What does it really mean to WIN as a Christian? Chip Pugh, Director of Team Development and Team Chaplain for the Tennessee Titans, joins Rise Up Kings to talk about faith, purpose, identity, and what NFL players are really dealing with behind closed doors.

Chip trains Titans players, coaches, and staff in character and leadership development. He is the author of Made to Win: Six Practices of Jesus for a Life on Mission and co-founder of Be1Make1 (Be One, Make One), a ministry that trains disciple makers.

In this conversation, Chip explains why so many Christians feel guilty for winning, what he hears in private conversations with pro athletes, and the six SKILLS of Jesus from his book. He walks through the exercise of discovering what your name means (his means "free man"), and Skylar shares the Words of the Womb prayer, why the enemy attacks the exact place your purpose lives, and the promise of Jeremiah 1:5. Chip also opens up about years of infertility and failed IVF, and the penny story that became a ministry built on discipling one person at a time.
