## Highlights
- 1. Why are we coaching football? 2. If we are coaching for the purpose God has given us, would we be okay if we coached at Iowa State forever and lost more games than we won? 3. Could we put aside the world’s definition of success and accept only God’s definition of success? 4. Do we trust God with our lives, our family, and our job security? As Jonna and I discussed those questions, we gradually began to experience a level of peace. We had accepted the Iowa State job because we believed without hesitation that God wanted us in Iowa. God wasn’t calling us to win; he was just calling us to be obedient and faithful. So with renewed perspective, we focused on our true purpose in coaching football. It gave us comfort to know that there was a God-ordained reason for our being at Iowa State—and comfort was practically impossible to come by in that season.

- I couldn’t escape that question: If we are coaching for the purpose God has given us, would we be okay if we coached at Iowa State forever and lost more games than we won every year? ([Location 843](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B0051CC7N0&location=843))
