Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth and joined us at the Glazier Clinics FCA Lunch last weekend!
Minneapolis is just one of the 26 clinics that Glazier conducts annually. Frank Glazier is a strong supporter of FCA and provides a free vendor table for local FCA staff at each of their clinic locations for which we are so grateful!
At the booth, FCA staff from the Northland Region (MN, WI, ND, SD) engaged with coaches, provided a listening ear, gave spiritual encouragement, and shared many resources to help them grow in their faith. Some coaches are long-time followers of Jesus, and some were completely new to learning how to coach by Biblical principles, motivated by the love of Jesus and empowered by the Holy Spirit.
At the lunch, we were blessed to hear from former head football coach at South Dakota State University, John Stigelmeier. He retired a year ago, capping off his 44-year-long career with a National Championship. John has long supported FCA and credits FCA with changing life, where he committed to follow Jesus at an FCA coaches breakfast.
John was really on his game on Saturday as he unashamedly professed his faith in Jesus and inspired all in attendance to put Jesus number one in their life. He shared many other wonderful lessons:
>> Praise loudly and correct quietly.
>> Be who you are.
>> Accept and celebrate who your players are.
And, most importantly:
>> Commit your life to Jesus.
He shared that Jesus will change your life, your family's life, and your player's lives.
We had around 80 in attendance, and MN FCA Coach Strategist, Ron Backes, concluded the lunch program by sharing the Gospel. Several coaches commented how God touched their lives at lunch, and one coach made a decision to give his life to Jesus! 🙌 That's what it's all about. We praise God and give Him glory for the entire weekend. Also, please pray for this new brother in Christ and that he would be willing to be discipled by a local FCA teammate.
Thank you to all the FCA staff from the Northland region who came together to make this a true team effort!
