Help us celebrate Central Lakes FCA Ambassador, Amy Smith!! 🥳 Amy has done a beautiful job pouring into the female athletes at St. Cloud State since joining staff this year.

Be encouraged today by the Rosemount High School 9th Grade Softball Team! 🥎 Before the first pitch is thrown, these student-athletes regularly pause to pray together and invite their opponents to join them. What a beautiful reminder that sports can be a platform to point others to something greater. We love seeing student-athletes courageously living out their faith and leading with humility and boldness. #FCAProven

After last night’s game, Anoka senior, Meghan, (#48) courageously invited both the Anoka and Champlin Park girls lacrosse teams to come together in prayer. There is so much to be encouraged about with this generation on fire for Jesus! 🔥

Please join us in wishing a very happy birthday to Tom Ness (MN FCA State Director) and Debbie Adamson (Central Lakes Area Admin) today! 🥳 Tom leads our state so well because he intentionally seeks to stay in step with Christ through every aspect of his role. He prioritizes prayer, is deeply rooted in God’s Word, and leads with both tenacity and generosity. We are beyond grateful for the way he cares for our team, leads with purpose, and continually helps keep our focus on Jesus through sports. Debbie serves the Central Lakes area team so faithfully, primarily from behind the scenes. She notices the details, works with diligence, and is a true example of someone who works for the Lord, just as Paul instructs in Colossians 3:23: “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” We’re so grateful for both of you and the unique ways you serve the ministry. Happy birthday! 🎉

Happy Mother's Day from all of us at Minnesota FCA! 🤗💐

For the last couple of years, God has been working through people willing to take small steps of obedience - building relationships, making connections, praying, encouraging, and showing up consistently for students. What began with just a few students gathering during lunch has now grown into a twice-a-week FCA Huddle with more than 10% of the student body regularly involved! Students are stepping up to pray, share their testimonies, and lead their peers in God’s Word. “I had wanted something like this for years,” Adult Huddle Leader, Sarah shared. “I knew there was a hunger for God, and if I could help fuel that fire for Jesus while encouraging strong character in sports, it was worth it. More than anything, I want these kids to know Him personally and become champions for the King of Kings.” It’s been a team effort across churches, ministries, volunteers, staff, and students, and we’re grateful to see the fruit God is bringing through that faithfulness. 🙌 Read more at minnesotafca.org/youll-see #FCAStory #StoriesfromtheField #EskoFCA #NortheastMNFCA

Today, he continues to carry that passion forward through golf ministry across the Northland, including the Regional Sports Camp (northlandfca.org/sports-camp). Mike has a deep heart and bold vision to see lives changed by Jesus through the game of golf. #HappyAnniversary #FCAAnniversary #FCAGolf #Currynt

Ava's story is sure to encourage you today!! Northland FCA Sports Camp and LEADership Camp didn’t just shape Ava as an athlete. They changed the foundation of her faith. In the middle of pressure and anxiety, she learned that her identity isn’t in performance >> it’s in Christ. That truth gave her a new kind of freedom, one that showed up even in the biggest moments on the court. This is the impact of FCA camp ministry. 🙌 Read her full story at fca.org/fca-in-action/blog-detail/2026/04/21/fear--faith-and-free-throws And, learn more about Northland FCA Sports & LEADership Camp at https://northlandfca.org/regional-camps

After our international FCA teammate, Simon, was killed in a car accident in Zambia, the questions came quickly. Why would God take someone who was doing such impactful ministry? And why had He sent a team from the Northland FCA area there just days before? Through the loss of Simon, God began to reveal what He was doing all along. That trip allowed relationships to be built with local leaders, gave deeper understanding of the ministry, and positioned the team to encourage and support in a time of grief. Even in the details, like long-delayed uniforms arriving just in time for an Easter celebration, God’s timing proved faithful. What didn’t make sense at first became a clear reminder. God sees what we cannot. He is always working, even in loss. And He is greater than every question we carry.

Today we celebrate Administrative Professionals Day, and at Minnesota FCA, we are incredibly grateful for these 11 women who faithfully serve behind the scenes. These are not “just admin” roles. These are women who carry the mission forward every single day. They organize, support, communicate, problem-solve, and create space for ministry to happen. They are a steady foundation for everything happening out in the field. "From my own experience, I can honestly say we never feel like 'just admins.' We are consistently uplifted, trusted, and clearly valued by our field staff. It is a gift to use the skills God has given us to serve this ministry and support those on the front lines." - Tanja Hansen, MN FCA State Admin We are honored to play a part in what God is doing through FCA, and we’re thankful to do it together! Happy Admin Professionals Day to all of the administrative staff out there! #AdminProfessionalsDay #FCAProven

Sometimes you just need a 30-second timeout to refocus on what matters most. At our South Central MN Coaches Time Out Date Night last weekend, seven coaches and their spouses stepped away from the pace of life to do just that. The night created space to reinvest in their marriages, rest together, and renew their focus on Christ. Mike and Jenna, joining us from NW Iowa, shared encouragement from the story of Abraham and Sarah, pointing to God’s faithfulness in every season. They reminded us that when Christ is at the center, a marriage is strengthened, a cord of three strands not easily broken. Between dinner, meaningful conversation, and a little fun at the bowling alley, it was a night of connection, laughter, and intentional investment. ____ If a timeout can change the outcome of a game, what can Coaches TimeOut do for your marriage?

Jummy’s story is a powerful reminder that God often works through something as simple as an invitation. Growing up in a Muslim family, Jummy’s life changed when a coworker invited her and her sisters to Awana, opening the door for her to hear the Gospel and begin a lifelong relationship with Jesus. Years later, that same pattern continued as God invited her into deeper trust during a difficult season, leading her to step away from her job, surrender her fears, and depend on Him in a new way. That story came full circle when Jummy was invited back into coaching, and then invited to lead an FCA Huddle at Prior Lake. Her “yes” has helped grow a thriving, student-led ministry where students are welcoming others, sharing their faith, and discovering what can happen on the other side of an invitation. From childhood to coaching to campus ministry, Jummy’s story shows how God uses ordinary people and simple invitations to change lives.

Yesterday morning at Grace Church, we had the privilege of gathering for the Minnesota FCA Coaches Breakfast ahead of Arise with the Guys. Around 175 coaches and their sons came together for a powerful time of encouragement, connection, and truth. Southwest Metro FCA Area Director, Chris Strange, shared a moving story about a coach who invested deeply in his life, pointing him toward Jesus and walking alongside him through challenges in college. That relationship became a turning point in Chris’s faith journey. We also heard from Tony Dungy and Cooper Kupp, who both emphasized the lasting influence of a coach. Cooper shared how coaches in his life, along with Tony, modeled what it looks like to pursue Christ and challenged him to become not just a better athlete, but a man of God. Grateful for every coach who shows up, invests, and leads with purpose. Your impact reaches far beyond the game.

“FCA really was the beginning of my relationship with Christ. I was able to teach others about Christ and to bring others to Christ. Over the years I've been told by so many people they finally know who God is and they’re finally able to have that sort of relationship. I've been so grateful to have FCA because people have come to Christ through it." - Senior Ekong Dere from Mayo High School Ekong has been with FCA as a huddle leader at Mayo for three years as well as a past summer camps and has also attended the Northland FCA LEADership Camp. Jesus’s impact through her is already producing fruit and it has been incredible to see her growth as a follower of Christ these last few years! She graduates in a few months, leaving the new leaders trained to continue spreading the Gospel at Mayo High School. All honor and glory be to God! 🙌 #FCAProven #AthleteHighlight #FCAAthlete #MayoHighSchool

From chasing speed to discovering true purpose, Khanaila Kielo’s story is one of surrender, healing, and obedience. After years of finding her identity in track, walking through injuries, broken relationships, and deep personal struggles, Kielo chose to follow where God was leading, even when it meant stepping into uncertainty. Now, back in Minnesota, she’s helping restart the FCA Huddle at Apple Valley High School, creating a space where student-athletes can grow in their faith, be known, and walk through life together. Kielo is also in the process of coming on staff with FCA as an Area Representative and is currently in the fundraising stage to make that calling a reality. God is using every part of her story for His glory!

Alex Korir, junior at St. Peter High School and FCA participant, shares how one moment turned into lasting impact. After seeing prayer modeled at another school, St. Peter FCA Adult Huddle Leader Heather Gilbertson challenged him with a simple question: why not start it here? What felt difficult at first became a step of bold faith. Now, after every home game, Alex is helping lead prayer, giving God the glory in every moment. “It’s just a way for me to bring the Lord into my sport… win or loss, it’s all for Him.”

Happy Birthday, Cole! We are thankful for the passion and commitment you bring as you serve as an Area Rep in Southeast Minnesota. Cole has been part of FCA for many years, and his heart for using sports as a platform to share the Gospel continues to impact coaches and athletes across the region. Cole loves Jesus and loves sports, and he faithfully uses both to point others to Christ. We are grateful for the way he invests in the mission and the lives of those he serves. Join us in wishing Cole a very happy birthday today! 🏈

What started with just a handful of students has grown into a weekly gathering of 60+ at St. Peter High School. But the real story is not the numbers. It is the lives being changed. Students are inviting friends, stepping into leadership, sharing their testimonies, and boldly living for Jesus in their school and on their teams. In a place where faith can often feel isolated, FCA is creating space for real community and Christ-centered encouragement. “FCA has encouraged my faith a lot. I’ve gotten to share my testimony and helped lead Bible study with one of my friends… it’s really amazing to come into a public school and have the opportunity to be surrounded by the Gospel every week with your fellow students.” - Lyric Rybke, Junior This is what happens when students are equipped to know Christ and make Him known!

At FCA, we believe one of the most strategic ways to impact the world of sports is by investing in coaches. Because when a coach is transformed, the impact doesn’t stop with them. It reaches their teams, their families, and the communities they help shape every single day. That’s why FCA is committed not just to athletes, but to pouring into coaches, helping them integrate their faith in Jesus into how they lead, compete, and influence others. And we’re seeing that come to life in Minnesota FCA Golf. In two growing golf coach huddles, coaches are stepping out of isolation and into community. They’re opening God’s Word together. Learning from one another. Figuring out what it looks like to follow Jesus in the middle of competition, pressure, and leadership. Not just talking about faith. Living it out in coaching. This is where real transformation begins. 👉 Read the full story: https://www.minnesotafca.org/ministering-to-the-golf-coach #FCAGolf #FCAStory #StoriesfromtheField

Resurrection Sunday is not just a hopeful idea. It is a historical claim. The tomb was empty. The stone was rolled away. And people saw Jesus ALIVE! In Matthew 28, Mark 16, Luke 24, and John 20, you see multiple accounts of the same reality. Women at the tomb. Disciples running to see for themselves. Jesus appearing, speaking, eating, and being touched. These were not people expecting a resurrection. They were grieving. Doubting. Hiding. And yet, they became eyewitnesses. This is what everything hinges on. If Jesus truly rose from the dead, then sin is defeated, death is not the end, and everything He said is true. The question is not just what happened. It is what you will do with it. Visit https://resources.fca.org/resources/resurrection-sunday to go deeper! #HolyWeek #ResurrectionSunday #HeIsRisen #JesusIsAlive #Victory #EmptyTomb

Saturday is the quiet in between. Jesus’ body lies in the tomb, wrapped in linen with spices. Guards are posted. The stone is sealed. Matthew 27, Mark 16, Luke 23, and John 19 all point to the stillness of this day. For the disciples, this had to feel like the end. Everything they hoped for, everything they left behind to follow Jesus, now gone. Defeat. Grief. Silence. And yet, Jesus had told them. Again and again, He said what would happen. But in their grief, it was hard to see. We know how the story ends. They did not. They sat in the space between promise and fulfillment. We know that space too. The prayers that feel unanswered. The situations that seem final. The moments where it looks like God is silent. But, silence is not absence. And, waiting is not defeat. Even when it feels like nothing is happening, God is still at work. If you are in a waiting season right now, hold on. What feels like the end may not be the end at all. Visit https://resources.fca.org/resources/sabbath to learn more about the Sabbath between Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday. #HolyWeek

Good Friday is the heavy weight of the cross. Jesus is betrayed, falsely accused, and sentenced to death. He is beaten, mocked, and crucified. In Matthew 27, Mark 15, Luke 23, and John 18–19, we see it all unfold. None of it is random. None of it is outside His control. Jesus is not just a victim of injustice. He is laying down His life. On the cross, He takes on sin. He bears the weight we could not carry. He makes a way for us to be forgiven and made right with God. Then He is taken down, wrapped, and placed in a tomb. It looks like the end, but it is not the end. Take time today to reflect on the cost of the cross and what it means for you and visit https://resources.fca.org/resources/good-friday to go deeper.

Thursday of Holy Week holds some of the most personal and painful moments. Jesus gathers with His disciples for the Last Supper. He breaks bread, shares the cup, and tells them this is His body and blood, given for them. In John 13, He even washes their feet, taking the place of a servant. He knows what is coming. He knows who will betray Him. He knows the cross is hours away. Later, in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus prays in deep anguish. In Luke 22, He asks if there is any other way, yet still chooses, “not my will, but yours be done.” Then Judas arrives. Jesus is arrested. The disciples scatter. Through all of it, nothing is out of His control. Jesus is not being swept along by events. He is choosing the cross, step by step. For us. Take a moment today to reflect. What does it look like to trust God’s will, even when it’s costly? Visit https://resources.fca.org/resources/the-passover to dig deeper. #HolyWeek #MaundyThursday #LastSuppe

Wednesday of Holy Week holds two moments side by side. In Matthew 26 and Mark 14, Jesus is anointed in Bethany. A woman pours out an expensive perfume on Him. While others question it, Jesus receives it for what it is, preparation for His burial. He knows what is coming. At the same time, Judas goes and agrees to betray Him for money. Jesus knows that too. Nothing here is unfolding by accident. Jesus is not caught off guard. He is moving forward, fully aware, toward betrayal, toward suffering, toward the cross. And He does it willingly. For us. Take a moment today and sit with that. #HolyWeek #AnnointingatBethany #JudasBetrayal

On Tuesday of Holy Week, Jesus sat with His disciples on the Mount of Olives and spoke about what was to come. In Matthew 24–25, Mark 13, and Luke 21, He warns of deception, prepares them for trials, and points to His return. But His message is not fear. It is readiness. Through parables like the ten virgins and the talents, Jesus makes it clear. Do not drift. Do not be distracted. Stay faithful with what you have been given. Holy Week is not just about remembering what Jesus did. It is about responding to what He said. Are you living ready for His return? #HolyWeek #OlivetDiscourse

On Monday of Holy Week, Jesus did something that can feel confusing at first. He cursed a fig tree. In Mark 11, Jesus sees a tree full of leaves but with no fruit. Soon after, He clears the temple. These moments are connected. Throughout Scripture, a fig tree often represents God’s people. The problem was not the tree itself. It looked alive, but it wasn’t producing anything. Jesus was making a point about spiritual life. It is possible to look the part on the outside but lack real fruit on the inside. God is not just after activity or appearance. He is looking for lives marked by faith, obedience, and real transformation. Where is God growing fruit in your life right now? Share in the comments. #HolyWeek #FigTree

Today begins Holy Week --> the final week of Jesus’ life on earth, from His triumphant entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday to His resurrection on Easter Sunday. It is a time to reflect on His sacrifice, His love, and the victory we have through Him. As we walk through each day, may we remember not just what happened, but why it matters. Jesus gave everything so we could have life in Him. Which day of Holy Week stands out most to you right now, and why? Share in the comments. #HolyWeek #PalmSunday

Jesus Stories is an E3 tool purposed to create deeper conversations through Jesus' stories from Scripture. Jesus shared short stories - aka parables - which communicated spiritual truths in a relatable way. You can use Jesus stories to engage the hearts of others in these easy steps! 1. Create a lead-in sentence like, "Let me tell you a story..." 2. Share the Jesus story and emphasize the main points. 3. Ask pointed follow-up questions from the story. Watch the video for some practical examples that you can use with your team! #JesusStories #E3 #E3Tools #Parables #EngagetheHeart

If you’re a coach, you already know how full life gets. Long seasons, late nights, constant responsibility. It adds up. And often, the relationship that matters most can quietly drift to the background. That is exactly why the FCA Coaches Time Out Marriage Retreat exists. Southwest MN Area Director, Robin Knudson, asked Lac qui Parle Valley High School Activities Director, Zach Stelter, why he and his wife keep coming back to Coaches Time Out each summer in Duluth. His answer was simple and honest. “It has been one of the biggest blessings in our marriage.” And not because they were struggling. That is one of the biggest misconceptions. Many assume a marriage retreat is only for couples who experiencing a rough patch. Zach pushed back on that. He and his wife went to strengthen something that was already good. To be intentional. To build a foundation that will last for decades. Each year, CTO gives them space to pause and reflect. Not just on their relationship with each other, but first on their relationship with God. It helps them evaluate how they are leading their home, how they are communicating, and how they are showing up for one another. It also gives them something that is hard to come by during the season. Time. Time away from the noise. Time away from schedules and responsibilities. Time to actually talk, reconnect, and reset. For Zach and his wife, with two young boys at home, that time has been incredibly valuable. You step away for a few days, but the impact does not stay there. It comes home with you. Picture this. A few days on the shores of Lake Superior. Time in God’s Word. Encouraging sessions. Great food. Meaningful conversations. And unhurried time with your spouse to reconnect and move forward stronger together. “There is really no downside,” says Zach. If you want to invest in your marriage, your faith, and your future as a coach, this is one of the best decisions you can make.

Happy Birthday, Anna! We are so grateful for the way you serve as the East Metro FCA Admin Assistant. Your faithful support behind the scenes helps equip and encourage our Area Reps as they minister to coaches and athletes through huddles, camps, and events. Anna is a steady and trusted presence on the team, and her gifts have played an important role in the growth of FCA in the East Metro over the past few years.

"Heart Questions" is an E3 tool that aska questions to engage someone's heart. Impactful statements followed by meaningful questions can initiate spiritual conversation in an instant! For example: Impactful Statement - "God is really teaching me about the importance of rest as an athlete." Heart Question - "What important lessons are you learning right now?" These questions engage more than the mind - they speak to the soul. #E3 #E3Tools #HeartQuestions

Huddle Leaders are the heartbeat of FCA Camp! These high-impact leaders dive into camp, walking alongside campers and fueling their growth in both faith and sport. From huddles to daily challenges, they’re in the action - cheering, guiding, and encouraging campers every step of the way. If this sounds like something God is calling you to this summer, email Jonny or Ellie to get the conversation started! Guys, email Jonny P - jpeterson@fca.org Ladies, email Ellie - emichaletz@fca.org #FCACamp #FCAProven #SportsCamp #LEADershipCamp #HuddleLeader

Happy Birthday, Rod! We are grateful for the passion you bring to the mission as you step into serving with FCA Hockey in Minnesota. Rod has a heart for seeing athletes encounter Jesus right where they are, especially in the hockey community where busy schedules often pull players away from church and youth group. With a deep love for the game and an even deeper love for Christ, Rod is working to help bring the Gospel to the rink through mentorship, discipleship, and faith centered hockey opportunities. His vision is to see hockey players across Minnesota grow not only as athletes, but as followers of Jesus. Join us in wishing Rod a very happy birthday today! 🏒🎉

How can you teach someone to pray? Ephesians 6:18 guides us through 5 ideas around prayer: 1. Pray - a two-way conversation with you and God, where both speak and listen. 2. At all times - no moment is too small or big to bring before God. 3. In the spirit - prayer is led by the Holy Spirit within us. 4. With every prayer - communicate with God on a deeper level using the ACTS Prayer Model (Adore, Confess, Thank, Supply) 5. And request - receiving blessings from God and trusting Him with our needs. #FCAE3 #Pray #Ephesians618 #PrayerPattern

Happy Birthday, Nick! We’re grateful for the way you serve as our Northwest Metro Area Director and for the impact you make investing in coaches and athletes across the area.

What began with about 10 students meeting together has grown into a thriving FCA Huddle of nearly 60 at St. Peter High School. Heather Gilbertson never imagined leading a sports ministry. A music teacher by background, she simply followed a desire to be present with students and share her faith. Over time, God used her willingness to build relationships, mentor student leaders, and create space for prayer and Scripture. Today the Huddle fills the choir room twice a month, with additional student led Bible studies happening on the other Fridays. Students are inviting their friends, growing in boldness, and pointing each other to Jesus. "One of my favorite things about it is, I can bring people that know nothing about God, know nothing about Jesus, and we can bring them there and teach them," says one student. "And they can learn so many things from FCA - and that just gives them their support system.” It is a reminder that when students are hungry for truth, God often uses ordinary faithfulness to spark something extraordinary! Thank you for your obedience, Heather - we are praying for God to continue working in and through the St. Peter Huddle!

Happy anniversary to these six Minnesota FCA teammates this March! 🥳 Leah Sandoval - Twin Cities Collegiate Admin Ben Jacobs - Southwest Metro Area Rep Debbie Adamson - Central Lakes Area Admin Kaycee Toninato - Twin Cities Metro Admin Chris Hunt - Northwest Metro Area Rep Michelle Backes - Minnesota Lynx Chaplain Thank you, Jesus, for calling these incredible people to ministry with FCA. Thank you for equipping them and empowering them to spread Your Good News to coaches and athletes with their unique giftings! We are eternally grateful.

Last week, over 2,500 FCA staff and spouses from around the world gathered together in Orlando, FL for Realtime - an event focused on FAITH, FELLOWSHIP, and FUN! If you ask any of us, you'll likely hear that this event is catalytic in our lives and our ministry. We were blessed by anointed speakers who preached truth, filled up by incredible worship leaders with Life Church Worship, and encouraged by fellow teammates who shared uplifting stories about what God is doing in and through the ministry of FCA worldwide. If you know an FCA staff person from MN that was there, please reach out and ask them what they learned! #FCARealtime

We are looking for a certain kind of leader - and you probably know one. Someone who loves Jesus deeply, understands the influence of sports, and has a gift for building and empowering people. The kind of person others naturally follow. A leader who thinks beyond programs and sees discipleship, multiplication, and long-term impact. We are looking to hire an Area Director in South Central MN, a role focused on growing ministry across a community by equipping coaches, volunteers, and staff to reach coaches and athletes with the Gospel. If someone comes to mind as you read this, would you tag them, share this post, or send them this link >> https://bit.ly/scmndirector #TeamFCA #MNFCA

Christian community changes everything on campus. “Christian community at college takes a house into a home. I came for football and ended up staying because FCA and the impact it had on my life.” – Mason Carver, Senior, Football, SMSU At Southwest Minnesota State University, FCA meets student athletes where they are. There is a huddle for nearly every team, and athletes from across campus also gather together in a large group huddle with more than 100 student athletes from all sports. Through leaders opening their homes and teammates walking through life and faith together, FCA creates a community where athletes are known, supported, and reminded they are part of something bigger than themselves. This is FCA. #SMSU #SMSUFCA #FCAProven #FCACollegeMinistry

Happy Birthday, Mike! 🎉 We are so grateful for Mike and the way he serves as the FCA Golf Director in Minnesota. His deep love for the game of golf, paired with his heart for sharing the Gospel, makes a powerful impact on the athletes and coaches he serves. From decades of coaching and teaching to investing in the next generation through FCA Golf, Mike brings excellence, humility, and joy into everything he does. It’s incredible to see how God has woven Mike’s story together, from encountering Christ through FCA Golf as a student to now leading and shaping golf ministry across Minnesota. We are thankful for his faithfulness, his passion for discipleship, and his excitement to use golf as a platform to point others to Jesus. Mike, we hope your birthday is filled with celebration and encouragement. We are blessed to have you on the team and pray God’s continued blessing over you in the year ahead. ⛳

Happy Birthday, Ron! 🎉 We are so grateful for Ron Backes and the way he faithfully serves as our MN FCA Coaches Ministry Strategist. Ron truly thrives in his role, helping our staff minister to coaches with wisdom, clarity, and purpose. He deeply understands the unique influence coaches have on their teams, campuses, and communities, and he is passionate about equipping them with the Gospel so they can lead and pour from a filled cup. Ron brings a lifetime of experience in athletics, leadership, and faith into this ministry, and his steady commitment since 1999 has strengthened FCA’s impact across the state. His heart for discipleship, encouragement, and walking alongside coaches is a tremendous gift to our staff and the coaches we serve. Ron, thank you for your faithfulness, your servant leadership, and your obedience to God’s calling. We are blessed by you and pray God’s continued favor and joy over you in the year ahead.

Happy Birthday, Gavin! 🎉 We are so grateful for Gavin and the way he faithfully serves as our East Metro Area Rep. His heart for ministry, love for the Gospel, and passion for investing in coaches and student-athletes is evident in all he does. Gavin brings such a genuine sense of joy and fun to the ministry. It’s truly impossible not to smile when he’s in the room. We are thankful for the way God is using Gavin to build relationships, share the hope of Jesus, and create spaces where lives can be transformed. Gavin, thank you for the joy you bring, your servant heart, and your eagerness to follow where God is leading. We pray God’s blessing over you in the year ahead.

When life gets tough, it can be tough for us to keep going. We may start enthusiastically in our relationship with God, but our true beliefs and commitment are often revealed when we face trials. Committing to Christ becomes hard when we are left out, made fun of, face temptation, feel rejection or like we do not belong. It seems easier to throw in the towel, walk away, and commit to an easier way of life found in the world. Jesus meets us in these hard moments. �The cost is great, but committing to Jesus from the beginning and watching Him move in our hearts and lives, is even greater. #FCAProven fcaproven.org/commit

We have a choice about what we spend our time on, how we spend it and to whom we give it. We’ve committed to God’s team. We’ve cultivated our faith to receive God’s love more and become more like Jesus. Now, will we choose to love like Jesus? �God wants you to love your coaching staff, teammates, team manager and everyone involved in the program. It’s not by accident that you are together. But you can be certain of one thing: God has you where you are, with the people you are with, for however long you are with them, so that they can experience God’s love for them through you. #FCAProven fcaproven.org/choose

FCA LEADership Camp is definitely one of those mountain-top experiences that you won't want to miss. Our desire is that each campus would send 2 student-leaders to LEADership Camp Thursday, July 30th - Sunday, August 2nd at the University of Northwestern, St. Paul. You'll leave with an abundance of resources to bring back to your local FCA Huddle and a full heart & soul ready to make disciples of Jesus through sport! >> northlandfca.org/lead-camp #FCAProven #FCACamp #FCALEADershipCamp #NorthlandFCA #linkinbio @northlandfca @northwest_wi_fca @wisconsinfca @fca_centralwi @ncwi_fca @southdakotafca @northdakotafca @southeastmnfca @swmnfca @mnfca_central_lakes @fcaupnorth @eastmetrofca @fca_northmetro @fcamnwestmetro @fca.evhs.rhs @fca.erhs @osseofca @fca_goodhue @fcahastings @maht_fca @buffalomnfca @marshallmnfca @newpraguefca @pinecityfca @princeton.fca @pineisland_fca @prep_fca @priorlakefca @park.fca @rockfordfca @stillwater_fca @springfieldmn_fca @wbl__fca

Nobody becomes exceptional at their sport by accident. It requires spending countless hours in the gym, weight room or on the field or court. The athletes who consistently grow are the ones who are consistent with their habits. A relationship with Christ works the same way. Nobody has a strong relationship with Christ accidentally. It requires the same amount of dedication and discipline as coaching or playing a sport. Whether that’s reading your Bible, stopping to pray in the middle of your day or opening your heart and eyes to see God in the moment, you are training in godliness. �Make sure you are always remaining in the presence of God. It cultivates our faith and deepens our dependence on Him, for our good and God’s glory. #FCAProven fcaproven.org/cultivate

In the fast-paced world of sports, it’s easy to get caught up in the game - the noise, the pressure, the crowds, the stats, the wins and the losses. Every day, it feels like everyone needs something. This pace can lead to burnout, frustration and a desire to check out. God’s plan is for us to remain connected to Him and to one another. He sent His Son to restore our relationship with Him. God’s love is not performance-based; it is proven out through His pursuit of us and giving of His Son, Jesus. �As we stay connected to Christ, He changes us from the inside out, and we bear fruit that lasts through every season. The fruit we bear (love, joy, peace, kindness, patience, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control) proves we are His disciples. We need Him, and we need His people. When connected to Christ, we can lead our family, our team and our community. May this be a season of moving from disconnection to connection—not just with the game, but with one another and Christ. #FCAProven fcaproven.org/connect

Happy Birthday, Adam! 🎉 We are so grateful for Adam and the way he serves the South Central area of Minnesota with faithfulness and joy.

God is clearly at work through his obedience and willingness to follow wherever he is led. Adam, thank you for your devotion to the Gospel and your heart for the people you serve. We are thankful for you and pray God’s continued blessing over you in the year ahead.

Happy Birthday, Randy! 🎉 We are celebrating an incredible teammate today. Randy currently serves as the Regional Director of Ministry Advancement for the Northland Region, and somehow has been on staff with FCA for 45 years while not even being that old. We are still trying to figure out how that works. 🤔 Jokes aside, we are deeply blessed by Randy’s wisdom, faithfulness, and steady obedience to God’s calling on his life. His willingness to pour into others, support teammates, and give of himself so freely has strengthened Kingdom work across Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, and South Dakota. His impact reaches far beyond titles or roles and is seen in the people he encourages and equips every day. Randy, thank you for your example, your servant heart, and your lifelong commitment to this ministry. We are grateful for you and pray God’s continued blessing over the year ahead. Please join us in lifting Randy up today! 🥳

Today we remember Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. - a man who led with faith, courage and conviction. His life reminds us that following Christ means standing for justice, loving boldly and serving others with humility. As leaders and athletes, we are called to reflect that same light in our communities. “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.” May we live out our faith through love and action. #MLKDay

Happy Birthday to our South Metro Area Rep, Chris! 🎉 We are so grateful for Chris and the passion he brings to serving coaches and student-athletes throughout the Southwest Metro. His heart for the next generation, his love for Jesus, and his belief in the powerful role coaches play make a lasting impact every day. We’re thankful for the way God is using Chris to advance the Gospel through sport. Chris puts it best himself: “I know the impact a coach can have on a player… God used coaches to influence my life, which has changed the trajectory of how I live out the Gospel. I want nothing more than to be a part of that impact. FCA provides a space for student-athletes to discover the very presence of God through their sport.” Chris, we pray God blesses you richly in the year ahead. We’re thankful for you and honored to serve alongside you!
