Kickin' It with Mike, Episode 2: Train like a Champion

What happens in the practice that no one sees shapes the moments everyone will. Just like professional soccer stars who take hundreds of practice kicks long before game day, Pastor Mike highlights the power of quiet, consistent training in Scripture. It’s in those unseen reps that our faith is formed and our instincts are shaped. Because when the pressure comes, we won’t respond by chance—we’ll respond based on how we’ve trained in private. #worldcup #christianathlete #soccer #faithinsports Series Description: Pastor Mike Novotny has loved soccer his whole life. And in this series, he brings that passion onto the field in a whole new faith playbook. Kickin’ It with Mike follows Pastor Mike from Time of Grace as he shows what it looks like to live out your faith in real, everyday moments—not just on Sundays. From sidelines to daily conversations, it's all about seeing how your faith can move with you wherever you go. Find even more questions at https://timeofgrace.org/.
