Pro beach volleyball player Avery Drost tackles the foundation question: How do you share faith with someone who doesn’t even know there’s a Creator?

Why understanding God as Creator changes everything about competition

Description: Professional beach volleyball player Avery Drost joins us to explore Acts 17:24-28, where Paul explains God as Creator to the philosophers in Athens. Before we can fully receive the gospel, we need to understand who made us and why we’re here. Avery breaks down why this foundational truth changes everything about how we view our abilities, competition, and purpose as athletes. Through Discovery Bible Study, we dive deep into what it means that “in Him we live and move and have our being” and how this reality should shape every aspect of our athletic journey.
