“‘What you’re doing is not good,’ Moses’s father-in-law said to him.” – Exodus 18:17 The documentary “The Redeem Team,” shows a domino effect of influence surrounding the 2008 Gold medal-winning USA Men’s Olympic basketball team. Almost the entire team had gone out to party after practice until nearly dawn. When they were returning to their rooms, they met the late Kobe Bryant on his way to work out. Instead of going out to party, Bryant had gone to his room and rested for an early start the next day. Bryant’s teammates thought he was crazy, but by the end of the week, the entire team followed his example. Everyone has influence. We may not be a Kobe, LeBron James or Carmelo Anthony, but how we live and play sports can be an example to others. When Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses, visited the Israelite camp after they left Egypt, he got a first-hand view of how things were run. Jethro saw Moses judging and settling disputes from sunup to sundown. Jethro was concerned and encouraged Moses to reorganize and put trusted men over smaller groups to handle minor disputes, and then the larger issues would come to Moses and the Lord. When Jethro saw that Moses would wear himself out doing things the old way, he used their relationship to guide him to a better plan. That is influence. Matthew 12:34 says, “For the mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart.” What is in us, who we truly are, is revealed in our words, attitude and behavior – and they impact others. Use your influence to help others and point to Jesus wherever possible. Who has had the greatest influence on you as an athlete? Who has had the greatest influence on you as a follower of Jesus? When you consider that you’re an influencer for Jesus, what goes through your mind?

Titus 2:11-12 “For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age.” Application: Paul wrote to Titus, who was leading believers in Crete, a place known for moral corruption. God’s grace doesn’t just save - it transforms us. It teaches us to turn from sin and pursue holiness. In a world that promotes self-indulgence and a ‘me first mentality’, we are called to live differently. True obedience is not about striving but surrendering to God’s work in us. His grace gives us the strength to live with integrity and godliness. Let your life reflect His transforming power today.

Colossians 1:13-14 “For He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son He loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” Application: Salvation is not self-improvement - it is a divine rescue from darkness into Christ’s kingdom. As redeemed people, we no longer belong to sin but to God’s rule. This means we fight temptation not as slaves, but as those already set free. Our past no longer defines us, and neither does fear or shame. Today, walk in that freedom - make decisions, treat others, and pursue holiness as one who belongs fully to Christ.

Thank you Kevin! James 1:12 “Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.” Application: James 1:12 teaches that trials are not just obstacles but opportunities for spiritual formation. In the ancient world, crowns symbolized victory, and James uses this imagery to show that endurance in faith leads to eternal reward. For early Christians facing persecution, this was a radical encouragement—their suffering was not in vain. Today, we often view hardship as something to avoid, but James calls us to see it as a path to maturity. Rather than just enduring, we are being refined into people who reflect God’s character. This week, when facing difficulties, pause and ask: how might God be strengthening my faith through this?

Verse for today from Kevin. Live in peace knowing our Lord has got you covered. Thank you for the great reminder today! Psalm 4:8 “In peace, I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.” Application: When anxiety and fear try to steal our peace, this verse reminds us that true security is found in God alone. Rather than letting worries consume our mind, we can trust that He watches over us, allowing us to rest in peace. Tonight, surrender your burdens to Him in prayer, knowing that His presence is your protection. Resting well is an act of faith, so trust that He is in control and let His peace guard your heart and mind. Rest well.

Steve Hosey Bio Keynote Speaker Steve Hosey, has been a small business owner and former Major League Baseball (MLB) player, he has a deep commitment to the Fresno community because of the impact our community had on him when he was a young baseball player at California State University of Fresno (Fresno State). Although Steve grew up in East Oakland, in in a single parent household, Fresno has been his home and where him and his wife decided to raise their family the last 30 years. Our community had such an impact on Steve that during his Major-League Baseball career, when he played and coached for the San Francisco Giants and the Oakland Athletics, Steve and his family made Fresno their offseason home. In Addition to this Steve has served in his local church for over a decade in a leadership position and provided mentorship and guidance for young families in our community.
