Editor's note: This is a very handy resource for youth workers who speak at FCA, Christian clubs, or to sports teams. 

Sharing character-based devotional topics with sports teams is a great way to offer Jesus to student-athletes in your area. Establish a relationship with a coach and gain access to the team for pre-game or weekly talk. Then, use these 10, ready-to-go, field-tested team devotional talks. 

Think about your role as a missionary who is being sent by God into the school mission field. This resource will help you form talks to share with school sports teams.

Each topic includes two messages designed around a common theme. You can teach these topics in order, or pick and choose from the topics covered.
