2025 Camp Theme: GLORY!
What Is Glory?
When you win a game, achieve an athletic goal, shine in a performance, or break a record, your natural response as a competitor is to want the credit and whatever reward is attached to that success. Another way you might describe it is “glory.” But it’s when you find yourself chasing glory that it becomes a problem. It puts you out of balance with God’s plan, which is to give Him all the glory for what He has done for you and through you. Learn how to go from chasing a glory that doesn’t last to living out the glory of God for eternal impact.
You don’t have to shy away from glory; you just need to reorient Who gets it.
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.
The coach and athlete story of Glory can be seen below:
Once Upon A Time… I strived for individual success leading to self-serving glory.
And Every Day… I lacked the ability to live up to the expectations placed on me.
Until One Day… God showed me He can do more with my surrender than my performance.
And Now… I reflect God's glory as a disciplemaker because I seek His Kingdom first.
Four Key Concepts of Glory
Within the overarching Glory narrative, we have four concepts that bring out the discipleship journey. Each concept concentrates on a smaller theme within the big picture and walks us through how to engage in these areas.
CHASING GLORY
When Christ resets my perspective, I'm free in Him (Isaiah 43:7)
REVEALED GLORY
I'm created for God's glory, not chasing my own. (John 1:14)
REFLECTING GLORY
God's glory is revealed to me through Jesus, and I can have a relationship with Him (2 Corinthians 3:18).
LASTING GLORY
When my hope is in God's lasting glory, I will seek His Kingdom first (Matthew 6:33).
