Why FCA Wrestling?

“Wrestling encompasses the meaning of the phrase ‘mutual suffering.’ There is an intensity about the sport where two competitors struggle against one another in such a way that provokes pain physically and mentally. This creates a bond in competition and practice because the wrestlers have shared in struggle. The pain fosters vulnerability and the vulnerability creates bonds. This culture of ‘mutual suffering’ is a place where the truth of Christ can thrive.”

“My two greatest passions in life are Jesus and Wrestling, in that order. I always sensed I’d do something combining the two and FCA Wrestling allows me to use the platform of wrestling to share the good news of Jesus Christ.”
