While the temptation to question your level of effectiveness is real, Scripture calls us to recognize that everything we do matters. Paul speaks of this in 1 Corinthians 10:31 and today we apply that to our role as a coach.

Today on The Ultimate Ground Rules Podcast, I sit down with Lance Rorex, the head baseball coach at Silverdale Academy in Chattanooga, TN. Lance is a up and coming young coach who does things the right way and he shares his insight into developing and making disciples of young men.

Today the show celebrates 100 episodes and stops to reflect on the opportunity coaches have for eternal impact every day. An opportunity that we should give thanks for.

Good coaches want to be on the right side of any decision but how do we know what the right side is? A unique story in Joshua 5 seems to imply that we shouldn't be concerned about being on the right side but instead we should be concerned about being on God's side.

At times in our coaching journey we will be placed in a situation where we must stand firm against the culture at large or popular thought. We must do what is right. In the Old Testament, a man named Phinehas sets the example for us.

A new year provides new opportunity. In Proverbs 4, King Solomon provides wise words that will serve coaches well as they look to make a great impact in 2021.

The words of Paul in Colossians 3:1-17 remind us coaches that in a world of uncertainty, we can be certain.

Quite often we can fall into the trap of trying to be someone else but God has called us to be who He has created us to be. In order to be an effective coach, we must be ourselves.

All throughout his New Testament letters, Paul demonstrates his thankfulness and challenges us to be thankful, but are we?

Today we take a look at Psalm 23 and four principles it teaches that can help you become a wise and good shepherd to those under your care.
