Sin couldn't hold Him. The grave couldn't stop Him. This is our victory - Christ Jesus, risen and reigning forever. "Death has been swallowed up in victory... Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!" - 1 Corinthians 15:54, 57 (CSB) #HeIsRisen #TeamFCA #VictoryInChrist #EasterSunday

Although it was more than a week ago, I continue to reflect on the the Victory Dinner 2025 (and want to share pictures!). It was a blessing to gather together, not only to raise funds for the ministry but also to share in powerful stories of hope, transformation, and God's unwavering faithfulness. We are deeply grateful to all who attended or joined us in prayer. The financial goal for the evening was exceeded and because of your support, lives are being changed - and God's kingdom is growing. A special thank you to our State Director, Nate Safe who hosted the evening, to Brian Conklin for his support & leadership, to Bismarck-Central FCA for sharing their ministry highlights with us in video form, to Dawson VanSickle for his incredible testimony, to Coach Grant Olson for living out Christ-like leadership, and to Logan Kopp for sharing his joy on stage. We are excited for what God has in store for North Dakota FCA! Check out this highlight from Bismarck schools that was shown during the event: https://fcand.org/what-is-fca

Help us welcome Austin Bettenhausen to the FCA Team as Area Director for the Fargo SE Area.

What’s the truth we want coaches and athletes to experience this year? You were created to reflect God's glory. When you give God the glory instead of seeking your own, the weight of pressure and expectations placed on you is lifted. Go from chasing your own glory to reflecting Christ's lasting Glory that never fades. https://fcaglory.org #fcaglory

FCA's 2025 ministry theme is here! This year you'll learn what it looks like to go from competing for MY GLORY to HIS GLORY! What are you chasing? Championships, fame, fortune, love, acceptance? All of us are chasing something that we believe will ultimately fulfill us and cement our legacy. At some point, we will find that these things still leave us empty and weighed down. This year, let's chase Someone and not something. In 2025, let's discover a GLORY that never fades, that frees us to go all out on and off the field to reflect love and hope for others! Become grounded in your identity: ➡️ Dive into God's Word with the 4-day "Glory" devotional. ➡️ Receive monthly, impactful content. ➡️ Get your free "What Are You Chasing?" book here ⬇️ https://fcaglory.org #FCAGLORY
