Praise for Heart of a Competitor

Athletics can be a great way to learn lessons about everyday life. But what is really special is when you can take athletic lessons and apply them to your spiritual life. Heart of a Competitor takes a look at how the tests we face as players and coaches can help us grow as Christians.

Tony Dungy, former head coach, Indianapolis Colts

In the Heart of a Competitor , you will see that it is just as important to train spiritually as it is to train physically and mentally. When you focus on training the total body, it will take you to the next level.

Tamika Catchings, WNBA player, the Indiana Fever; founder, Catch the Stars Foundation; four-time Olympic Gold Medalist

Heart of a Competitor is an awesome resource for believersboth on and off the field. Life isnt always about winning a game; its about living for the Lord in all that we do. This book helps to keep that in perspective.

Clayton Kershaw, Major League Baseball pitcher; author, Arise ; National League Cy Young Award Winner (2011)

Letter from FCA

Dear Teammate,

The mark of a true competitor is found in the heart. Here is where every competitive passion begins and where our relationship with God is grown. These thirty-one devotionals are written from a competitors mind-set and include Bible verses to help you understand Gods perspective on key issues. It doesnt matter if you are a coach or an athlete, if you play on a team or compete on an individual level, these devotions will teach you how to live out your faith as a competitor.

Our hope is that this book will motivate you, over the course of one month, to develop a consistent, focused way of spending time with God, so you will deepen your understanding of His Word and become a true competitor for Jesus Christ. We call these intentional times of reading Gods Word Training Times. You can read more about developing a consistent Training Time in the Introduction.

As a competitor, you have been given a tremendous platform from which to influence others. We pray that God will use these devotions to transform your life as a competitor so that you can make an eternal impact for Jesus Christ.

Make an Impact,
The Fellowship of Christian Athletes

Introduction

Training Time

In sports, time-outs give athletes and coaches a chance to strategize for upcoming challenges. Similarly, in life, we need to take time-outs to think about our purpose as members of Gods team. FCA is excited to present you with a collection of devotions that will challenge you to play and live for the glory of God. Each devotion is written from an athletic perspective and will encourage you to be more like Christ both on and off the field.

Every day, set aside a special quiet time to be with God. During this spiritual training time, talk to God and let Him speak to you through the Bible. There are many effective methods that can be used for your daily time with God. One method that we recommend is the PRESS method.

The PRESS Method

Pray

Begin your quiet time by thanking God for the new day, and then ask Him to help you learn from what youre about to read. Prepare yourself by

  • clearing your mind and being quiet before the Lord
  • asking God to settle your heart
  • listening to worship music to prepare your spirit
  • asking God to give you a teachable heart

Read

Begin with the thirty-one devotionals provided in this book. Also, try reading a chapter of Proverbs every day (there are thirty-one chapters in the book of Proverbs, which makes it ideal for daily reading), one psalm, and/or a chapter out of the Old or New Testament. You may consider beginning with one of the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John), or one of the shorter letters, such as Ephesians or James.

Examine

Ask yourself the following questions with regard to the passage you read:

  • Teaching: What do I need to know about God, myself, and others?
  • Rebuking: What do I need to stop doingsins, habits, or selfish patterns?
  • Correcting: What do I need to change in my thoughts, attitudes, or actions?
  • Training: What do I need to do in obedience to Gods leading?

Summarize

Do one of the following:

  • Discover what the passage reveals about God and His character, what it says or promises about you, and what it says or promises about others (such as your parents, friends, or teammates). Write your thoughts down in a personal journal.
  • Rewrite one or two key verses in your own words.
  • Outline what each verse is saying.
  • Give each verse a one-word title that summarizes what it says.

Share

Talk with God about what youve learned. Also, take time each day to share with another person what you learned during that days study. Having a daily training time is the key to spiritual development. If you commit to working through these thirty-one devotionals over the next month, you will establish this as a habitone that will be vital to your growth in Christ.
