WHEN IS IT OK?

Episode 010

In this episode, Trevor answers a question from his brother Scott, the birthday boy, on when it's ok to get out of the current game you're in, and get into a different game. He explores the benefits that God promises when we put Him first in our lives.

THE GAMES

Coach talks about the Summer Olympics, how great these athletes are, and what it takes to get to that level. More importantly, he talks about what it takes to run the race that God has set before you. Do you have what it takes?

WHAT HAVE I BEEN UP TO?

Episode 025

Well, this is episode number 25, and Coach thought that he'd let you know a little bit about how he, himself "Got in the Game" over the past few weeks. Through home projects, new ministry endeavors, and quiet time habits, Trevor has tried to take his own advice and be an encouragement to everyone by getting involved where he feels God is calling him. Thank you so much for joining us over the last 25 weeks!

USE YOUR TALENT

Episode 028

Coach dives into the subject of our talents, abilities, skills and passions. He explores where they come from, how we can use them, and what gets in the way of those things at times. Being that we’re image bearers of God and have the commandment to love God and love others, we can use our talents, abilities, and skills to accomplish just that. What talents or abilities do you want to develop in your life so that you may glorify God in it?

PRESENTABLE OR PREPARED

Episode 031

Coach dives into whether it's better to be presentable or to be prepared. He uses personal experiences and biblical references to explain which is better.

PUT UP OR SHUT UP

Episode 034

No more excuses! No more "reasons" why! Enough is enough! In this episode, Coach talks about how if you want something badly enough, or if you know that God is calling you to do something, you can't just talk about it! You have to make moves! If you don't, inevitably, you'll result to making excuses!

A LIFESTYLE OF THANKSGIVING

Episode 037

Coach talks about living a life in a habit of thanksgiving; having a grateful heart. However, it's not always the just the good that we need to be thankful for...it could also be for the times when things didn't quite go the way we planned it. Our gratefulness is directly related to our worship and praise towards the Father.

GOALS & COMMITMENTS

Episode 040

Coach talks about goals and resolutions in this week's episode, as well as the importance of our commitment to those important decisions.

PRAYER

Episode 043

We all have different ways that we pray; ways that are specific to our own personality and relationship with God. In this episode, Coach talks about a few reasons why prayer is so important in our walk with Him.

TESTIMONIES

Episode 046

A first-hand account of what God has, or is doing in your life can be a powerful influence in the life of both non-Christians and Christians alike. This week, Coach shares why testimonies are so important, and gives his own testimony on how he got to where he is today. What's your testimony?

EASTER

Episode 049

I love Easter. It’s my favorite holiday because it is a clear reminder of the gift of Jesus Christ in my life. In this episode, Coach talks about the timeline of Jesus’ betrayal, arrest, trial, death, burial, and resurrection. I hope that everyone has a wonderful, Christ-filled Easter.

INTEGRITY

In this episode, Trevor (Coach), introduces what he considers one of the core values that must be in place before we can ever “Get in the Game”...Integrity.

SURRENDER

From the beautiful city of Cancun, Mexico, Trevor speaks from his heart about surrendering your own will and pride and accepting help from others, and most importantly accepting God’s will for our lives.

PERSONAL HEALTH

Episode 008

Trevor gets personal with his own struggle with self-image and his struggle with soda. He pledges to take his own advice and "Get in the Game" by giving himself 6 months (by his 40th birthday) to be in the best shape of his life. But, to him, "best shape" doesn't just mean physical health, but mental and, most important, spiritual health as well. Trevor's vulnerability in this episode comes to the surface, as he is truthful and honest about his health.

NO EXCUSES

Episode 011

In this episode, Trevor goes through his process to get God's answer when contemplating ways to get in the game. He also gives biblical examples of people who heard the call of Jesus, made no excuses, and immediately left everything to follow Him.

IDENTITY

Episode 014

In this episode, Trevor explores the different names and roles that he carries throughout his day-to-day life. He compares them to the role he plays as a child of God and his identity in Christ.

WHO AM I DOING THIS FOR?

Episode 017

Trevor goes into more depth on the podcast's anchor verse, Colossians 3:23, and why our whole lives need to be devoted to being obedient to God, and our actions need to represent Christ and His glory. How we live our lives as Christians will be our testimony to our faith. Let's live out our lives for God and not for others!

Happy Father's Day to all you fathers out there! Your role as "father" is so important, and I thank you all!

ATTITUDE & EFFORT: BE COACHABLE

Episode 020

In this week's episode, Trevor talks about two of the most important things that you can control; Attitude and Effort. Attitude and effort can build upon each other in both a negative and positive way. These two things are overlooked more often than you think, so it's time to start improving our attitudes and increasing our efforts if we want to be successful in the game!

PURSUE

Episode 023

Coach talks about pursuing a godly life, what that means, and how we can do that. He gets his inspiration from the theme of a Christian sand volleyball camp that he was helping out with this week, and the talks he's had with the athletes and coaches there.

A TIME TO BE SILENT

Episode 026

In this episode, Coach talks about how sometimes it's best just to keep your mouth shut, and be silent. Trevor uses a lot of scripture in this episode to support the need for silence in our lives, from Psalms to Proverbs, to the Gospels, and even out of Exodus.

For reference here are the scriptures Trevor used in this week's episode: Romans 12:2, Exodus 14:14, James 1:19, Proverbs 17:28, Proverbs 29:11, Proverbs 11:12, Proverbs 13:3, Proverbs 18:13, Luke 5:16, Mark 1:35, Mark 14:61, Mark 15:1-5, Luke 23:9, Ecclesiastes 3:7 1, Peter 3:15 & 2 Timothy 3:16-17

BOUNCING BACK

Episode 029

Coach talks about bouncing back after a setback, lull, or slump in life, athletics, or our spiritual walk and gives some general ways we can help that process along to getting back to 100%. Sometimes life throws us a curve, and we don't always hit it out of the park. We have no choice but to continue to grind and bounce back! Please like, review, subscribe, and share so we can get the Gospel message to any and everyone we can!

HARD WORK

Episode 032

Coach is back, and he takes on a tough topic in "Hard Work". He describes the inspiration for this episode stemming from his trip to Cancun with his wife, and then he speaks on why hard work is so important in our lives.

BE BOLD / IN GOD’S TIMING

Episode 035

When it's time to make moves, we need to be bold! Take that step of faith in courage and confidence. Just remember that God's timing is everything when it comes to getting in the game. God's timing is perfect and we have to be ready when God gives us our marching orders. Be bold, be ready, seek out godly counsel, try something new! Get off the sidelines, stop making excuses, and GET IN THE GAME!!

FOCUS ON CHRIST THIS CHRISTMAS

Episode 038

We can so easily get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the "Christmas spirit". I know that I'm guilty of it from time to time. In this episode, I just urge you to stay true to the actual Christmas story (Matthew 1&2, Luke 1&2), and keep your focus on Jesus this year. Focus on what Christmas actually represents, the coming of our King, our Savior! Merry Christmas!

FORGIVENESS

Episode 041

In this episode, Coach sticks to one passage of the Bible (Luke 15:11-32), and uses a parable of Jesus as the basis for today's episode on forgiveness.

SEASONS

Episode 044

We all go through seasons in life; whether it be in athletics, personal life, business, or our spiritual walk. Coach talks about seasons today, and how we can get through them.

IS IT WORTH IT?

Episode 047

Have you ever asked yourself if what you're working for is worth it? It might be a hobby, sport, job, or project, but I know that I ask myself that question all the time. The real question is, "Is that the right question to ask?" This week Coach explores this topic with examples of his own experiences, and answers this question with scripture.

BE BOLD 2.0

Episode 050

It’s great to get back to the podcast after a short hiatus and vacation with a new determination to bring you sound godly content! In this week’s episode, Coach Dean revisits the topic of being bold for the Gospel of Christ in our respective purposes that God has called us to be in. Whatever those purposes may be, we can go with confidence, faith, and boldness to carry out our marching orders, knowing that we have the power of the Holy Spirit guiding our path.

TEAMWORK

Episode 003

Coach Trevor discusses four core benefits of teamwork, and why we should embrace teamwork before we ever decide to Get in the Game through examples from the Bible and his own personal experiences.

PASSION

Episode 006

In this episode, Trevor talks about Passion; what the word means and its origin, how it applies to our lives, and what the Passion of Christ means. This week is Passion Week in the Christian faith, and Trevor felt it appropriate to release this episode on Thursday, rather than Wednesday, because Thursday was the evening that the Last Supper was on and the night that the Passion started, which led to Jesus’ arrest, death, burial, and resurrection.

FAILURE

Episode 009

In this episode, Trevor talks about failure and loss in both sport and in life, and what God tells us through His Word to encourage us in the times where we feel like we've failed.

Episode 012: Transitions, the Church, and Jesus

Episode 012

Trevor picks up right where he left off last week with how to move on when God gives you a "Yes" to getting in a new game. It may not be as easy as you think. He touches on the support that the Church can give you and the importance of a relationship with Jesus.

LOVE OUT YOUR FAITH

Episode 015

This week, Trevor revisits a verse used in the last episode because he felt like he left the thought unfinished. He expands on that verse and moves to how we can best live out our faith as Christians in our own lives; through Love. If you haven't yet, please go back and watch/listen to episode 14 to get a little more context.

BEING A GOOD STEWARD / CONTENTMENT

Episode 018

Trevor talks about managing the resources that God has blessed us with so that we can bring Him glory, and bless others. Please give us a review and share this episode so that we can maximize the reach of God's word to others. Thanks for tuning in!

PUSHING THROUGH THE “NO’S”

Episode 021

Coach takes on the issue of pushing through the times when all you hear in your life is "no." When you're on God's path and will for your life, the world is gonna hate and try to discourage you. As a follower of Jesus, you should take this "target on your back" as a badge of honor, and push through to complete the tasks that God has for your life. The only confirmation that you need for your life is God's yes. Let's focus on Him, and lean on Him to get us through every aspect of our lives.

TOPICS THAT DON’T MATTER, & THOSE THAT DO

Episode 024

Far too often we get into worthless and unimportant conversations and/or arguments, and the truth is, they're wasting your time. In many cases, we get riled up and these conversations lead to division or resentment. But, the real question is, are we as passionate to talk about or debate the Truth of Jesus in our lives? Trevor explores that question in this week's episode!

LEARN FROM YOUR PAST

Episode 027

In this episode of the Get In The Game Podcast, Coach relives some hard losses as a player and how it shaped him as a coach. His example isn't just for athletics, however. In life, we need to learn from our past just as much as we may need to in sport. We'd love to hear from you!

3 YEARS!

Episode 030

Happy Anniversary, Brit! In this episode, Coach talks about marriage and the duties that men have in that relationship. He recorded this episode on the date of his anniversary 9/16/2021, so it was only natural that he speak about the joy he has in his wife; the good and perfect gift that God has given him!

TRAINING

Episode 033

In this episode, Coach talks about the importance of training our personal, professional, physical, and most importantly, our spiritual lives. Head on over to the website to view our videos, or to contact us through email or social media.

MORE COMPASSION

Episode 036

A feeling of apathy has been plaguing me for too long, and I needed to confess it, ask for forgiveness, and move on. I wanted to share my experience with you because I know how hard it can be to recognize sin in your life, or fail to realize what a hold it has on you, even if it seems miniscule. The good news is, for us Christians, Jesus has set us free from that bondage, and we don't have to live in sin any longer! Don't let the devil put you on the sidelines, let's Get in the Game!

DISCIPLINE

Episode 039

Coach is back after an unforeseen hiatus, but the passion is still in full effect! In this episode, Coach talks about his new found desire to be more disciplined in his life, and what the Bible says about being disciplined. It may seem like a hard road to go down, but with the Holy Spirit at the helm, a well-disciplined life is well within reach.

LEARNING

SELF-CONTROL
