About us

Besides sports, God has been a big part of my life as well. I struggled growing up with a lot. I was constantly rebelling against my parents and doing whatever I wanted. I was chasing satisfaction in the things of the world rather than God. I was trying to fill the hole inside my heart, even if it was just temporary.

One thing that I used to numb the pain that I was feeling was sports. I would use sports as a way to distract my mind from my problems and responsibilities. I surrounded myself with people and activities to keep me busy because I knew I wasn’t doing right. God had a calling for my life and I was running from it. I found myself in such a deep pit that I had built over years of running from God. But that is not the end of the story.

In the midst of my broken heart, confused mind, and depressed state, God found me. I was called to reach people for the Lord and go to a Christian college after high school, but I ended up rejecting that and going to work a secular job instead. While working there I felt satisfied, but only for a season. God was knocking on the door of my heart. Eventually I recognized that I was missing something. I risked it all and quit my job and applied for a local Christian college. Looking for answers, I found help from counselors. And the answer to my brokenness was Jesus.

I was saved at a young age, but I had lost my way. God changed my life and now I get the honor of being used by Him to further His kingdom! God gave me a passion for people and a passion for sports. So now every single week I get the privilege to travel the world and organize some of the largest Christian sports tournaments in the country. Through these tournaments we can give people the help they need. People every week are finding God just like I did. The lost are being found, souls are being saved, all for the glory of God. And that my friends is what Schmidt Ministries is all about.
