What is it about Christian athletes we admire so much and what can we learn from their faith and example? Athletes Are Committed to Excellence. Join me as I sit down with @Dumkele.idehen to learn more about his identity in Christ on and off the field. Excellence in any profession is admirable, and the success of those who’ve labored to become the best at what they do reminds us of the words of King Solomon who wrote, “Do you see a person skilled in his work? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before obscure people” (Proverbs 22:29). Being an athlete is a commitment. Being a Christian is a commitment. Athletes love the game they play, and Christians love the one they worship. When combined, a love for showcasing the glorious gifts God has given athletes is displayed.
