- Book 7 of 7: The Fruit Of The Spirit Series
Christian coaches and athletes experience significant spiritual growth and transformation, referred to as “fruit” in the Bible. This comparison to fruit-bearing is fitting as these changes reflect the work of God’s Spirit within us, producing new behaviors and attitudes. The ultimate goal of this transformation is to bring glory to our Heavenly Father. This transformation is so significant that it is compared to a rebirth, affecting our motivations, curbing sinful habits, and initiating new, righteous ones that will last a lifetime. The Fruit of the Spirit Series explores these changes more thoroughly through its nine-book study series.
Self-control is all about establishing boundaries, living purposefully, and doing so with active accountability. Coaches and athletes need to be alert and attentive to sins and temptations which are common to man. Therefore, they are aggressive in their pursuit of knowledge and invite others to speak truth into their life. Self-controlled coaches and athletes are disciplined as they focus on the eternal rewards promised to them by God Almighty.
