Today's Coach is Michael Hill From Kansas. Coach Hill is a former High School Football Coach from Kansas.
We Have Plans and God Has Plans. When both of our Plans line up together we are Winners. Jeremiah 29:11
Strong Safety Amos said,

"Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so?" Amos 3:13
In the Book of Mark Jesus called the Play.
He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation."
Mark 16:15
In other words: "Give everyone the Good News in the Playbook."
The Jeremiah 29:11 Good News
The John 3:16 Good News ect...
In Acts Luke gave them instructions on how to execute the Game Plan. Acts 2:42
"They Devoted themselves to the Apostles' Teaching and to the Fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to Prayer."
Acts 2:42
Devoted is Such a Powerful Word! The definition of Devoted is:
"to apply to a certain pursuit, cause, etc."
1. Be Devoted Daily to one Play in the Play book.
2. Be Devoted to Hanging Out with the Right People. (Who is in your Huddle?)
3. Be Devoted to Breaking Bread with each other (your Huddle). Del Taco, McDonalds, Pizza ect...
4. Be Devoted to Praying with The Coach - Jesus every morning.
Here in Acts 2:42 there are Four Great Plays we can use to help us daily.
God has a great Plan and Playbook for our Lives.
Now it is up to us to Call the Play from His Playbook and with His help Execute in our own Lives.

The Plan Tuesday, February 22nd, 2011
READY:
"For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. -Jeremiah 29:11 (NLT)
SET: How many of us have ever started a practice, game or even a season without a plan? To me, that idea doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
As coaches, we have plans coming out our ears! I started working on next season just as soon as this season was over.
After all, I had to recruit in-coming freshman and encourage the returning athletes to come back. The last thing I wanted was for them to lose interest in being part of the team.
I am such a pack rat. I've kept plans I made for sports that I never even coached from the head coaching position. You never know when you'll be a head coach of a new sport someday, right?
You just have to be ready at a moment's notice. I don't know if you've ever read the FCA Coach's Mandate, or not, buts it has a phrase that offers something a little different. Line 12 says,
"Trust God to produce in my athletes His chosen purposes, regardless of whether the wins are readily visible."
This goes along with what God says in Jeremiah 29:11 (NLT): "'For I know the plans I have for you,' says the Lord. 'They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.'"
In this verse, we find a direct promise of God's sovereignty and faithfulness, yet we struggle to apply it to our coaching lives.
For years I thought I was sold-out to coaching for Jesus, but the attitude I had was a little different. I trusted God to provide for me and my family.
I trusted His plan for my life and that He would put me at the school He knew I needed to be at. But that was about where it ended. How arrogant does this sound?
"God, I know You are God. I know You love me and have a plan for me. I know all of this, but I've got this football thing. Don't worry about it.
I know what I'm doing." Really? Did I not think God could come up with a better game-plan than I could? Did I actually think I could break down game film better than God could? How stupid was that?
Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying we should stop watching film, stop having practice schedules or just wing it on Friday nights.
I'm saying that, since I thought I knew how to break down film better than God, I missed out on the first four years of my oldest daughter's life.
I was too busy being my own little football god instead of growing closer to Him in all aspects of my life.
The line from the Coach's Mandate says it is HIS chosen purpose in our athletes' lives; not ours. We cannot and are not supposed to be god in our player's lives. I beg you, don't try to be!
Grow your relationship with God and enjoy ALL the blessings He has given you, not just on the team He's given you.
GO:
1. Do you trust God in certain areas of your life, but not in others? Which ones and why?
2. What would it look like for you to trust God with 100 percent of your life?
3. How much time do you spend focusing on God?
4. If you are an athlete or business professional, how does this concept apply to you?
