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.

n this episode of Coach's Corner, Coach Jeremy, Coach Nate, and Coach Mark react to three viral moments where faith and fighting collide. Corpus Christi boxer Julian Delgado walks away from boxing because of his Christian convictions. Ryan Garcia holds a worship session before stepping into the ring. Katie Taylor walks out to "All Hail King Jesus" in front of a packed stadium.

Can a Christian box with a clear conscience? Does walking out to worship mean God will hand you the win? The coaches dig into conviction, heart posture, and why God repurposes ambition instead of wasting it, using the story of Saul becoming Paul. You'll hear about a hunter who gave up his entire trophy collection in obedience to God and what that sacrifice made room for, plus what Tim Tebow's career teaches us about standing with God without a guaranteed victory.

Then the conversation turns to fear. If following God isn't the safest place to be, why follow Him? From Peter stepping out of the boat to Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego facing the fiery furnace, the coaches unpack why courage is acting while you're afraid, why fear is an ingredient (not the enemy), and why you can't fake being fearless in front of God.

In this episode:

• Julian Delgado quits boxing over his faith (Romans 14:23)
  
  
• What real conviction looks like for a man
  
  
• Can Christians box? Why heart posture matters more than the sport
  
  
• God doesn't waste ambition; He repurposes it (Saul to Paul)
  
  
• Ryan Garcia's pre-fight worship and Katie Taylor's "All Hail King Jesus" walkout
  
  
• Is your opponent Goliath, or a brother in Christ?
  
  
• Tim Tebow and why faith doesn't guarantee a win
  
  
• Worship as the ultimate flow-state hack before competition
  
  
• Peter, the boat, and the myth that God's will is "safe"
  
  
• "Love is a knife fight": why you're going to get punched in the face
  
  
• Tim Timberlake on faking God's presence
  
  
• Fear as a necessary ingredient in the recipe for courage

After going $8.4 million into debt with only $4 million in assets, real estate investor Jeff Rutkowski stopped praying for God to send him millions, and started praying to become the man God could trust with a million. That single shift launched a career training over 30,000 people, building $250 million in assets under management, and founding Kingdom 320, a movement to create 1 million Christian millionaires across the United States!

Jeff Rutkowski is a real estate investor, coach, and entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience. He is the founder of Kingdom 320, a faith-based real estate training company that has equipped thousands of Christians to build wealth through real estate without using their own money. A Navy veteran who received a prophetic word about real estate while walking to church after his car broke down, Jeff now oversees $250M+ in assets under management and serves on the leadership team of Awaken Church in San Diego, where he and his wife Claudia are launching a new campus in West Palm Beach, Florida.

He explains:
◼️ How most Christians are unknowingly funding wickedness and anti-Christian agendas through their own 401k accounts
◼️ Why the Spirit of Mammon has infiltrated the American church, the medical system, and politics, and how to recognize it
◼️ The prophetic word he received while walking to church with a broken-down car that launched his real estate career
◼️ Why he stopped praying "God send me millions" and started praying "make me the man You can trust with a million"
◼️ How to buy real estate 20 different ways without using your own money
◼️ Why God is not calling you to live on a cruise ship, He's calling you to live on a battleship
◼️ The reason most high-net-worth Christians feel invisible inside their own church
