Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak knows that, win or lose, his identity is not in making the right play call.
“Your identity is not in your job. Our identity is in Christ,” Kubiak told Sports Spectrum’s Jason Romano. “And when I learned that, when I spent more time in the Word from all the mentors I had in coaching, that, you know, helped me get into Bible studies and read the Word every day, it just took a really heavy load off.”
“You know, just knowing that, I’m a child of God, and football is something that I do, but trying to be a good father and be a faithful husband is way more important than any of that,” he added.
“This is my favorite question of the night … Our identity is in Christ.”

For Christmas, Kubiak purchased Bibles for every player and coach on the team.
“That’s the most important thing,” he said when asked why he bought Bibles for everyone. “…You’re trying to find Christmas gifts for guys every year to show them that you love them, and what better gift than that?”

Assistant head coach Leslie Frazier spoke about Kubiak’s thoughtful gift and how much it impacted him.
“You talking about touching people across our team? That is so unique and so rare,” Frazier told Sports Spectrum. “It meant a lot. It meant a lot to everybody in our building, just that he would do that. His whole point of it was he wanted everybody to be able to find out what it means to have a relationship with Jesus Christ. This is the starting point, having a Bible. No one should walk away from this building without having a Bible.”
“He wanted everybody to be able to find out what it means to have a relationship with Jesus Christ.”

Kubiak isn’t the only Seahawks coach whose identity is in Christ. Head coach Mike McDonald has put his faith completely in God.
“My faith has really grown over the last couple years. That’s what I lean on. That’s where your strength comes from,” the head coach told Sports Spectrum. “Recently I have so much gratitude, and then ultimately strength, that you feel like God has put you in a position to lead these people.”
“[Faith is] your guiding light every day, so it’s something that I can hopefully continue to grow, and hopefully our players continue to seek it out — seek their faith and grow in their faith. It’s really special, and we got a lot of guys that are examples for me, too,” McDonald added.
The Seahawks will face off against the New England Patriots at Super Bowl LX this Sunday, as coaches and players alike hope to make an impact for the kingdom of God.
