About The Podcast
Since 1954, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) has been reaching out to schools to help young athletes build community, grow in their faith, and find an identity in Christ that transcends their accomplishments on the field of play. This week Paul Amos talks to two volunteers with FCA’s West Georgia chapter, area director Jonathan Karastury and Calvary Christian baseball coach Scott Donohoe, about FCA’s mission and how it tries to reach student-athletes and coaches alike. They also talk about their own experiences with sports and the defining moments that shaped their faith journeys.

A Christmas Message from The Redeemed
Christmas means something different for each of us. For some it’s full of joy. For others, it’s a hard and lonely season. No matter where you find yourself, we want you to hear this: You are loved, and you’re not walking through life on your own.
Paul Amos recorded a short Christmas message to speak hope, encouragement, and the truth of what Jesus’ birth means for us today. Praying this season brings you rest, joy, and renewed hope.
Take a moment to watch the message.
