Faith & Football: 30 Inspirations from IU’s Storybook Season

by Michelle Medlock-Adams

When Indiana University’s football team went from college football’s all-time losing record to an undefeated national championship in a single season, the world took notice. But bestselling author and IU alumna Michelle Medlock Adams saw something beyond the scoreboard.

In Faith & Football: 30 Inspirations from IU’s Storybook Season, Michelle traces the miraculous 2025 Hoosiers run-from Coach Curt Cignetti’s bold proclamations to Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza’s prayer-fueled preparation, from Mikail Kamara’s history-making blocked punt to a locker room built on brotherhood-and connects each unforgettable moment to timeless biblical truth.

Thirty inspirational devotions. Thirty life lessons. Each chapter opens with a real story from IU’s championship journey, then draws a straight line from the field to your faith. You’ll discover how to block out the naysayers and hear God’s voice, how preparation positions you for breakthrough, how to turn your greatest disadvantage into your defining advantage, and why your “spotlight moment” is closer than you think.

Includes a special Favorite Fan Moments with stories and photos that capture the joy and wonder of one of the greatest seasons in college football history.

Whether you bleed cream and crimson or simply hunger for the kind of faith that can turn a 715-loss legacy into a national championship, this book is your playbook. Nothing is impossible with God. This is your turnaround time.

“Faith & Football taps into the spiritual dimension beyond the sports.”
– Pete DiPrimio, Indiana Sports Writer & Sportscasters Hall of Famer
