More Than a Game: Living for What Lasts | Jordan Williams | Ep. 022

In this episode of Stories of His Glory, we sit down with Shiloh Christian head basketball coach, and FCA area representative, Jordan Williams to hear how God reshaped his understanding of identity, purpose, and what it truly means to live for something greater than the game.Jordan grew up with a deep love for sports and competition, chasing success and recognition like so many athletes do. But along the way, God began to reveal that performance, wins, and achievements could never fully satisfy.Through key relationships, moments of conviction, and a growing understanding of the gospel, Jordan began to shift from living for himself to living fully surrendered to Christ.Now, Jordan is passionate about using his platform to impact others by pointing athletes, friends, and those around him toward a deeper relationship with Jesus.His story is a powerful reminder that sports can be a platform, but they were never meant to be our identity.In this episode, Jordan and Ryne cover:Growing up with a competitive mindset and love for sportsChasing identity through performance and achievementThe people and moments God used to get Jordan’s attentionWhat it looks like to move from surface-level faith to real surrenderLearning that identity is found in Christ and not in wins or lossesUsing sports as a platform to impact others for the gospelThe importance of relationships and accountability in faithLiving with purpose beyond the gameVerse of the Day:"What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?" - Matthew 16:26_____Resources:💪 Learn more about FCA in North Dakota: https://www.fcand.org🙌 Support the mission: https://fcand.org/donate☕ Thanks to our sponsor: Copper Dog Waffles & Coffee – Mandan, NDCall to Action:If this story encouraged you, share it with a coach, athlete, or friend.🎧 Follow the show so you never miss more stories of how Jesus is transforming lives through the world of sports.🙏 Leave a review and help us declare the glory of Jesus Christ everywhere.
