Kade Klemke on How Sports Can Become a Platform For the Gospel
In this episode of the Win Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina Waldrom talks with former Essendon Bomber and accomplished player-coach Kade Klemke, now serving with 360 Sports Australia in partnership with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Kade brings a wealth of experience from grassroots clubs to professional teams, sharing how sport can be a unique and powerful platform for the gospel. Together, Tina and Kade explore how coaches and athletes alike can bring their faith into the sporting world, living out evangelism and apologetics in everyday interactions on and off the field.

Whether you’re a coach, a parent, or simply someone who loves the game, you’ll discover how evangelism and apologetics can come alive in the very spaces where people gather, compete, and belong.
