How do you Pursue Life? April thru June, we take the Truth we have been pursuing and make it Real in Life. 

BE HONEST: OPEN YOUR HEART

Published on April 05, 2021

SARAH FREYMUTH

Life has often been counted not by the measure of breaths we take or moments experienced, but by the ticking of a game clock or hours and days dedicated to practices, driving to tournaments and the stretch of sports season after sports season. We pursue a life of athletics because it feels born in us, or a sweet surprise we’ve gratefully stumbled into. And we honor this life by giving as much of ourselves to it as we can.

Through long nights of film, early morning weightlifting and building camaraderie as a team, life has meant dedication to honing our skills and setting our sights on scholarship, the next level and personal bests.

As competitors, we’re wired for life on the field. But where is our eternal focus? How can we give our all while in pursuit of an abundant life God says we can have?

We dive in and bring God into our hearts’ motivations. We Pursue Life with everything we’ve got. We run after it. We’re intentional with it.

Over the next quarter, we’ll explore what it means to Pursue Life. Over the next three months, each of these themes connect to engage in intentional pursuit of God and His great call on our lives.

Here are some other ways for Student Athlete Leaders and FCA Volunteers to PURSUE LIFE and open their hearts this April ...

1) Start with the Core. 

This quarter, we’re exploring what it means to Pursue Life. This month, our focus is on how to Open Your Heart. Join us as we journey through this exploration and prepare to Examine Your Heart next month.

One way to openly engage with your heart is through FCA’s The CORE, a journey through eight essentials on how to engage in God’s Word, be equipped in the basics of faith and be empowered to help others grow in Jesus Christ. Bring a friend along and join the journey! THE CORE

2) Dig into April Discovery Series. Read and study with Student Athlete Leaders or Huddles.

Total Victory: Finding Freedom at the Cross

5 Days

You sacrifice your time and energy to compete for your teams every season. The pressures of your performance feel like they're riding on your shoulders. But did you know that Jesus Christ, the Redeemer, has already sacrificed His life, risen and defeated any burden you’ll face? As you continue to compete this season, remember the Cross and worship the fact that Jesus has defeated death and redeemed our sin.
