Troupe Coors grew up in church, knew the Bible, and thought he was a Christian. But at 21, he realized something was missing: he knew ABOUT Jesus, but he didn't truly KNOW Him.

In this episode of the 307 Faithful Podcast, University of Wyoming rodeo athlete Troupe Coors shares his testimony of discovering salvation through faith in Christ rather than good works.

Troupe also opens up about competing in college rodeo, overcoming a serious knee injury, his marriage, and sharing the gospel with fellow athletes through Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA).

Whether you're a rodeo fan or someone who grew up in church, Troupe's story is a powerful reminder that knowing about Jesus isn't the same as trusting in Him.

When everything in sports has to be earned, it’s easy to approach faith the same way.

University of Wyoming volleyball player Rya Fingerlin joins Devin Davis on the 307 Faithful Podcast to share how she’s learning to find her identity in Christ beyond her performance on the court. From feeling like she wasn’t a “good enough Christian” to understanding salvation as a gift, Rya discusses grace, competition, and trusting God through mistakes.

They also explore finding Christian community in college, serving at FCA camp, and playing with joy when the pressure is high.

Whether you’re an athlete, coach, or someone who struggles with never feeling good enough, this conversation offers encouragement to receive God’s grace and live from your identity in Christ.

What happens when the success you’ve been praying for finally comes?

Casper Christian head football coach and athletic director Ryan Harrison joins Devin Davis on the 307 Faithful Podcast to talk about building a young football program, taking down one of Wyoming six-man football’s perennial powers, and learning how to keep success from becoming your identity.

Ryan shares how he challenges his players to enjoy the wins, rankings, and accomplishments God has given them without allowing those things to define who they are. For Ryan, the goal is bigger than football: developing young men whose identity is rooted in Christ and who know how to glorify God whether they win or lose.

He also shares his own story of learning to follow God’s direction. When Ryan and his wife had the opportunity to take jobs in the public school system and potentially make twice as much, they instead followed what they believed was God’s leading to Casper Christian. Today, Ryan says he’s living his dream job as a football coach and athletic director.

Lincoln Young spent years chasing one goal: a Wyoming state wrestling championship. But after falling short in the finals three straight years, he began to realize God was doing something much bigger than building a wrestling résumé.

On this episode of the 307 Faithful Podcast, Lincoln sits down with Devin Davis to share his journey from being a lukewarm believer to learning what it means to wrestle for the glory of God. He opens up about idolizing wrestling, blaming God after painful losses, struggling with his response after his senior state finals match, and ultimately finding grace, forgiveness, gratitude, and a deeper identity in Christ.

Now preparing to wrestle at Chadron State, Lincoln talks about taking his faith with him into college, facing temptation, pursuing big wrestling goals, and trusting God with whatever comes next.

This is a conversation about wrestling—but even more, it’s about what God can build through disappointment, failure, repentance, perseverance, and faith.

What do you do when the door you expected God to open stays closed?

Braxton Doak grew up in Green River, Wyoming, believing his future would likely stay close to home. After years of playing soccer, he made the unexpected transition to football, developed into a Division I-level kicker, and hoped his college path might lead to the University of Wyoming.

It didn’t.

In this episode of the 307 Faithful Podcast, Braxton shares how recruiting disappointment, unanswered expectations, and an unexpected opportunity at Central Michigan forced him to confront a difficult question: would he trust God’s plan even when it looked different from his own?

Braxton talks about praying for direction during the recruiting process and receiving his first FBS offer shortly afterward. He also shares how arriving at Central Michigan helped him see that what initially felt like rejection may have been God redirecting him somewhere he needed to be.

The conversation also goes deep into the mental pressure of being a Division I kicker, why faith helps Braxton deal with expectations and fear of failure, and what he has learned about trusting the process instead of obsessing over the outcome.

Braxton also opens up about another major transformation in his life: realizing that pride had affected the way he treated teammates and other people. As his faith grew, he says God began changing his character, helping him become a more humble teammate and leader.

From football and recruiting to Scripture, FCA, humility, pressure, and learning to trust God one day at a time, this is a conversation about what happens when your plan changes—but your faith keeps growing.

If this episode encourages you, share it with someone who is struggling to trust God in an uncertain season.

What does faith look like behind the scenes of college football?

Lindsay Moore knows firsthand. As the wife of University of Wyoming football coach Shannon Moore, Lindsay has experienced the demanding rhythms of coaching, the importance of strong marriages and community, and the unique opportunities that come with life around a football program.

But Lindsay’s story goes much deeper than football.

In this episode of the 307 Podcast, Lindsay shares how committing to God’s Word transformed her faith, marriage, family, and ultimately the direction of her life. She opens up about walking through anxiety, heartbreaking loss, and difficult seasons—and how knowing God through Scripture gave her somewhere to turn when life became overwhelming.

Lindsay also shares the importance of the community she has found through FCA and a Bible study for coaches’ wives, as well as how God eventually led her to launch her own teaching podcast, The New Way to Live.

This conversation is about football, marriage, family, suffering, Scripture, and what happens when faith becomes more than something you simply profess—it becomes the foundation for how you live.

What happens when your athletic dreams take you all the way to the Olympic stage—but you realize your identity was never meant to be found in sports?

In this episode of the 307 Faithful Podcast, Devin Davis sits down with Team USA bobsled athlete Sadie McMullen to hear her incredible journey from competing in track and field at the University of Wyoming to being selected as an Olympic bobsled alternate.

Sadie shares how an unexpected bobsled combine completely changed the direction of her athletic career, what it feels like to race at nearly 80 miles per hour while pulling intense G-forces, and how she is now preparing to transition into the pilot seat.

But her story is about far more than athletics.

Sadie opens up about growing up believing she had to earn her salvation, discovering the grace of Jesus Christ, becoming involved with Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and learning that her identity cannot be rooted in athletic success.

She also shares how she looked for opportunities to spread the gospel on one of the biggest stages in sports—including attaching Scripture notes to Team USA pins she traded with athletes from around the world.

From Olympic pressure to uncertainty about the future, Sadie's story is a powerful reminder that accomplishments can disappear, but our identity in Christ remains.

Gene Montoya built his identity around wrestling—until injuries, depression, and a breaking point forced him to confront what his life was really built on.

Gene shares how he came to faith in Jesus, how Christ transformed his identity, and how he learned to compete for God’s glory rather than his own. His journey eventually took him from wrestling into judo, where he became a national champion.

This is a powerful conversation about athletics, identity, suffering, surrender, and what it really means to follow Jesus.
