Verse of the Day:

"Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness[d] be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."- Philippians 4:4-7

Hosted by Ryne Jungling, Stories of His Glory explores the profound intersections where faith meets competition. This isn't a podcast about winning games, but about the personal transformations that happen when individuals in the world of sports encounter something greater. You'll hear directly from coaches, athletes, and Fellowship of Christian Athletes staff as they share unscripted conversations about the moments that defined them-stories of unexpected hope, resilience forged through loss, and the quiet impact of a life lived with purpose off the field. These narratives move beyond simple inspiration, offering tangible glimpses into how faith shapes character, leadership, and community in the high-pressure environments of athletics. Tuning in provides a space for reflection, whether you're deeply involved in sports or simply appreciate hearing about authentic human journeys. The Stories of His Glory podcast connects the universal themes of struggle and triumph to a deeper spiritual context, making it a unique listen for anyone interested in personal growth, spirituality, or the untold stories behind the scores. Each episode feels like a candid locker-room talk, focusing on real-life application and the ongoing journey of faith.
