Welcome to the IAm3 Blog.  Our goal is to take you behind the scenes of our program so you can see how we build 'A Team of 3rd in a Culture of 1st.'  Throughout the year, you will hear stories from different voices in our program as they tell what they are experiencing from their perspective of IWUHoops.  We hope you will be encouraged to live 3rd! 

Hunger, Habits, Humility

For IWUHoops, each season is a journey of men in the program trading the pursuit of me for the pursuit of 3.  Through intentional prayer, Bible study and community, God has continued to reveal new depths of an IAm3rd life.  

The 2016-2017 journey was one of a team filled with apathy learning to live a life marked by hunger, habits and humility.  Read Coach T's thoughts on this transformation HERE  

This offseason and preseason have seen IWUHoopers pursuing 'hunger, habits and humility.'   A pursuit of Hunger sets you in motion.  Habits keep you in motion.  Humility puts others in motion.  This pattern has taken some of the men in the program beyond mere growth and into transformation.  

These blogs invite you in to the transformation that is underway in the lives of the IWU team.  Click on the pictures below to hear the stories of what the team as a whole is learning and who the individual men within the program are becoming.

We are becoming...

The Journey

We live in a culture of ‘1st.’  In a “Me1st” age of social media and selfies, instant gratification and personal comfort reign supreme. 

IWUHoops is striving to build a team hungry for ‘3rd.’   In an age where comfort and apathy fight against greatness, instilling the habits of putting God first and others second opens the door for new potential.  

Building a team of 3rd in culture of 1st is no easy task.  The journey of a basketball season is never a straight line to the top.  There are challenges to be faced and obstacles to be overcome.

‘The Journey’ will take you behind the scenes of IWUHoops 2016-2017 season.  Throughout the month of May, check back daily for stories that give you a raw, unfiltered look at the highs and lows that IWU experienced on their way to a 3rd Fab Four in the past four years.
