Grew up in a charismatic, non-denominational church (his dad was the pastor). Over time he moved more into the evangelical Reformed-ish space; He&#8217;s been attending either an Acts 29 or a PCA church for the past 15 years. Played basketball growing up, including at the small college level. Married for 13 years (both he and his wife and I are PKs) with three kids. He taught high school social studies for 4 years in Nebraska before going to grad school to get his PhD in history. Dr. Putz&#8217;s dissertation research was on the history of sports and Christianity in American culture. That dissertation has become a book manuscript that is under contract with Oxford University Press. After getting his PhD he was a history professor at Messiah College for a year before accepting a position as the Assistant Director of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baylor.edu\/truett\/index.php?id=927776\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Faith &amp; Sports Institute at Truett Seminary<\/a>. His job now involves developing theological curriculum and programs for Christian leaders in sports, and also researching and writing on sports culture from a Christian perspective and working on the intersection of sports and Christianity.
