The Complete Athlete: Colossians (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781929478811)

As a Christian athlete, you are entrusted with more than just developing your athletic skills-you are called to shape character and cultivate maturity in your life. The book of Colossians provides a blueprint for this task, as it reveals how the fullness of life is found in Christ. Paul's letter encourages you to grow into spiritual maturity, being "complete in Christ" (Colossians 2:10), where your identity, purpose, and strength are firmly rooted.

This study will guide you through the essential truths of Colossians, equipping you to not only lead on the field but also foster deeper maturity and Christlikeness in your life and the lives of those you influence.

The Complete Athlete will help you grow in wisdom, humility, and love. Through this study, may you come to understand better the sanctification process of putting off the old self and putting on the new self in Christ.
