I recently asked some of our men and women's basketball players in their opinion, how successful is Montreat College in integrating faith into the classroom and on the field of competiton. Here are some of their responses:
- Montreat has been extremely efficient in their efforts of incorporating faith into every aspect of the schooling process; classes, athletics, extracurricular activies, etc.
- I don't think Montreat has been successsful as it should be at integrating faith in the classroom. In some classes it is easier than others.
- I believe Montreat has done a great job integrating faith in the classroom as well as on teh court and in the community.
- We pray before classes and pray after games. Convo and chapel help integrate faith as well.
- In basketball we do daily devotions and prayer.
I also asked what does being a Christian athlete mean to them. Here are some responses.
- For me, it means God first in everything you do, people second, and me last.
- I can show what being a Christian means by howI act on and off the court. Also, when I am struggling with something, God is always there to turn to for help.
- Being a Christian athlete means that I am held at a higher level on the court and constantly need to uphold the reputation of my team.
- It means to put God and my relationship with him first and represent him while being an athlete.
- It is an high honor to represent God in my playing ability.
- It means no matter what I do, I can praise the Lord.
- Being a Christian athlete is a way for me to live out my faith, while growing with my teammates and learning more about the nature of God day to day.
