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.Segments/chapters0:00 Intro1:12 Jesse’s background and entry into football4:54 Helping young men become not only better athletes but better disciples13:07 Managing a large group and preparing individuals for leadership20:11 Balancing the roles of coach, husband, and father24:36 Jesse’s goals for himself and for the team29:58 Wheaton football’s opportunities for overseas service35:46 Fostering healthy debate while staying faithful to non-negotiable valuesVisit The Redeemed's website for downloadable discussion question sets, show notes, inspirational articles, more resources, or to share your testimony.Join our Exclusive Newsletter: Signup today and be the first to get notified on upcoming podcasts and new resources!The Redeemed is an organization giving men from all backgrounds a supportive, judgment-free environment, grounded in Christian love without demanding participation in any faith tradition, where they can open up about their challenges, worries, and failures—and celebrate their triumphs over those struggles.
