Coach John Wooden said, “It’s what you learn after you know it all that counts.” This is just one pearl of wisdom from the winningest coach in basketball history. In this episode of By Your Life, we talk about the value of wisdom and wisdom in what you value.

EPISODE 448

 

There were some pretty gnarly dudes in the Bible. They never took the easy path in life. In fact Paul likened his journey of faith to an athlete saying he had “fought the good fight and finished the race.” There’s is a great amount we can learn in life from the intersection between sports and faith.  This week we are going to learn a little bit more about our faith journey by taking a look into sports. This week we have an expert on the topic, Bruce Wawrzyniak, the host of Catholic Sports Radio.

I’m almost 57. Fifty seven years of people, situations, issues, reaction, desires, disappointment, dreams, loves….This year on my birthday, I’m making the resolution to “not look back.”

To not look back at disappointment.

To not look back at rejection.

To not look back at loss.

Of course, looking back is important to do at times. I actually began to rediscover parts of my life during the imposed solitude of the pandemic that I hadn’t taken the time to integrate precisely because I hadn’t looked back. I needed to take the time to “connect the psychological-emotional-spiritual dots” between what I had experienced and lived through and what I was still carrying today in my heart and mind.

Making the connections is important. By making connections we can surrender to God what he has helped us recognize. We can let it go. We can understand it more deeply, even recognize where we may have been mistaken in our perception of what happened....

We go beneath the surface on the concepts of race and racism, tackling questions such as these: Are there biological races?  What does human variation tell us?  Is it racist to be aware of racial distinctions and generalities?  Is Donald Trump a racist, as much of the mainstream media claims?
