Shepherding the Sidelines with GVSU Athletes in Action Campus Director Steve Anderson

Steve Anderson is the Athletes in Action Campus Director for Grand Valley State University. As he has poured intro athletes for years now, he lives out what it truly means to disciple athletes through relationship building, community, and servant leadership. Throughout his life, he has endured a lot of hardship and struggles, but through it all has found how God has used those trying times for good.

Steve joins the show today to talk about his unique role at GVSU, his love for sports ministry, and how he has seen God move on GVSU's campus. During our discussion today, we talk about:

• The best part of working with young people through sports
• How athletes can know that God has a job for them for His kingdom, even outside of sports
• Why he started the blog Shepherding the Sidelines
• How he's seen God move through losses, on and off the field
• What he's learned about longevity in his ministry efforts and life
