Christianity in College Athletics with Athletes in Action Indianapolis Team Leader Matt Williams

Being a Christian in this world is never an easy task. As a college athlete, living out your Christians beliefs on the field, classroom, and life can be even harder. With so many different things coming at college students nowadays, how does one rely on Jesus and fellow believers to go against the crowd?

Matt Williams, Clemson graduate and Athletes in Action Indianapolis Team Leader, joins the show today to talk about what it means to live out your faith as a college athlete. As Matt comes in with a great testimony and a love for Jesus, family, and sports, he works with college students every day and his knowledge on this subject is apparent in this conversation.

Throughout our chat, Matt gives great advice for all Christian college athletes out there, including:

  • How Jesus can use ANYONE to spread the Gospel
  • What college athletes can do to live out their faith on their teams
  • Shifting our gaze to Christ
  • Advice for freshman athletes
  • How athletes can maintain friendships, community, prayer life, and more in college
