  • Humans are designed to be both spiritual and physical, so we find enjoyment in using our bodies to compete with ourselves and each other.
  • Sports (with good guidance) can have positive impacts on our physical and mental wellbeing.
  • Playing sports can also teach us how to confront challenges and hardships in our lives, and teach us how to adapt and overcome those hardships.

Diving Deeper

Luke 9:57-62

In this section of Luke, Jesus explains what it means to follow him. It can be a challenging thing to follow Jesus, and at times, we may have to give up good things in order to follow him. It can take time, dedication, and even sacrifice. Spend some time processing and praying about how these words of Jesus could affect your life.
