🌟 Message from DM9, LLC

When God tested Abraham by asking him to sacrifice his only son, Abraham displayed a faith that held nothing back. He stood at the edge of obedience, knife in hand, fully prepared to surrender his most cherished blessing. At that pivotal moment, heaven declared: “Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son.” (Genesis 22:12)

Abraham’s story is not just about sacrifice; it’s about trust. Trust that God is Jehovah Jireh, the Provider. Trust that every test of faith is an opportunity for elevation. Trust that when we hold nothing back from God, He opens the door to blessings we never imagined.

💡 Athletes

Every game, every practice is a test—not just of skill but of character and faith. Just as Abraham had to lay his son on the altar, sometimes you have to lay down your fears, doubts, and excuses. Trust God with your talent. Believe that when you give your all, He will make a way. The game may look impossible, but faith turns obstacles into opportunities.

💡 Parents

Abraham’s obedience set the foundation for generations to come. Your faith impacts your household. When life’s tests arise, stand firm in trusting God’s promises. Your steadfastness is a living example to your children, teaching them how to navigate trials with faith and courage.

💡 Coaches & Mentors

As leaders, your faith sets the tone. Just as God provided a ram in place of Isaac, He will provide what you need to guide those under your care. Hold nothing back—invest fully, lead boldly, and trust God’s timing. Your obedience can spark the breakthrough in a young athlete’s life.
