Successful sports ministry starts long before deciding what program to run. In this episode of The Dr. Greg Linville Show, Dr. Greg Linville and Pastor Dan Stoffer unpack the Three-Tier Paradigm for building an effective sports, recreation, or fitness ministry: Theology — A Christocentric focus Philosophy — A Bible-based foundation Methodology — The sports, recreation, or fitness ministry you actually do The key is the order.

Greg and Dan explain why reversing that process can undermine a ministry—and why getting these three tiers aligned is vital for long-term success.
