Does God's Plan Guarantee My Win? What No One Tells Christian Athlete
Olympic sprinter Ronnie Baker addresses a poignant question from a listener on his podcast 'Defeat Is Optional.' Baker dives deep into his personal experiences, emphasizing that true victory lies in faithfulness to God rather than just winning medals. He shares his 2021 Olympic journey, the struggles of unmet expectations, and the realization that God's plan is about heart transformation, not merely athletic triumphs. Through biblical references and personal reflections, Baker encourages athletes to realign their motives, maintain obedience, and remember their worth in Christ, urging them to prioritize their spiritual relationship over worldly achievements.

I represented team USA on thebiggest stage in the world.
(00:03):
The Olympics.
It was the most pivotal momentof my life, but not for the
reason.
You might think.
I'm Ronnie Baker, your favoriteOlympic sprinter and Christian
mentor discipling you on how tonavigate your faith in your
sport.
In today's devotional, we'regonna be answering the questions
submitted by Johann Perez, 1219,and he asks this question, what
(00:25):
do you do when you areconsistent with the Lord, but
you fail to run how you hoped?
That is a good question, Johann,and we're gonna dive into that
today, and if you want to getinto the action and have a
question answered on the defeat,it's optional podcast, you need
to run over to the defeat.
It's optional Instagram page.
Give me a follow because I dopolls in there pretty frequently
(00:47):
and maybe your question will getselected and I'll create a
devotional specifically for you.
So lemme tell you guys my ownpersonal story.
In 2021, I represented team USAon the biggest stage in the
world.
The Olympics.
It was the most pivotal momentof my life, but not for the
reason.
You might think.
So what do you do when you'reconsistently walking with the
(01:08):
Lord, but you still fail to runhow you hoped and maybe you fail
to run how you hoped over andover and over again.
So let's be honest.
Here's the question that'sbeneath this question.
It's like peeling back thelayers of an onion.
The question that's beneath thisone is, if I do everything right
with God, shouldn't he reward mewith a win?
Right, and to every athletewho's thinking that, let me
(01:32):
speak truthfully and lovingly,that's a distorted view of what
it means to follow Jesus.
In 2021, I thought I had it allfigured out.
I had been trying for six yearsto make a world or Olympic team.
But it seemed like every year Iwas either injured or I just
came up short.
When it was time to pick theteam, I just couldn't run fast
enough that day.
(01:52):
But in 2021, I was healthy.
I was devoted.
I was reading my Bible, I waspraying, I was honoring God, and
I kept telling myself, if I canget to this, meet healthy, if I
can get to the, Olympic trialshealthy, I'm going to make this
team.
So I thought, this is it.
God saw my faithfulness.
Surely he's going to reward it.
And in a way, guys, he did.
(02:13):
I made the Olympic team.
I stood on the world's biggeststage.
I was ready, I was focused, Iwas confident.
I had won almost every raceleading up to that moment.
Throughout the entire year.
I knew that on the other side ofthis medal, on the other side of
winning this Olympic gold medalwas everything I'd always
dreamed of.
More financial security,notoriety, fame, the feeling of
(02:35):
finally making it beingfulfilled and satisfied that all
my hard work had finally paidoff.
And I almost felt like Ideserved it at this point in my
career.
I had been working so hard.
I watched all my other peers getmedals, but little did I know
God wasn't looking at all thathe was looking at my heart.
When you tie your relationshipwith God to results on the
(02:56):
track, you reduce him to aperformance manager and not a
savior.
I started treating God like agenie.
Kind of like this.
If I rub the bottle the rightway, he'll come out and he'll
grant me a wish.
And if the wish doesn't cometrue, you start to question if
he's good at all.
You may be thinking, I thoughtGod was supposed to give me the
desires in my heart.
(03:17):
I or I prayed and asked and Goddidn't come through for me.
He must not be able to doeverything like everyone always
says he will.
But here's the biblical truth.
Let's look at Daniel three.
Daniel three is a story ofShadrach, Meshach and ab
Bendigo.
And in Daniel three, when thesethree men were threatened with
the fiery furnace, they said,our God is able to deliver us.
(03:37):
But even if he doesn't, we willnot bow.
They didn't worship God to getsomething.
They worshiped him because he isworthy.
Yeah, and that's the shift thatwe as athletes have to make.
This is the shift that I'm stillmaking.
It's time that we get thisstraight and we start seeing God
through a correct lens as asavior who isn't concerned with
(03:58):
your athletic results, but he'smore concerned with you, with
your salvation and yourwillingness to follow him, which
requires transformation at aheart level.
And guys, this is hard becauseyou have to kill your flesh,
which means we have to acceptthe fact that God will allow
things to happen in our sportthat don't seem fair If it means
(04:20):
saving you.
God doesn't promise outcomes.
He promises himself.
And Christianity is not aformula.
It's not pray.
Plus hard work equals win.
Jesus doesn't say, follow me andwin.
He says, follow me and I willmake you new.
So here's what I learned, themindset I had been living in
that said God was supposed toanswer my prayers with a win is
(04:40):
what led me down the path ofdepression.
After 2021, I sank into this.
so hear me when I say there's aspecial place in my heart for
each and every athlete that'slistening to this, that has
animosity towards God because oftheir lack of success, Because
I've been there and I've livedit.
I had this lingering ache thatwhat I hoped for these things
like financial security,notoriety, and fulfillment from
(05:04):
all the hard work paying offthat stuff still hadn't come.
And I was getting frustratedwith God.
I was getting frustrated withmyself.
I was showing up to practice.
I wasn't missing days.
I would get there early.
I would leave late, I wouldpray.
I would do the things that Ifelt like were the right things
to do.
And I always kept asking myself,why is this not working?
(05:24):
Why didn't it pay off?
And then my mentor hit me withthe truth.
This is the truth.
And the truth will set you free,is that Jesus didn't say, do the
right things.
He said, follow me.
In Matthew four, Jesus called toPeter and Andrew who were
fishermen.
They weren't scholars, theyweren't elite, they were just
ordinary men.
And he said, follow me.
(05:46):
In Jewish tradition, this waseverything.
It was the dream to be called bya rabbi.
It meant you were chosen.
It was in that day like beingdrafted to the NFL.
When you watch the NFL draft,They talk about these guys'
dreams coming true.
Finally making it.
But here's what most don'trealize.
Being called to follow doesn'tguarantee prestige.
(06:06):
It almost guarantees theopposite.
It guarantees ridicule.
It guarantees persecution.
But just like being called tofollow doesn't guarantee
prestige.
going to the NFL doesn'tguarantee a Super Bowl, it
guaranteed transformation.
And that's what all thedisciples were called to
transformation.
God's goal wasn't the medal, itwas the man he was shaping and
molding me to become.
(06:27):
And that's the same thing thathe's doing with you and that
person that he wants you to comeis so much better than the
person that you are now.
You can't even imagine it.
The thing that keeps me going isthinking about what I can do for
the Lord.
When he can shape me into theperson and the man that he needs
me to be, not just in sport, butin every area of my life.
(06:48):
The Lord was using my training,my pain, my setbacks, even my
success to shape me not toplatform me.
You may hear it all the time.
God's got a plan.
People wear headbands that sayGod's plan.
People wear wrist plans that sayGod's plan.
You hear people playing theDrake song, God's plan, right?
But we need to define what thatplan actually is.
(07:08):
Like, do you understand whatGod's plan is?
God's plan is not just to blessyou with wins.
His plan is to redeem yourheart.
That's why Romans 8 28 says, heworks all things together for
good, for those who love him andare called according to his
purpose.
Notice how the text doesn't sayfor our purpose, it says his
(07:30):
purpose.
It doesn't mean you can't hopeand pray and believe you will
win one day.
That's actually a requirement offaith.
And guess what?
I'm still doing that as aprofessional athlete, and you
should be doing that as anathlete yourself.
But remember Daniel three 17,right?
Our God is able to deliver us,but even if he doesn't, which
means we need to be okay withthe, even if he doesn't part of
(07:53):
that scripture, that revealsthat we can want good results in
sports, but we won't be deterredif it doesn't go our way.
So I wanted to close out with ajournal reflection that I wrote
a couple months ago that Iwanted to share with you guys
and here it is.
You'll hear athletes all thetime after a disappointing loss,
say God's got a plan, or peoplewill encourage them saying, keep
working.
(08:13):
God has a plan.
It's all gonna eventually cometogether.
But what is that plan?
I think a lot of people believethat God's plan is that final
realization of their goals.
I think athletes believe God'splan is blessing them with the
win they work so hard for, orthat they're praying for, or
that they've believed thatthey'll have, and they believe
that if I don't quit, if I keepworking year after year, guess
(08:35):
what?
God's plan is gonna comethrough.
But over the years I've realizedGod's plan is not blessing you
with wins or money or influence.
His plan is the grand redemptiveone.
The one to redeem your heart andto save his people.
It was set in motion from thebeginning of time, and that's
the promise and the plan thatwill be completed.
Which means, the question thatwe need to ask ourselves is
(08:58):
this.
How is what I'm going throughright now helping God accomplish
his plan?
The one to draw you near to him,the one to save your soul?
How is it accomplishing thatplan?
'cause that's what God's plan isfor you.
Jesus says in Matthew 1626, forwhat will it profit a man if he
gains the whole world andforfeits his soul?
He's asking, what good is it toprioritize worldly possessions,
(09:21):
achievements, or power, whilelosing spiritual blessings or
peace?
So let's set our hearts andminds on the right thing, which
is God's redemptive plan and notour own.
After all, that plan is a lotbigger than ours, and it should
give us hope regardless of whatcomes our way in life.
Remember the big question is howis what I'm going through
(09:41):
helping accomplish God'sredemptive plan for me and for
the world?
So here's what you do Whenyou've been committed to the
Lord.
You've been faithful to theLord, and you still don't run
how you hoped.
Number one is long story short,you still need to continue to be
faithful.
Obedience is your victory.
Staying faithful is the victory.
Hey, you ran.
You didn't get the outcome youexpected.
(10:03):
What you need to do is you needto keep walking with him anyway.
And let's not do it to getsomething in return, but we can
do it so we can develop arelationship with him.
Developing a relationship withChrist is the, the simple yet
most utter important thing thatyou can do in your life.
Okay?
Number two is realign yourheart.
Ask, would I still follow Jesusif I never won again?
(10:25):
If the answer is no, it is timeto let God reshape your motives.
And I'll be honest, can I behonest with you guys?
I one time thought about would Irather choose God or choose a
medal?
And I knew the right answer.
And I remember one time in mylife I hesitated, like I
hesitated and I was like, man,like I really just, I just wanna
win, right?
And I, and I get it right, we'rein the world.
(10:47):
Sometimes the worldly, our fleshcan take over.
And I realized that obviously Ineeded to check myself because.
That can't be hesitation, right?
So this is what we have to do.
We have to reshape our motives.
And I think that God can reshapeyour motives.
God will reshape your motives.
If you ask him and you believethat he can, he'll start to work
on your heart and it will changeyou forever.
(11:08):
So let's do that because thethings of this world they will
all perish.
Even if you do win one day, It'sgonna be gone.
It's not eternal.
Okay.
So remember, you gotta focus oneternal things.
Things that are gonna lastforever, and your relationship
with Christ is one of thosethings.
so number three.
Remember who you are.
You're not a reflection of yourlast time on the clock.
(11:29):
You're not a reflection of yourpersonal best.
You're not a reflection of yourlast raise.
You're a reflection of JesusChrist.
Ephesians one, five says, Goddecided in advance to adopt us
into His family by bringing usto himself through Jesus Christ.
This is what he wanted to do,and it gave him great pleasure.
So let me pray for you.
God, I thought if I dideverything right, you would give
(11:51):
me the win, but now I realizethis was never about the medal.
It's about my heart.
It's about my relationship withyou.
So help me to follow you for whoyou are, not just for what I
want.
Refine me through every loss andremind me, obedience is the
reward.
Amen.
Hey, you don't run poorlybecause God forgot about you.
(12:12):
He didn't forget about youbecause you lost.
Guess what?
He's shaping something eternalin you, not just for the track,
but for your soul.
If this encouraged you today,share it with another athlete
who needs to hear this, and ifyou're still trying to figure
out how to balance faith insport.
I'm gonna let you know right nowyou are not alone.
(12:33):
Keep showing up.
Keep trusting God.
And remember, defeat is optionalwhen your hope is in Christ.

You're not a reflection of yourlast time on the clock.
(11:29):
You're not a reflection of yourpersonal best.
You're not a reflection of yourlast raise.
You're a reflection of JesusChrist.
Ephesians one, five says, Goddecided in advance to adopt us
into His family by bringing usto himself through Jesus Christ.
This is what he wanted to do,and it gave him great pleasure.
So let me pray for you.
God, I thought if I dideverything right, you would give
(11:51):
me the win, but now I realizethis was never about the medal.
It's about my heart.
It's about my relationship withyou.
So help me to follow you for whoyou are, not just for what I
want.
Refine me through every loss andremind me, obedience is the
reward.
Amen.
Hey, you don't run poorlybecause God forgot about you.
(12:12):
He didn't forget about youbecause you lost.
Guess what?
He's shaping something eternalin you, not just for the track,
but for your soul.
If this encouraged you today,share it with another athlete
who needs to hear this, and ifyou're still trying to figure
out how to balance faith insport.
I'm gonna let you know right nowyou are not alone.

Keep showing up.
Keep trusting God.
