According to its website, Sportsfaith “is a Christ-centered ministry that is focused on introducing people to God through sports.
Our prayer is that God uses us to build a better team for Him.
He has already provided the playbook (Bible); SportsFaith simply uses articles, interviews, video, audio, and impact events to share His message and make a positive and God-honoring impact.
Visit often, share our mission, and help us make sure God is always calling the plays!
SportsFaith is the destination for Christian sports content, connection, and competition. Watch, read, and listen, then train, play, and win.
Take your plays from the Ultimate Playbook — God’s Word — as you turn your faith into action and help others do the same.
As a platform that elevates Christ through sports, we both create and curate content, equipping and mobilizing people to get on a mission in every arena of life.
Want to contribute, support, or provide feedback that can help us better share the good news of Christ? Let’s connect!”
Angel Szalonek is the CEO of Sportsfaith aside from being a coach and mentor to professional athletes who continuously seek enlightenment, guidance, and strength from the Lord.
Seldom do you hear faith and sports mentioned in the same breath or in the same sentence? They are though, a lot if you’re a professional athlete that wears their faith on their sleeve.
Stephen Curry, Tim Tebow, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (Lew Alcindor), Muhammad Ali (Cassius Clay), Tamir “Jewish Jordan” Goodman, Hakeem Olajuwon (Akeem Olajuwon), and Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf (Chris Jackson).
Hakeem Olajuwon would fast during Ramadan during the season playing for the Houston Rockets.
Tamir Goodman, when he was a guest of this writer on Sports For All said that he always wore his kippah while playing basketball.
A kippah is a brimless cap, usually made of cloth, traditionally worn by Jewish males to fulfill the customary requirement that the head be covered.
The 63-year-old mother of 3 has heard countless various stories of professional athletes from their faith being tested like the story of Job in the bible, to the Lord coming through for them in their darkest hour.
Sportsfaith uses sports to spread the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ through their podcast, events, and collaborations with professional athletes.
The talent that these athletes have is a gift, a gift from God and there’s no better way to reciprocate the giving of the gift than to praise and worship and praise and glorify the Lord through Sportsfaith conversations.
I guess you can say, they’re doing the Lord’s work.
