Sunday Mornings with Coach John

Secular is my first language. Jesus is my second.

Every Sunday morning, I send one short email where the second language gets to speak. It's a story from my week and what I noticed in it through faith, usually with a laugh at my own expense. You'll start Monday reminded that the race you're running matters, and that you aren't running it alone.

A story you can finish before your coffee gets cold.

One honest look at it through faith, with no sermon attached.

A question to carry into Monday.

Usually a laugh, because life is hard and we need a little levity.

I'm John Whitt. Secular was my first language for most of my life.

Then my daughter quoted scripture at me over a church camp bill, and I had no answer. A few months later, two different golf partners asked me where I went to church, two weekends in a row. I thought, I think I'm getting a message.

Mercy found me at 52, on a Wednesday morning at a golf club. My honest reaction was, "You've got to be kidding me. That's been around my whole life?"

I'm still a late starter. I coach business owners during the week. On Sunday, I write about what I notice through new eyes.

"Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven."

Matthew 5:16

That verse is why I call it Lifeshine. You don't need to have it figured out to let your light shine. I don't.

Some Sundays are light. We laugh about the dog, or about the earth spinning at 67,000 miles an hour while I drink my coffee.

Some Sundays are heavy. A hard thing lands and won't move, and we sit in it together until a little light shows up.

Either way, you don't walk it alone.

Save your seat for Sunday.
