A Kingdom Athlete simply put is an athlete of the Kingdom of God. When you think about what an athlete is, you may find yourself thinking about your favorite sport and a certain player that performs well in that particular sport. No matter what sport you think about, when you break it down, there are some key aspects to what it will entail. There are teams, players, and usually some final event that those teams full of players are training for to win. No matter how great of an athlete an individual is, they won’t show up on gameday unprepared. They’ve spent weeks, months, most likely their entire lives training to be where they are now. They show discipline and desire to be great for themselves and for the team they represent. 

When we mention “training” our minds automatically go towards physical training, but being a good athlete isn’t just about training physically. There is more to it, just like how being Christian isn’t just about showing up to church on Sundays. 

Through our spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional well-being, we have the ability to train each day; to make life decisions that will glorify God. 

It’s the why behind how we train for everyday life.
