Constrained and sustained and still we rise
Manage episode 405756297 series 3380346
Speaker & Worship Leader:- Rachel Mackintosh
Recorded 10 March 2024 @ Auckland Unitarian Church
I have recently watched all three seasons of Ted Lasso.
I had been aware of the show for some time but had been put off by the moustache, and the fact that it seemed to be about sport. Though I admire physical grace, I really don’t care about all the winning and losing and fighting over a ball.
I had been missing out. Ted Lasso is a gift.
It is a gift that slowly unwraps. When one of the characters, Danny Rojas, says, “Football is life”, I like his joy but really don’t connect. Football isn’t my life.
Turns out though, that in Ted Lasso, football is a metaphor for life. Turns out that Ted Lasso himself really doesn’t care about all the winning and losing either. He cares about community and people being their best selves. He’s probably a Unitarian, though that doesn’t get mentioned in the script.
