Keep On Growing: Truth Seeking and Abiding in God’s Word with Dr. Steve Nitz

In this episode of The Christian Athlete Podcast, Jaden sits down with Dr. Steve Nitz — a former Wheaton College football player whose life story weaves together athletics, medicine, and a deep commitment to God’s Word.
We talk about what it really means to seek truth in a world filled with noise, and how abiding in Scripture becomes the anchor for a life of calling, character, and spiritual growth. Dr. Nitz reflects on his formative years at Wheaton, the coaches who shaped him, and the way football built the discipline and resilience that carried him through decades of medical practice.
From early athletic lessons to his transition into functional medicine, he shares how God has continually invited him to “keep on growing” — in humility, in wisdom, and in reliance on Christ.
This episode offers a grounded, practical look at how the pursuit of truth and the daily intake of God’s Word form us into people who can live out our calling faithfully on the field, in our work, and in every season of life.
