Athletes hear it all the time:
“Leave it all on the field!”
“Leave it all on the court!”
So what about this:
“Leave it all on this life. For Jesus. For the King.”
I’m talkin all out!
With every fiber of your being
Leave it all on this life
For the one true King,
Jesus Christ!🙌🏼
Truly humbled by this opportunity God has provided for me, to serve Jesus Christ, through coaching football at MTSU!
Thank you Coach Mason and Coach Paschall for bringing a small town boy back to Tennessee!

If I have kids I won’t force them to be Christians, but I will show them by how I live every single day that nothing in this life is more important than pursuing a relationship with Christ.
It’s overdue but today, I need to publicly thank God for providing for me. Even when I often showed such little faith. He has provided me an opportunity to coach football this fall for the UAB Blazers. I am truly blessed! 1 Chronicles 16:8-14

Never seen 3 players simultaneously giving all the glory to God at one time after a game. Very proud that they play for my alma mater. Congrats
@Vol_Hoops

@RickBarnesUT

Success is...When you get to Heaven and hear The Creator of the Universe, The Omnipotent, The Most High, The King of kings, The Lord of lords, The Great I Am, The Alpha and The Omega, The Everlasting and only Living God say, “Well done my good and faithful servant, welcome home!”
A daily prayer of mine includes:
“Where ever You lead Lord, I will go. Mold me and make me into the man You want me to be.”
I am humbled by the door God has opened for me, to serve Him, thru coaching football at The University of Louisiana!

One of my friends, Ellis Watson, just sent me this photo, taken today at a petrol/gas station in Jackson, Tennessee.
It's not a joke.
This is modern America: a country where guns = free coffee.
And where children get regularly blown to pieces at school.
When you pray and ask God for growth...
Make sure to thank Him for the rain just as much as you do the sunshine.
Both are equally needed to answer your prayer.
#thisisfaith
This is it!!!
Your EFFORT and FULFILLMENT
will always be as TEMPERAMENTAL or CONSISTENT as the source that is fueling them.
Friends & family will always let you down but when Jesus is your SOURCE your JOY will be everlasting.
1 Corinthians 9:24-27
I’m back!!!! Thank you Lord for the opportunity to impact and build the men of tomorrow in the community that help mold me. On the hunt!

Life is like a Special Teams Meeting.
With tons you’d like to review but only the time to cover what’s most essential.
I’d feel guilty not covering what’s important for game day…
But immensely worse for not sharing Who is important for judgement day.
(Ezekiel 33:1-9)
With God...
Weaknesses become Strengths 💪
Struggles become Blessings 🙌
No one teaches a lesson better than the person who struggled the most to learn it.
“What’s GiG?” I get asked that a lot, and I love getting to say it stands for “God is Good”.
I’ve been wearing these bracelets since I played for Tennessee and I think it’s a great…
Living my life righteously, faithfully, in love with God doesn’t guarantee bad things won’t happen.
But it does give me confidence that no matter what happens God is using it to work for my good!
“...all things work together for the good of those who love God...”
Romans 8:28
“Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders, let me walk upon the waters wherever You would call me...” What a great thing to pray for! I’ve heard this song “Oceans” by
@hillsongunited
many times, but today God made it hit home like only He can. Definitely worth a listen!
Calling yourself a Christian but not truly living to follow Jesus is like a week old hamburger steak calling itself Ruth’s Chris. Ppl take a bite and say, “Gross 🤢”. Then, years later, when someone actually tries to take them to Ruth’s Chris they say, “No, I don’t like it.”
Following Jesus is to strive each and every day to NOT allow worldly consequences to dictate your actions.
Romans 6...we are slaves to who we obey.
“...the Lord answered me and set me free.
The Lord is on my side;
I will not fear.
What can mere mortals do to me?”
Psalm 118:5-6
Satan knows your name but he calls you by your sins.
Jesus knows your sins but He calls you by your name.
“…thus says the Lord,
He who created you, O Jacob,
He who formed you, O Israel:
"Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by name,
you are mine.”
Isaiah 43:1
There are only 2 ppl that you NEED to meet in this life. And you can only meet them in this order and that’s:
1. God
2. Yourself
Everyone else is an extra blessing to thank God for everyday.
“Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say, “I find no pleasure in them”—”
Ecclesiastes 12:1
I remember when I was in high school and college I had one Christian song on my music library. “Our God Reigns” by Brandon Heath.
Wasn’t ever a song I skipped as fast or as often as that one!
But Our God Reigns! And Jesus changes hearts!
I am forever indebted to Him! 🙏🏼
Embrace your place and you will see your purpose.
God may have bigger and better plans for you, but He has you right where you are RIGHT NOW ... for a REASON and a PURPOSE.
Embrace your place and see your purpose.
If you have prayed asking God for your Faith to grow ... look forward to your next adversity because that will be your next opportunity for God to answer your prayer.
“Gentlemen, there are 3 guarantees in life:
Death
Taxes
& starting an American football game with a KICKOFF…
& we have THE PRIVILEGE!”

Sooo which policy is it that we’re supposed to put over 1,700+ babies aborted after the 20 week mark in New York City alone. In a single year alone. And will you feel remorse if Biden doesn’t implement that policy? Or if that policy just sounds good but ends up not doing good?
Making Gains 💪🏼
Physically ✅
Mentally ✅
Spiritually ✅
We are not surprised by physical pain for physical growth.
We expect to sacrifice lots of time for mental growth.
And yet, we are perplexed when…
Worldly filters distort our perception of Truth to justify our personal preferences.
Make God filter 1
“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God...”
Romans 12:2
#nationaldayofprayer
There is no comfort like the comfort of Jesus Christ!
Let Him be your redeemer and not only will He rescue you, but in doing so He will show you how to comfort those around you!
Read 2 Corinthians 1:3-5
An intriguing prospect out of UAB, Jordan Smith (
@Jshmoov1
) measured 6'6 1/8" and 255. Was comfortable with his hand down or from a standup. Terrific off the edge.

It’s been one big shadow to a lot of us.
But something to know about shadows...
They are proof, there is Light!
“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.”
Psalm 23:4
