In this powerful and faith-building episode, we unpack a simple football lesson that reveals a profound biblical truth: the game is won when you begin with the Word. Just like every game starts with a kickoff, victory in life begins when you start your day, your decisions, and every season of your life grounded in God’s Word. Before the phone, before the emails, before social media — begin with the Word. Because when you begin with the Word, you end in victory. Rooted in John 1 and Luke 1:37, this message reminds us that the Word of God never fails — not in crisis, not in uncertainty, not in struggle, and not even in our weakest moments. Through powerful football analogies, this episode reveals: Why believers are called to play offense, not defense How God sometimes places you in “shotgun” — separation for preparation, not punishment The importance of spiritual protection, renewing your mind, and holding the Word close to your heart How to overcome life’s tackles without losing possession of your purpose Why your season of delay may actually be divine alignment How to hear God clearly and move forward with confidence The power of praise, faith, and obedience to outmaneuver the enemy Why 2026 is a year of forward progress, recovery, and victory You will be encouraged to go deeper in God’s Word, guard your mind, surround yourself with faith-filled believers, and trust that even when life tackles you, if you hold on to the Word, you will rise again. This episode is a call to step onto the field, stop playing defense, and advance with bold faith — because when you begin with the Word, run with the Word, and live by the Word… the Word wins.
