Living Beyond Wins and Losses
Manage episode 443355503 series 3008831
If you’ve ever watched a pro athlete making a sign of the cross and pointing to the sky after catching a long TD bomb or smashing a homer, and asked yourself, “Does God really care what we’re doing out on the field?”, this week’s podcast is for you. Guest Jonathan Carr, a former collegiate golfer who’s now a coach and teacher, says we might be asking ourselves the wrong question—what we should really be asking is whether we care enough about what God’s doing. Jonathan and Nate Dewberry spend this episode discussing the intersections between faith and sports, and how we can give glory to God even in the heat of competition. When we remind ourselves there are actually things more important than winning, Jonathan says, we lessen our own anxiety, perform more consistently, and live a less arrogant, more Christlike existence.
