Buy In. Sell Out.

The Clemson Football program, led by head coach Dabo Swinney, has created a culture of being “All In.” 

In 2014, while celebrating their Orange Bowl win, the team wore T-shirts that read “All In Win.” Coach Swinney has made it a part of the culture that to win you must be “all in,” surrendering it all to be great.

Being “all in” begins with “buying in” to the vision your coach lays in front of you. It’s more than simply doing what your coach says. It means believing in the plan and its ability to get you to your goal. The second part takes action; you have to “sell out.” You must be willing to give it all.

Scripture tells us of God’s big plan for a young boy named David. At the beginning of God’s plan, David was to save the Israelites from a giant named Goliath — a man who terrified the army of Israel. But David trusted and bought in to God’s plan. He also sold out by taking only a slingshot and five stones to battle the giant.

Because of David’s faith and trust in God’s plan, he went all in. David was successful and defeated Goliath!

In our faith, we must be willing to buy in and sell out to achieve all that God has for us.
