The FCA Guy Podcast
Welcome to The FCA Guy Podcast where we talk sports + faith. Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) is a faith-based ministry to coaches and athletes.
Our Mission: To lead every coach and athlete into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and the local church.
Each week, I will interview local coaches on a segment we call "Coffee with Coach". During this time we get to know the coach in a casual environment. From time to time, I will interview special guests that have a great testimony and impact in my life or the lives of others.
This is a good space to hear from coaches and be encouraged. Each podcast should be approximately 20 +/- minutes - enough time to enjoy during your daily commute.
