Presented by Dynamic Sports Training (DST), this show delves into the deeper purpose of sports and how athletic journeys intersect with God’s greater plan—hosted by Noah Brogdon.Through this platform, we’ll share real stories from professional, college, former, and high school athletes, along with insights from coaches and spiritual leaders.

So run that you may obtain it. [25] Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we receive an imperishable. So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air. But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified."You’ll hear discussions on:Sports were created to build character and learn life lessons.

Ep. 03 | Finding Strength Through Uncertain Seasons with Stanley Tucker

In this episode of Crowns Over Trophies, Noah sits down with Stanley Tucker, professional baseball player in the Boston Red Sox organization, for an honest conversation about faith, family, adversity, and learning to trust God through uncertain seasons. Stanley reflects on growing up in a family deeply rooted in sports, playing both football and baseball throughout his childhood before eventually pursuing baseball at the next level. From the outside, the path looked clear — but during the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, everything slowed down. For the first time, Stanley found himself wrestling with questions about identity, purpose, and faith beyond the game. Throughout the episode, Stanley shares how isolation and uncertainty forced him to move from simply growing up around faith to developing a personal relationship with God for himself. He opens up about the role his family played during difficult seasons, the importance of staying grounded through adversity, and how honest prayer became a turning point in his spiritual growth. This conversation goes beyond sports, exploring what it looks like to trust God when the future feels unclear, remain rooted through disappointment, and find peace in something deeper than performance. Key Topics: • Faith during uncertain seasons • Identity beyond sports • Family, community, and support systems • Navigating COVID as an athlete • Honest prayer and spiritual growth • Trusting God’s timing through adversity This episode is a reminder that difficult seasons can either distance us from God or deepen our dependence on Him — and that true strength is often built in the waiting. Presented by Dynamic Sports Training (DST).

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
