“How much larger your life would be if your self could become smaller in it; if you could really look at other men with common curiosity and pleasure; if you could see them walking as they are in their sunny sefishness and their virile indifference! You would begin to be interested in them, because they are not interested in you. You would break out of this tiny and tawdry theatre in which your own little plot is always played, and you would find yourself under a freer sky, in a street full of splendid strangers.”– G.K. Chesterton
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.

ReThink Alabama – Briarwood Presbyterian Church, PCA
I have spent a greater part of this decade working towards a singular vision. I want people in Alabama to understand their significance in God’s coming kingdom. Paul states that God entrusted him (and in a sense all Christians) with the gospel message. God chose us to be heralds of the gospel truth that Jesus sits presently on his throne as King of all kings and Lord of all lords. Apologetics, or the defense of the faith, is just the realization of this truth. We are all called to give this hope in a way and manner that does justice to the character of God the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. Tactical Faith stands ready to help prepare saints with the right thoughts and reasons for engaging the broken world. We were so happy to see our vision playing out at Briarwood Presbyterian April 21st and 22nd. Jay Shaw and Jonathan Woods, both employees of Briarwood, had a vision a few years ago where they would bring an apologetically themed youth conference. With the help of Stand to Reason, a California based apologetic ministry, Briarwood organized one of the most successful youth apologetic conferences in the South. Tactical Faith was honored to play a role as a sponsor and stand alongside Briarwood. We hope and pray that our state continues to amaze and we give God all the glory for it.
“The field prepared by our Lord is still open for work and workers. Please pray and think about giving to our ministry for 2017. We continue to equip the good people of Alabama with qualified training. Please partner with us as we share what G.K. Chesterton said was the gigantic secret of the Christian…the happiness found in only Jesus Christ.”
