MEN OF STILLE and Tactical Faith

Tactical Faith began providing audio/video support for the Men of Stille podcast, produced by Jeremiah Castille and his sons Tim and Simeon. Through this partnership, we have also begun working to help with the Jeremiah Castille Character Camps. Matt and Travis have attended the camps to capture media, assist with interviews, and to begin work on curriculum to provide further training and long-term planning for coaches both before and after the camps.

The Castille Character Camps are times of intense training in the various elements of football as well as a 7-on-7 tournament, led by former and present college and NFL players and coaches. Beginning the day and throughout there are times of rest in which one or more of the leaders gives a brief testimony and calls the students to follow Christ through adversity and success.

The Jeremiah Castille Foundation puts on two or three single-day camps in Alabama during summers, and one two-day camp in North Carolina. The last camp in NC drew almost 1000 football players, who experienced great coaching and mentoring from a collection of men who are seeking to follow Christ in their professional and personal lives. It was inspiring to see the strength of character and to hear the messages these players and coaches were offering the students.

Partnering with Jeremiah Castille, and his sons Tim and Simeon, in their various ministries has been a great time of supporting and learning from the great work God is doing through them in an area that can be tough for many of us to pierce.

What to do with the time given us?

Filed Under: Announcements, From the Board, Shalom

“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo.
“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

Things are not nearly as dark for us as they were for Frodo and Gandalf. We can honestly say it is a wonderful time to be a Christian in Alabama!  As ambassadors of Christ we live in a free society that allows us the opportunities to worship without fear of government intrusion.  Even with a secular culture permeating the core of our Christian culture, we are still blessed to be in a country that allows us to learn and promote our worldview in the marketplace.  How long will this freedom last?  I have no clue and this is not the time or place to initiate that type of conversation.  However, I want us to take advantage of our present circumstance here in the deep South.  We have an unprecedented amount of resources at our disposal to learn about everything and anything in relation to our Christian faith.  Even now, I am looking at my bookshelves that are bowing under the pressure of all the books I have collected and used over the years.  I wonder with so many educational riches, if will we be held to a higher standard when we finally see Jesus?  What will be our excuse when we must account for our own spiritual formation and evangelism to others that are not Christian?   Are we equipping ourselves to take on the intellectual challenges of today’s age?  Here at Tactical Faith we are embarking on a new era of action.  We have a renewed sense of urgency about us and we want to be there for our brothers and sisters in Christ!  We want to be a para-church organization that helps the Church educate its members.  We want to be a reminder to the church that intellectual growth must be worked out along with spiritual and character formation. Since 2011 we have striven to bring the very best resources to our state and in many cases we were successful in implementing our mission. Now at Tactical Faith we want to do that and so much more. 2019 will be a fun year for us.  We have so many great resources that we want to share with you!  Please prayerfully think about coming along side with us as we work towards equipping the saints.
