Worshipping In Sports & Discussing Our Mission

WISDOM was started by Marissa Kastanek because she saw a lack of Christian fellowship for athletes in Europe, where she plays professional basketball. WISDOM was created to spread the Good News, give athletes a chance to communicate in a non-judgmental, safe place about who our God is, and to allow everyone the opportunity to grow to be more Christ-like here on Earth.

What will be the communication of our lives?
As members of WISDOM, it is our responsibility to share our beliefs with those that have never experienced God.
We encounter unbelievers every day and we must be ready and willing to gently defend our God so that they may be intrigued to learn how we remain hopeful through our daily lives (1 Peter 3:15-16). Each member is encouraged to share their story, HIS story, with the world.
What will be the community of my life?
WISDOM is a non-judgmental, no pressure, and safe fellowship group comprised of professional athletes that desire to build their relationship with God. There is no prior experience necessary; God meets you where you are!
WISDOM believes strongly in the practices of Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, “Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble.”
What will be the character of my life?
The fruit of the Holy Spirit is what WISDOM is all about. Over time we will develop these character traits and focus on improving them daily through our daily life situations: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. (Gal 5:22-23)
What will be the center of my life?
We worship God through sports. We give everything we have into our sport to thank God for giving us these talents. The games we play are opportunities to give God the glory through all the successes, failures, happy times, sad times, health and injury and we can do ALL of these things by the power of the Lord who strengthens us (Philippians 4:13). Our center is CHRIST.
Ecclesiastes 9:10, Colossians 3:23, 1 Corinthians 10:31
What will be the contribution of my life?
WISDOM aims to help professional athletes find a way they can serve others using the gifts God gave them to leave a legacy on Earth in God’s name.
We aim to be Kingdom Builders.

**WISDOM’s goal is to give athletes a platform for eternity**

WISDOM’s purpose is to give God the glory by playing our sports to the best of our abilities, display the fruits of the Holy Spirit in everyday situations, build the Kingdom of God by serving generously those around us, encourage non-believers by sharing the story of God in our lives, and provide a safe, no-pressure, non-judgmental environment to mature our relationship with God.
