Faith First, Academics Second, Athletics Third? with DBU Athletic Director Connor Smith

Athletes all around the world struggle with managing their time. While competing for Christ, excelling academically, and maintaining a life, athletes must be able to let Christ be in everything they do. But is there a specific order for these things?

 

Dallas Baptist University Athletic Director Connor Smith comes on the podcast to discuss this balance and what the proper “order” looks like for Christian athletes. His experience as an athlete and as an administrator at DBU offers key insight into how Christian athletes can balance everything that they have going on in their world. He also breaks down DBU's philosophy of athletics and how they practice what they preach to their athletes, recruits, and students.

 

With athletic experience and leadership skills, Connor Smith brings wisdom to a conversation that so many athletes have thought about: what comes first in my life? God, sports, or grades? We should continuously pursue Christ in everything we do, but how can athletes practically do this? Listen to find out Connor and Ken's conversation on this hard-hitting topic.
