Teach Me

Great athletes understand the importance of being coachable. But there is a far greater question than whether we are teachable on the field: Are we teachable before God?

In Episode 7 of the SDG Athletics Podcast, Cole Cleveland continues the study through Psalm 119:9–16 by examining the psalmist’s humble prayer: “Teach me your statutes.”

God is good, Holy, righteous, wise, and trustworthy. Therefore, His Word can be trusted completely. The Christian does not look to Scripture merely for suggestions—we come underneath its authority and allow God's Truth to correct our thinking, expose our sin, and direct the way we live.

This episode challenges athletes to remain coachable before God, parents to allow Scripture to shape how they steward their children and athletics, and coaches to examine whether their leadership truly reflects Biblical convictions.

This week's challenge is simple: memorize Psalm 119:12 and begin each day with the prayer, “Lord, teach me Your statutes.” Then open His Word, listen to what He has already said, and have the humility to obey.

Be teachable. Know the Word. Submit to the Word. Walk according to the Word.
