In this episode of the Lead On podcast, Jeff Iorg, president of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Executive Committee, discusses the role of competition in Christianity, reflecting on his experiences as the chaplain for the San Francisco Giants and broader ministry leadership. He argues that competition is healthy for Christians and can coexist with their faith. Iorg emphasizes that true competition is not about defeating others but maximizing one's God-given potential. He outlines four key principles: understanding competition's nature as an internal challenge, focusing on controllable aspects like preparation and effort, competing for an audience of one (God), and using competition to serve and uplift others. By adhering to these principles, Christians, especially athletes, can compete intensely while maintaining their faith and integrity.
