Check out today's Wednesday Word from FCA’s Daily Impact Play:

NFL Coach Tony Dungy once said, “Mentors build mentors. Leaders build leaders. When you look at it closely, it’s really one and the same thing.” A mentor is a trusted advisor or influential leader. When athletes need help growing in their skills, they go to someone better than they are who has had hands-on experience in their sport. They seek a mentor that has an interest in building them up. And eventually, as they grow in their own skill, they can also begin to mentor and help develop younger athletes. It is a cycle of provision and help. This is how teams become great.

Jesus used this exact method with His disciples. He grabbed twelve guys and taught them how to become more like Him. He taught them how to pray, how to understand the Bible, what to do and what not to do, and even how to preach the Gospel. Jesus was their mentor. After Jesus died on the cross and rose again, He left His disciples with a message: “It’s your turn.” The disciples began to mentor and disciple those around them. This cycle continued repeatedly over centuries, eventually finding its way to me and you. Now, it is our turn!

God wants us to become mentors and also have a mentor. He knows His children need help, so He has designed a perfect plan. He has raised up leaders in our communities and churches to help lead us and grow us. These mentors hold us accountable, teach us about God, and help us in our hard times. After listening and increasing in our faith, God empowers and equips us to lead others younger than us. When we remain faithful to the cycle of sitting and listening, then going out and repeating it to another, we are not just mentoring but building up leaders for our teams, school, church, community, and beyond. The cycle began with Jesus, and now it is for us to continue.

Who is someone in your life you can ask to be your mentor?

Who is someone younger in your life that you can begin to mentor?

Check out today's Wednesday Word from FCA’s Daily Impact Play-

Have you ever seen a really good flop in a basketball game? Flopping is when a player intentionally falls or staggers, with little or no physical contact, to gain attention and cause an official to call a personal foul. Flopping became an art for a short time in the National Basketball Association. League officials and player associations complained enough to get it stopped. In 2013, the NBA instituted an anti-flopping rule where players are warned for the first flop and then given fines for other flops. Five flops in a game could get you suspended.

It should be a player’s focus and desire to play the game with integrity, intensity, fairness and with honest competition. The great benefit of sports is that it is played according to the rules, with genuine efforts to play that way.

It’s important to see that God isn’t the author of things like flopping. He is against all forms of cheating, dishonesty and deception. One of the important phrases given by God in the Bible from the verses mentioned above are to watch out for those who practice these things. The instruction is to beware of those who operate by planting seeds of deception and falsehood. It’s their purpose to create divisions and create obstacles among people and teams. God’s guidance is to avoid them and these things. Avoiding it on the court or in the game doesn’t mean to just stay away from flopping and trash talking players, but to avoid joining in those things.

Paul wraps up the warning by pointing out that cheating, dishonesty and deception – the obstacles and divisions – are contrary to what we have been taught. Coaches don’t normally teach their athletes to flop or trash talk. Why not? Because it is not part of honest competition. We need to avoid the things that are contrary to what we have learned from God.
