Shanktification
Welcome to Shanktification: Golf, grace, and the beautiful struggle for perfection.
What happens when our sanctification journey starts to look a lot like a shank?
In this weekly 15-minute conversation, we explore how the game of golf is filled with moments that mirror the gospel message—revealing lessons about grace, humility, perseverance, and growth.
Whether you’re curious about Jesus or have followed Him for years, and whether you love golf or are still learning to love it, you’ll find a place here. The highs, the lows, the frustration, and the beauty of the game all point us toward something deeper.
This isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about walking the process together—learning, growing, and celebrating the journey as we go.
