Have you ever felt the darkness that is in sport or in your life? Seeing the overlap between athletics and faith is not always easy, but something amazing happens when the two collide. Light it Up is focused on having conversations with those involved in the athletic world to talk about the everyday realities of the world of sport and allowing God's light to shine over them.
