NFL or Sunday Church? AAU every weekend? FANTASY SPORTS?! What is a Christian to do?

On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and good friend of the show, Jordan Rossler, talk through what the Bible says about sports as well as how Christians should view them. Sports are so popular today, especially in America, and can teach a lot of great values to kids and adults alike, but what do we do when a love of sports goes too far? Our hope is that as you listen to two sports lovers, you can see some godly principles as well as some warning signs to look for in the sports world as it relates to our faith.
