Coaching From the Inside Out: A Journey of Faith and Mentorship with Coach Pete Wehry
Our latest guest on the ENSPIRES podcast is Coach Pete Wehry.
Pete is here to share his story about finding religion, following Christ, and serving others. You’ll find inspiration as you hear how he came to Christ as a teenager and how that decision affected the rest of his life.
I know you’ll enjoy hearing about his experiences as a youth pastor and athletics coach and later as a Character Coach for Nations of Coaches, an organization that helps basketball coaches professionally, familially, and spiritually.
Coach Pete Wehry became a follower of Christ at the age of 15 and it changed the trajectory of his life. His faith combined with his love of athletics led him to begin mentoring young men and women. He and his wife Lisa met at school in SC, married in 1985, and have been ministering to people ever since. In 2009, Pete became associated with the basketball ministry Nations of Coaches, and he now serves as the Character Coach at Jacksonville University and the University of Central Florida and is the National Director for Nations of Coaches.

Shifting from seeing religion as a cult to finding a relationship with Christ

I’m lucky to know Pete and I’m excited for you to get to know him too in this episode. I always love learning about people’s faith journeys and Pete’s story is no exception. I admire his commitment to following Christ and serving others and hope I can bring some of what I’ve learned from him into my own life.
