Pressing On

Philippians 3:12–14 - Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own.
But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,
I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. (ESV)

We expect our athletes to give it their all—Get after it. Finish the drill. Don’t quit. We demand attitude and effort. But what about us?

Are we living by the same standards we set? Are we leading with the same passion we require? We should—and by God’s grace, we can.

It’s time to lead by example. To become the man God is calling us to be
.
Pressing On:
  • To keep going when life is tough. 
  • To live each day as a gift from the Lord. 
  • To daily impact and influence others.
  • To strive toward personal holiness.
  • To be the coach God is calling you to be.

How We Press On: Our Three Pillars

Dependence — Abide in Christ
  • Know Christ. Love Christ. Trust Christ. Depend on Him in everything.
  • Spend time daily in Scripture and prayer, and lead your team from the overflow of your walk with Jesus.

Discipline — Train for Godliness
  • Build consistent, biblical habits—Scripture, prayer, church, serving, and sharing your faith—that help you grow in Christ.
  • Pursue obedience and accountability. Coach your own heart before you coach your team.

Diligence — Stay Steady
  • Keep going and keep growing, faithfully following Christ one day at a time.
  • Stay faithful through victories and setbacks. Do the next right thing and don't grow weary.

It Starts With Your Heart
Before you can lead others well, you must let God lead you. Transformation begins in your own heart and flows into your family, your team, and your community.

1 Corinthians 16:13 - Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.
-
Colossians 1:28 - Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ.
