ATHLETES | BREAKOUT SESSIONS
Approx. 12mins.
PROVEN: For the Athlete
Speaker: Sarah Crews | FCA Staff - Carolinas
What’s the difference between a proven athlete and a proven Christian athlete? The answer lies in what is eternal. In this session, we will reflect on what it means to live
in Christ through our sport rather than competing apart from Him. We will walk through each fruit of the Spirit, applying it to the life of a Christian athlete who is not just proving performance, but proving discipleship. When Christ is evident in the way we train, compete, and respond, everyone around us is impacted and blessed by God. We will close by wrestling with a question inspired by Mark 8:36: What does it profit an athlete to prove their abilities, yet fail to prove they are a disciple of Jesus Christ?
Approx. 4mins.

Connected to the Vine
Speaker: Kate Britton | FCA Staff - Carolinas

Proven Sacrifice
Speaker: Hailey Resetar | College Athlete

Practice Makes Proof
Speaker: Chloe Roberts | College Athlete

Strength Beyond the Game
Speaker: Taneka Rubin | High School Coach
Athletes are often defined by their drive to achieve. In this message, Taneka Rubin shares how she learned to depend on God in every area of her life, including her basketball journey.

Fired Up!

Living Proof
Speaker: Aubree Munro-Watson | Olympic Medalist
Our walk with God isn’t about proving anything to the world. It’s about being living proof of His goodness and faithfulness. The “work” — the trying — is found in abiding in Christ in such a way that your life naturally stirs curiosity in others. When that curiosity opens doors to conversation, we have real opportunities to be honest and authentic about our story with Jesus.
