Applying 1 Timothy 4:12 to Athletics with Vice President of Sports at Christian Sports International Matt Davis

Applying 1 Timothy 4:12 to Athletics with Vice President of Sports at Christian Sports International Matt Davis

1 Timothy 4:12 says  “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.” For Christian athletes and coaches, what can we learn from this verse? How can we apply this to everything that we do, no matter what age we are?

Matt Davis, Vice President of Sports at Christian Sports International, joins the show to talk about this verse and how we can apply this and related topics to the sports that we love. Matt has so much experience in sports outreach and reaching youth through sports, and it was apparent throughout our conversation how passionate he is about this topic and so much more.

Listen and learn as we discuss:

  • How 1 Timothy 4:12 is the cornerstone of the work that CSI does
  • Be a leader no matter your age, role, or status on a team
  • Trusting in others around you
  • How to not get discouraged in hard situations
  • “Just because we know Jesus doesn’t mean we’re fine with losing.”
