Butler Head Coach Lavall Jordan Points Team to Christ After Season Gets Cut Short

April 17, 2020 by Staff

(Sports Spectrum) When the Butler men’s basketball team found out its season was over, head coach LaVall Jordan and his staff called a meeting. Anyone in New York at the Big East Tournament with the team — players, family members, friends — was invited. During the meeting, Jordan prayed over everyone in attendance.

When the Butler men’s basketball team found out its season was over, head coach LaVall Jordan and his staff called a meeting. Anyone in New York at the Big East Tournament with the team — players, family members, friends — was invited. During the meeting, Jordan prayed over everyone in attendance.

Jordan’s coaching philosophy is based on Ephesians 4:11-16. The passage says, in part, “So Christ Himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip His people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.”
