The Faith Adjacency of The Olympics

Listen Later

In this latest episode, we’re going faster, higher, and stronger as we discuss the Olympics! Join Erin and Evan as we deep-dive the origins of this ancient Greek religious festival, explore how Christianity influenced the modern games, and discuss the sports metaphors throughout the New Testament. What is “muscular Christianity,” and what was the ultimate demise of the ancient games? You’ll have to listen to find out!
