Have You Answered Your Call??? How the Christmas Story can empower athletes and coaches to pursue their Journey
I’m sure you are aware of the Christmas story and how Jesus was born into this world.
But today, we are going to talk about how this story can help you as an athlete and coach for Christ.
The Christmas Story
Let’s break down the story of Christmas into some individual components.
A Seemingly Impossible Call
The angel Gabriel told Mary that she was going to give birth to Jesus, GOD’s Son, to save the world.
For some physiological, biological, and spiritual reasons, this seemed like an impossible call.
Answering Yes
Despite the seemingly impossible call, Mary knew it was from GOD and answered “YES” to the call.
A Long, Arduous Journey
Mary and Joseph went on a long, arduous journey to Bethlehem.
They were rejected by many people and couldn’t find a room to give birth to Jesus.
Making Use of Resources
Mary and Joseph used the resources they had around them to give birth to Jesus.
Bringing Light Into the World
Mary ended up having Baby Jesus, the Light and Savior of the world.
My Question for You Is …
What seemingly impossible call is GOD presenting to you?
The call may seem impossible, and when you answer “YES” to the call, it may lead you down a long, arduous journey where you may be rejected and utilize the resources around you.
But, if the call is from GOD …
You will bring your own authentic light to make an impact on people for now and for eternity.
Athletes

How is GOD calling you to use your sport as a platform to make an impact?
The call may seem impossible.
It may lead you down a long, arduous path through grueling workouts and the thrills of victory and the agony of defeat.
You may need to utilize the resources and people around you to help you on the journey.
But if the call is from GOD, Christ’s light will shine through you authentically to make an impact on those around you for now and for eternity.
Coaches
What seemingly impossible call is GOD presenting to you?
How is GOD calling you to use your coaching as a platform to make an impact?

You may need to utilize the resources and people around you to help you on the journey.
But if the call is from GOD, Christ’s light will shine through you authentically to make an impact on those around you for now and for eternity.
