265: SMI With Randy Youngling

From the little league fields to the professional courts, sports have a unique way of connecting people. Meet Reid Geddes, a man whose life journey beautifully intertwines a passion for sports with a deep spiritual foundation. Growing up under the shadow of a legendary coach and a sports-centered family, Reid’s story is one of perseverance, faith, and finding his true self amidst the challenges of high-level athletics. Whether it’s on the basketball court or in the courtroom, Reid’s experience speaks volumes about the power of staying true to oneself and the impact of mentorship in shaping lives.   Join us as Reid shares his incredible journey—one that began with dreams of playing for Texas Tech and culminated in three Final Four appearances, two national championships, and a lifelong commitment to sports ministry. Stay tuned to hear more about how Reid’s experiences at the University of Houston, and his faith, have inspired him to mentor others and make a lasting difference both on and off the court.   Randy Youngling serves as the Director of the Sports Ministry Institute, a unique initiative under Grace School of Theology and the Grace Center for Spiritual Development. With a deep passion for combining faith and athletics, Randy has spearheaded the creation of a 40-hour certificate program aimed at equipping both men and women to effectively minister within the world of sports. His work reflects a dedication to empowering individuals to serve through sports ministry, using his extensive experience to inspire others in their spiritual and professional journeys.   This episode is brought to you by Saving Grace, one of the many levels of learning at Grace Center for Spiritual Development (GCSD).   At GCSD, our vision is to develop spiritual leaders in every nation who can teach others about the love of Christ, a love that cannot be earned and cannot be lost.
