Maranatha’s Baseball Coach Jodi Faithfull joins the podcast in a lively discussion of how the Lord used talents, desires, and passions to guide him to his current position. Growing up in Canada, where hockey dominated sports, he desired to be a strength and conditioning coach in the NHL. An internship at a state university and experience in various organizations allowed him to see that the demanding schedule of such work was not conducive to supporting a strong family life. He and host Dr. Matt Davis examine aspects of the job as a strength and conditioning trainer, the influence coaches can have with athletes, and ways to broaden that influence from mere physical development to spiritual cultivation. They also delve into Coach Faithfull’s bioethics course and how we should respond to escalating incivility in our society.
