The 100th anniversary of Eric Liddell's stand at the 1924 summer games is an opportunity for the body of Christ to reflect on the meaning of laying down one's life for the gospel.

Playing Through the Pain: Dressed for Battle
As a young father of two precious children, he lost his wife to a brain aneurysm. At that point, he had to learn to stand on his knees. Tommie Harris Jr. was a chubby kid, a high school athlete, a college football All-American and an NFL star. He learned to play through the pain at every level. This plan is the second of five in the series.
Average Joe
High school football coach Joe Kennedy was always a fighter. A childhood in foster care followed by 20 years in the Marines was nothing compared to his biggest battle: his commitment to stand for God by taking a knee in prayer after each game. When he was fired, Joe knew this battle for religious freedom and the rights of all Americans was one they would have to fight—no matter the cost. Based on the movie AVERAGE JOE, this Plan reminds us that the battle is not physical but spiritual, and our greatest weapon is our faith in God.
