& I are excited for the opportunity that the Lord has provided. There aren’t many places in college football where you can pursue Jesus & win championships, and
@BelhavenFB
provides that!
The foundation is strong and healthy to pursue excellence in all areas of life!

Michigan HS Sports have done everything they were asked to do. They controlled the controllables. Safety has been done in competitions. And in the end, politicians destroyed these kids’ dreams/goals.
@WheatonFB
is and always will be about these:
1. Love Jesus
2. Academic Excellence
3. Championship Football
Don't want to compromise any of these? There is only 1 place with this

I used to laugh when People would ask, “Is this a committable offer?” because every offer that Ive been apart of has been for the player to accept.
When schools offer 50+ players in 1 day, you really do have to ask yourself, “Is this a committable offer?” or a Social media ploy.
So grateful for the work that
@MAsagunla
and
@Brade_Ice
have done for

Happy Birthday Charley! It doesn’t seem real that it’s already been 1 year. You are full of life and energy; always keeping us on our toes. God has blessed us greatly with your laugh and smile. Remember, Jesus loves you, daddy loves mommy, mommy loves daddy, and we love you.
Schools/conferences that have canceled are still asking the fall athletes to practice and train on campus, but yet it’s not safe enough to play? It’s no longer about facts and data, but instead about perception and negative peer pressure.
When being recruited by a school, are you just a number that will meet an admissions quota for that school or are you a legitimate member of the program? Make sure we are building authentic relationships during this process.
The Gospel has been watered down to the point where people think they love Jesus, but in reality they love the idea of Jesus; the concept of Jesus. A true relationship with Jesus will make us different and outcasts of this world.
This guy has earned everything he has been awarded this Fall. He works hard, highly talented, and cares deeply. Excited to see him continue to grow over the next 12 months for

The recruiting process is all about evaluating people.
When talking with Coaches/Players and Visiting Campuses, you are not evaluating the Facilities, Location, or even Uniforms. Those may play a part, but you ultimately pick the people you trust.
Excited for this class!

was made known throughout the Great Lake State.
Goes to show that the decision makers were not making decisions based on facts, but instead on ‘other motives’.
Before 1776, governments DID NOT believe ALL people had “certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness”. This Declaration began the greatest Human Experiment ever, lets continue to fulfill the dream.
Over the past 5 years I have had an incredible amount of young men that I have been able to coach. I am so proud that two of them will be playing together again next year for an incredible coaching staff.
