Resources for Character Coaches and Sports Chaplains - Faith & Sports

One of the requests I hear most consistently from character coaches and sports chaplains is for resources. Over the next couple of months I will be highlighting several different websites containing a wide variety of resources. Some have videos, some written resources, some are podcasts, and a couple have all those and more.

 

Another excellent site from the academic community is the Faith & Sports blog by Paul Putz of Truett Seminary of Baylor University in Waco, Texas, USA. Paul is one of the leaders putting together the 4th Global Congress on Sport and Christianity for late July, 2025.  https://blogs.baylor.edu/faithsports/

 

This blog contains a variety of resources including a listing of websites and blogs, podcasts, and a listing of books in various categories Paul recommends. Please check out Paul's site, it will serve you well.

Resources for Character Coaches and Sports Chaplains - Sport. Faith. Life.

One of the requests I hear most consistently from character coaches and sports chaplains is for resources. Over the next couple of months I will be highlighting several different websites containing a wide variety of resources. Some have videos, some written resources, some are podcasts, and a couple have all those and more.

Sport. Faith. Life. is a blog and a podcast that emerged from the Third Global Congress on Sport and Christianity in 2019. Chad Carlson and Brian Bolt, professors and coaches at Hope College and Calvin University, respectively in Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA. They bring a well reasoned, academic approach to a wide range of topics related to sport, faith, and life. Thus the title. https://sportfaithlife.com/

I find their discussion oriented blog to be interesting and challenging. These guys love God and they love Sport. These are my kind of people. Please visit their site, read the blog, and listen to the podcast. It will enhance your service of the people of sport.
