NEW INFORMATION
Sharpened: A Savvy U Midweek Word for Coaches
Coach Needs a Coach(Wednesday)
“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” – Proverbs 27:17
Coaches spend their lives developing athletes—but who is investing in the coach?
Sharpened is a free, open Bible study created to offer a life-giving space where college, professional, and Olympic coaches can be strengthened, encouraged, and supported as they walk out their faith in the high-pressure world of sport. As a longtime chaplain, I’ve seen firsthand that real growth and lasting transformation don’t happen in the spotlight—they happen in quiet moments with God and trusted community.
This is a no-prep, no-pressure, no-shame study.
There’s no homework, no reading required ahead of time, and no expectation to speak. We’ll open Scripture together, walk through it in real time, and grow side-by-side.
This isn’t about having it all together.
It’s about showing up, opening God’s Word, and being sharpened together.
What you’ll find
