What happens when faith collides with youth sports? How can we ensure that our children are not only developing their physical abilities, but also their spiritual ones? As a former college athlete and now a coach, I've had to wrestle with these questions and many more. Join me in this episode as we examine the world of fall baseball, club sports, and the far-reaching effects they can have on our children.

We kick off the episode reminiscing about the hilarious Vintage Jesus videos from our college days, before diving into a more serious discussion about the impact injuries can have on a team dynamic. We debate the potential pitfalls of false confidence gained from competing in lesser leagues, and the importance of focusing on development rather than winning. The conversation takes a critical turn as we scrutinize the integrity of club sports, discussing the need for intentionality when creating a club or organization, and the necessity of being mindful of our surroundings.

As we venture into the intersection of faith and sports, we reflect on the potential repercussions of missing church services in pursuit of a sporting career and how sports can also serve as a form of worship. We stress the need for courage in sports ministry and discuss how we can challenge the status quo in club sports and initiate a positive shift. Are you ready to challenge the narrative with us? Tune in and let's change the world of youth sports together.
