for something greater? When you run into a challenge, try to see it as a way of refinement and look for God to show up in it. ?? https://lnkd.in/gTtyDgrt #fca247 #refuel #competeformore

Just as athletes require intentional rest to recover and excel, we, too, need the spiritual refreshment that comes from engaging in authentic community. Surrounding ourselves with others who share our faith strengthens our resolve and reminds us that we are never journeying alone. Through life groups, mentorship, or shared moments of prayer, community provides the space to refuel, reflect, and grow, equipping us to face life’s challenges with renewed strength and purpose. "Let us not give up meeting together... but encourage one another." - Hebrews 10:25 Invest in your community, refuel your spirit, and run the race with endurance and grace. #RefuelWithCommunity #fca247 #refuel #PurposeDriven

You don't have to do it all. Paul emphasizes three key themes in his message: Children of the Light: Believers are called to live as redeemed children of the light, carrying God's truth and grace. Armor of Faith, Love, and Salvation: Christians are encouraged to wear spiritual armor—faith, love, and salvation—providing protection and strength in life's challenges. The Role of Community: Paul stresses the importance of community for mutual encouragement, accountability, and growth, showing how believers can help each other stand firm in their faith. Together, these elements foster encouragement, strength, and victory, supported by a community of believers rooted in Christ. If you don't have these people around you yet, pray that God would bring the right people you could invite to meet with on a regular basis. We are better together. ?? https://lnkd.in/gCqUzXqR #fca247 #refuel

Today, we pause to honor the lives lost, the heroes who rose in the face of tragedy, and the strength of a nation united in faith and hope. ??????? #NeverForget #UnitedInFaith #StrengthInCommunity

There is so much power in mentorships and life groups. In sports, we need coaches to guide us, teammates to strengthen us, and the discipline to grow. The same is true in our faith. Mentors walk alongside us, offering wisdom, encouragement, and accountability as we grow deeper in Christ. Life groups provide a community—where we can share struggles, celebrate victories, and encourage one another to live out our faith boldly. "Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing." - 1 Thessalonians 5:11 ?? Together, we grow stronger in our walk with God and our love for others. Don’t walk alone—join a life group or connect with a mentor today. #FCAteam #Mentor #LifeGroups #fca247 #refuel
