Mentioned in this video
In this Bible Caddie Classic from Episode 128, Sam Burns sits down with Webb Simpson, Ben Crane, and William Kane to talk about what it looks like to walk with Christ on the PGA Tour. Sam opens up about how his identity is not in his golf score, how he came to faith in his early 20s, and the friendships that have shaped his walk with the Lord.
Topics in this clip:
- As a believer, we have such an advantage on the golf course because we are not playing for identity, we are playing from our identity
- I would definitely be lying if I said that I don't struggle with my identity in golf
- When things are going well, it's like hey man, look at me, I just shot 65. And then golf happens. You shoot 77. And the shame and guilt that you feel. It's just a brutal cycle.
- Having the freedom of knowing that my identity is not ultimately in what I do in my golf
- Having friends that don't really care and care more about your heart than anything else is very important not for being a professional golfer but for walking a Christian life
- Sam's story of coming to faith: I was baptized as a kid and would have called myself a believer but wasn't walking with Christ at all
- It's got to be more than this, right? Like, this is great and all, but this is not really what I thought it would be
- We both realized that we have a heart issue, like we have a need for Christ in the worst way
- Don't trust in your good works, trust in Jesus alone and he'll give you a new heart like he did for Sam
- He lived the life we should have lived. He died the death we deserved to die.
- Don't keep trying to help God save you. He's already offered up his son for you and just trust in him.
- It's hard to grow in Christ without someone discipling you. Jesus modeled it better than anybody.
- You're attracted to their humility because they're not trying to be someone, they are
