What if the greatest influence in a young person's life isn't a parent, teacher, or pastor—but a coach?

On this powerful episode of Beyond the Huddle, Central Arkansas FCA welcomes longtime college football coach Ken Collums, who shares how three decades of coaching became a ministry of developing men, not just athletes.

Coach Collums reflects on growing up in Texas, playing championship football at UCA, meeting his wife of 30 years, and discovering that coaching is one of the greatest platforms for eternal influence. From leading Bible studies with players to taking entire football teams to men's conferences during fall camp, he shares unforgettable stories of lives transformed through authentic relationships, intentional discipleship, and Christ-centered leadership.

The conversation also explores:

• Why coaches have a unique opportunity to shape future husbands, fathers, and leaders
• The importance of living authentic faith instead of simply talking about it
• Lessons on marriage, family, and balancing the demands of coaching
• How FCA is equipping coaches to impact generations beyond the scoreboard
• Why every believer should see themselves as a steward—not an owner—of the people God places in their lives

Whether you're a coach, athlete, parent, pastor, or anyone passionate about leadership, this episode is a compelling reminder that true success isn't measured by championships—it's measured by lives changed for Christ.
