Iron Sharpens Iron: A Coach's Lifelong Mission for Christ | Ted Schultz | Ep. 002

Coach Ted Schultz couldn’t get high schooler Nate Safe to show up to a single FCA meeting. But he never gave up on Nate, because he saw something deeper. A decade after Coach Schultz shed a tear after his final game, that same Nate Safe surrendered his life to Christ, left the corporate world, and came on staff with FCA.

In this powerful and heartfelt conversation, Coach Schultz shares what it means to live on mission through coaching, how he came to faith, and how Jesus transformed both his and Nate’s lives through one seed, one player, one story at a time.

In This Episode:

1. The relentless faith of a coach who refused to give up on his athletes
2. Why Christ-centered coaching leaves a legacy beyond the scoreboard
3. The urgency for coaches to stand firm in a broken world
4. How God turned quiet seeds into loud stories of glory

Verse of the Day:

"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly." – John 10:10
