The First Freedom Challenge

On September 1st, Coach Joe Kennedy is returning to the field to take a knee in prayer.

It’s our prayer that people of faith from coast-to-coast will come together on Friday, Sept. 1 to make this a national night of prayer. We’re challenging coaches, players, parents and fans all over the country to take a knee and pray at their local stadiums.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

As you prepare to participate in the First Freedom Challenge, here are some helpful tips and answers to common questions:

• What game should I go to?
  Look up a Friday, September 1^st high school game near you and take the challenge at your local stadium.
• Should people go to Coach Kennedy’s game and pray with him on the field?

  You can still participate, even if you can’t make it to a game. You can pray from wherever you are during the evening.

  Parents and fans should pray from the seats in the stands. Coaches and players can typically pray on the field.

  If players invite their coaches to join their prayer circle, coaches can join them. But coaches should not lead students in prayer.

  Yes! We’d love to see social media covered in pictures of coaches, players, students and fans praying after the game.
