Bryce joins Bill and Paul to talk sports loyalties (yes, he's a Duke fan), ministry in the locker room, and how fantasy football can actually draw people closer to Christ. We dive deep into the 2025 NFL Draft, breaking down quarterback drama, the mystery of Shedeur Sanders' draft slide, and why NFL teams still struggle to evaluate talent correctly. Bryce The crew also talks about how NIL deals are changing the hunger levels of incoming NFL talent. This episode goes beyond Xs and Os—we explore how perception shapes opportunity, and why humility matters more than ever in sports and in faith. Bryce offers insights into living boldly for Christ even when it's uncomfortable, referencing moments from the draft that highlight how character can make or break an athlete's future. Plus: Mel Kiper hot takes, draft-night surprises, NBA replay frustrations, and why Seth Rollins announcing the Bears' pick was Paul's favorite moment of the weekend.

Have you ever thought of church as being intimidating to those who are new or returning to their faith? Today's Guest Mark Steller is helping fill that gap. Mark helped build Sports Ministry Integration, encouraging those who are not close to their faith, in an unconventional way. By finding a common ground in sports. But what can happen to your own faith, while working in a faith-based field? I am confident that hearing about his journey will encourage many. In this episode, you'll discover…  What is the key trait to winning at work and at home? (1:20) What Sports Ministry Integration is. (6:12) Leaving a successful career for the unknown. (12:54) Taking care of your faith, while leading others to theirs. (26:55)   Mark's Bio:  Mark has been married for over 20 years to his amazing wife Annie and they have two kids, Jackson, and Ellie. They live in Copley and have been since 2006 and have been attending Grace Bath Campus since 2009. His family has been blessed to be Life Group Leaders, Pre-Marital Mentors, and go on Missions trips. Volunteering for Sports Ministry was a passion which included Gameday and especially Grace Race. In 2022, Mark felt God calling him to leave the marketplace and join the Sports Ministry Department as the Director of Integration. If you're wondering, his sports team is the Cavs and like most people he loves bacon.  His go-to scripture is Proverbs 3:5-6 – Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Sports has a special place in so many of our hearts. We love the competitiveness, adrenaline, and passion that comes out of sports, but something that is undermined is how sports can be used for outreach, for finding friends (even a family), and the good that comes from playing with people that you may never meet otherwise. Today, we're talking about how we as Christian athletes can use the sports that we play and watch as a way of reaching out to people and using sports to relate with people within your community. Sports Ministry Enthusiast and Professional Speaker Duane Eger joins the show to talk about this intriguing, yet important topic, what he's learned about friendship through playing sports, and being inviting and inclusive with all who play sports. Listen as we discuss:Maintaining a Christian friendship mindset in the sports that we watch and playAn inspirational story of friendship found in sports from Jack Twyman and Maurice StokesWhy he has a passion for sports ministry and outreachSports being a way of reaching others of different values or beliefsHow athletes can step out of their comfort zone to be inclusive to anyone that they meet in sportsNew Segment: How do you see God in sports today?

“What starts here changes the world” -The University of Texas On today's show I sat down with Ashley Minor, The Fellowship of Christian Athletes Representative at The University of Texas. Ashley and I talked about all of my favorite things, Jesus, football, and the Longhorns. If you are a college student, have children in college or you're not in the college world at all, there is something for you in this episode. Ashley talks about the pressure student-athletes face and how she brings the gospel into their world. She also shares her testimony - how she came to know Christ through FCA and how God said to her, “You will work with FCA”. When she heard the call, she immediately changed her major to Sports Ministry. Ashley recently started her own podcast, Come Like A Child where she talks about, desiring more while in the waiting. If you know anything about Texas, you know their famous slogan, “What starts here changes the world”. While Texas may say those words for many reasons, Ashley says them from a spiritual view, every faith seed planted at UT will one day change the world. Press play, laugh with us, and be encouraged on your faith journey.Connect with JamieFacebook //  Instagram // YouTubeGET ALL THE LINKS FROM THE SHOW HERE
