Rivalry week in North Georgia isn't just about "clean old-fashioned hate" between the Dawgs and the Jackets, it's also about what God is doing on both campuses.
In this special Thanksgiving episode of the FCA North Georgia Coaches Podcast, recorded at Longstreet Cafe – Riverside Terrace in Gainesville, My Country 99.3 WCON Host Joel Williams and North Georgia FCA Area Director Clint Fair sit down with:
GT Chaplin, David Snell – Area Director for Georgia Tech FCA, longtime Buford coach, and chaplain to the Yellow Jackets football program
UGA Chaplin, Thomas Settles – Area Director for UGA FCA and chaplain to the Georgia Bulldogs football program
Together they talk about:
How FCA opens doors for real ministry inside two major college football programs
What discipleship, Bible studies, and "ministry of presence" look like for coaches and players
How they navigate social media noise, pressure, NIL, and short football careers with an eternal perspective
The surprising ways players and coaches stay connected long after their time on campus
Why Thanksgiving week and rivalry week are such powerful times to point athletes to Christ
You'll also hear some great stories about weddings, team chapels, late-night film sessions, and how these chaplains keep their own families grounded in the middle of a hectic football season.
Presented by Longstreet Cafe – fueling North Georgia (and a whole lot of FCA ministry) with two Gainesville locations.
