Welcome to Sideline Shepherd.

This is a space for reflection, encouragement, and spiritual grounding in the world of sports. Written anonymously from a sports chaplain serving at the amateur and professional level, passionate about walking alongside athletes, coaches, and staff through the highs and lows of competition and life.

Here, you’ll find:

• Daily devotionals rooted in Scripture and written with athletes in mind.

• Reflections from the sidelines—what I’m learning, observing, and praying through as I serve in this unique ministry space.

• Words of encouragement for fellow chaplains, coaches, and athletic directors who carry the weight of leadership and care.

This isn’t about going viral or growing a platform. It’s about cultivating a faithful presence in the world of sports. No hype. No paywall. Just the Word, the work, and the people we serve.

Whether you’re suiting up, coaching from the bench, or offering a quiet word of prayer in the locker room—I hope you’ll find something here that meets you in your moment.
