Giving God the Reins of Your Life with Former NFL and Collegiate Football Coach Mark Ridgley

Giving God the Reins of Your Life with Former NFL and Collegiate Football Coach Mark Ridgley

If I asked you if you’ve given God full control over your life, would you be able to say yes?

On this episode of the Competing for Christ Podcast, we are talking with Mark Ridgley, former NFL and collegiate football coach. Mark has coached at a couple of different places, but most recently coached with the Los Angeles Chargers for a number of years. As we talk with Mark about his coaching career and his life as a Christian in sports, we focus today on giving God the reins of our lives. This is difficult for everyone in this world, as most of us like to keep control over what goes on in our world. 

Jesus says in the book of John that he is the vine and we are the branches, meaning that we must give Him control so that we can have life and abide in Him. Here are some topics for our conversation today:

  • How Christ has affected Mark's life and his career in sports
  • His love for coaching football and what he experienced in the NFL
  • What he has learned about giving God the reins
  • The struggle between contentment and wanting more
  • Prioritizing Christ in a fast-paced world
