The Christian Athlete Paradox

Does God Call us To Work Hard?

How do we find the balance between rest and hard work? The Bible says a lot about both, but how do we know which one we need? In this episode, I sat down with Track athlete Jacob Snyder where we talk about what that balance looks like. 

Hard work seems to be a phrase athletes constantly hear, are pushed to reach, but find that enough is never really enough. And what about when our "rest" turns into 3 months of couch potato-ing. Does this balance even exist? 

In this episode, we find that the self-determination to accomplish a physical goal can be directly translated into the consistency that our walk with the Lord should have. We find that when we keep God at the center, He is the one who establishes our steps. Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths."
