I believe that regardless of the field that I’m in, my faith is just as important as everything that I’m doing. This is that my faith is what drives me to do what I do and be who I am. My faith is really the foundation of everything in my life because, without it, I wouldn’t be who I am today. It’s the reason why I hold being kind and loving to others that I’m working with and for to a high standard. Also spreading my faith in my work, whether it’s through my character and the way that I treat others or the content that I’m creating. The basis of everything that I do is based on my faith. I’m a believer in Jesus Christ and that through Him, I’m capable and able to accomplish any task that is presented to me. I’m super intentional in the way that I work, and how hard I work on projects knowing that I want people to know and feel the love of Christ through me.

In my experience working in the sports field, specifically the sports media field, people tend to appreciate the kindness and love that I treat them with due to my faith in Jesus. I think that it’s the way that I’m still able to respect the beliefs of others, while still letting my faith be known that makes it unique. There’s just something about loving others and being able to give my all to a project because it’s something that I not only feel called to, but I get and have the privilege to represent Christ to someone who may have never had an encounter with someone of my faith or someone who may have had a negative encounter with someone who shares the same faith as me.

My faith is super important to me because from it, flows everything that I am. It’s where I find my identity. Being able to put my identity in Christ, allows me to not worry as much when it comes to a situation not going well. It allows me to persevere through the trials that come with not only work, but life in general. The work world can be very brutal and there can be rejection, hard times, humbling times, and truthfully times that just make us want to quit. I’ve had experiences where I’ve wondered if I belonged in the field that I was in, and when it was all said and done, it was my faith that kept me going.

A major reason why I hold my faith so high within my life and keep it as my foundation is because I’ve seen the effect that it has not only on myself, but others around me. More specifically the impact that it’s had on people in my workplace, and even my everyday life. I never knew or even thought that the way that I live my life and the way that I’ve been blessed to have such a strong faith could impact my peers and even people I’ve seen only maybe one time. Around half a year ago, I found out that the way that I have been living, and my faith inspired my best friend to start walking with Christ and that moment right there has forever changed my life.

I say all this to say that for me the most important thing in anything I do is keeping my faith at the center and building upon that because it’s something that’s firm and that I know to be true. From it flows fruits or traits for a lack of better words that are not only good but that impact the lives of others for the better. There’s nothing more fulfilling than knowing that what you’re doing and the way you’re living is impacting others in a positive way. So as for me, my faith is the rock on which I will forever build all things that I do.
