Coach Morris McCoskey, or as most know him, Coach Mo has walked alongside athletes for over twenty years with Athletes in Action, shares his perspective on the impact of viewing the athletes he ministers to as not only sportspeople but as beings of infinite worth in God's eyes. Coach Mo, discusses his inspiring faith journey with spiritual revelation, deep-rooted in the wisdom imparted by his father and mother, and his enduring dedication to coaching and his ministry. His testimony are not just lessons in faith but in life that is well lived for the Lord.
The conversation goes into the locker room, recounting a transformative moment with an NBA player that exemplifies the unique spiritual connections that can influence both player and mentor. The story of David and Goliath gets a modern twist, reminding us all of the special armor within us, and the courage needed to heed the call of ministry in any arena.
Coach Mo opens up about the principles that anchor him: the integrity of the sport, the enrichment of its people, and ultimately, the honor of God. As we sign off, Coach Mo leaves us with a powerful message on Samuel’s biblical calling — an invitation to listen intently and act with a servant's heart. This is more than just a talk; it's a call to action, urging listeners to embody the spirit of dedication both on the basketball court and in the game of life.
