Where Faith, Sports, & Real Life Meet

The FCA Beyond the Game Podcast, presented by the Atlanta FCA, invites coaches, athletes, and leaders to engage in genuine conversations about faith, purpose, and the everyday moments that shape who we are.


Hosted by Mike Leazer, FCA Atlanta Director, each episode goes deeper than stats or highlights. Listeners hear the stories behind the jersey, the struggles, the victories, and the defining moments when God shows up.

From high-level athletes to local coaches, every guest brings a unique perspective on living boldly for Christ in the competitive world of sports.


What You’ll Hear:

  • Honest conversations about faith and identity
  • Stories of resilience, calling, and purpose
  • Spiritual insights for coaches, athletes, and families
  • Practical encouragement for walking with Jesus—on and off the field
