As the head football coach at Wheaton College, a private Christian institution in suburban Chicago, Jesse Scott is charged with doing more than drawing up a game plan for the next opponent. He’s passing on leadership skills that will help his players long after they’ve left the gridiron, and teach them to rely on their identity in Christ above all else. Jesse talks with Redeemed founder Paul Amos this week about how he runs his program, and the lessons he uses to encourage and motivate young men who are stepping into leadership roles for the first time.
