The Pro Fan League Podcast - Sports Talk From A Biblical Worldview

Today on the show Gibbs encourages Team Lancaster Thunder with the fact that trust is key to successful teams and the accomplishment of whatever goal you are working toward. Who do you trust? How do you decide who or what is trustworthy? Trust is a make-or-break ingredient. He talks about the book/movie "The Boys In The Boat", a story with many applications; trust, being one of the most clear and applicable. He talks about reliability and sacrifice and how Jayson Tatum is being rewarded with the largest contract in NBA history because the Boston Celtics trust him to represent the franchise in ongoing championship ways. He talks about how the Yankees trust Aaron Judge to anchor their lineup. We all are in situations where we are asking for trust and be required to give trust. The most important relationship to foster trust is trust in the LORD! Go make plays! We are "NOT JUST FANS"!

Today on the show Gibbs encourages Team Lancaster Thunder with how extraordinary the grace of God is towards people. We are talking about the NBA draft, Bronny James, and bizarre NBA draft philosophies. We talk about the global expansion of Basketball, and Gibbs thinks about how each human on earth has the opportunity to benefit from a relationship with a person who has more influence than themselves. He thinks about walking through the gates of New Jerusalem one day because of the work of Jesus Christ on our behalf, not because of anything we have earned. Go make PLAYS! We are "Not Just Fans!"

Today on the show Gibbs encourages Team Lancaster Thunder to have the faith of a mustard seed inside blessing and adversity. Take the journey to Tampa Bay and remember Santonio Holmes amazing game winning catch in Super Bowl 43. Often what creates a champion, or elevates the level of a player from All-Star to All-Pro is there effectiveness in making the right play while in traffic, or under intense pressure, or double coverage. The craftmanship of the Kansas City Chiefs Championship ring also demonstrates excellent precision in small spaces see it here.... https://youtu.be/7xdz3HRLpD8 God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit give us everything we need to thrive in both trial and blessing with hope and peace!
