Frank Reich Influences for Jesus Wherever He Is
Whether it's in the locker room, the living room or anywhere in between, Reich is living for Jesus.
By Faith on the Field Staff, March 11, 2022
Frank Reich, head coach of the Indianapolis Colts, is a man of God who is using his platform to boldly declare his faith in Christ.
An accomplished athlete and coach, Reich was backup to Hall of Famer Jim Kelly in Buffalo. As a Bills quarterback, he led “The Comeback”, which remains the greatest comeback for a team in NFL history.
But even Reich would tell you there are times where his faith world, his football world and his family world don’t seem like they’re intersecting. And he has to work hard to make sure his faith is intersecting in all his areas of life.
“I think sometimes it's easy for all of us to fall into the trap to say, hey, our faith world is over here and then our work world or a family world is over here. It's always been about living out my faith in Christ, making the most impact living my life according to Kingdom principals, being inspired.”
For Reich, his drive and purpose in life is defined as what he gets out of his relationship with Jesus.

FAITH ON THE FIELD IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY OUR PROGRAM SPONSOR:
Is Faith on the Field an encouragement to you?
Would you help us get our ministry into new markets? Your financial gift can help us do just that:
“It's all about the intimacy that I have in my relationship with Christ. That from that, what I have experienced, that gives me whatever wisdom I need, whatever juice I need as a coach. Whatever strength I need. That's the center of it, and to learn that.”
As a coach, Reich recognizes he doesn’t need to be a Pastor to have influence. Reich knowns he can make a difference for Christ wherever he is.
“I don't have to go into full-time Ministry, to be a minister of the Gospel. I can do that as a football coach or as a player. It doesn't mean that I'm beating people over the head with the Bible. It just means organically and dynamically living out your faith, always being prepared to tell others for the hope and what you have.”
