Meet Luke Woodason

Upper Cumberland FCA

TTU Area Rep

Luke Woodason is beginning his third year serving with FCA, and his passion for ministry is deeply rooted in his own journey as a former Tennessee Tech student-athlete.

Having experienced firsthand the pressure to find identity in performance, Luke is driven to help athletes discover that their true value and purpose are found in Christ, not in their sport. That “why” is what brought him back home to serve the campus that shaped him.

One of Luke’s favorite moments in ministry is watching a student realize that their identity is so much bigger than athletics. Recently, he has been especially drawn to the story of Zacchaeus in Luke 19, a reminder that when someone is willing to take bold steps to get closer to Jesus, transformation follows. It’s a picture of the heart change he longs to see in the athletes he serves.

Luke met his wife, Hayley, at Tennessee Tech while both were involved in FCA, and they married in 2016. They now have four children, Kenora, Mitty, Sunny, and Elwood, and love cheering on the Golden Eagles together. Luke holds a Bachelor’s in Education from Tennessee Tech and a Master’s in Ministry Leadership from Southeastern University. His background includes years of pastoral leadership in middle school, high school, and young adult ministries, as well as several years working in church technology consulting.

Outside of ministry, Luke enjoys attending Tech sporting events with his family. He currently serves the Tennessee Tech campus through FCA. Wings Up!

If you’d like to pray for Luke, he asks for prayer that student-athletes at Tech would have open hearts to discover their true identity in Christ, and for wisdom and endurance as he walks alongside them in that journey.
