Episode 2 Summary
- The way most people engage with sports is not by playing them, it’s by watching them.
- Sports are entertaining and engaging, and the more invested we are in a sport or team or athlete, the more entertained and engaged we are.
- At their worst, sports can bring out pretty toxic traits in fans, but at their best, they remind us that we can have courage to face the adversity and hardships in our lives.
Discussion Questions

Do you have any sports you like to watch? Why do you think you like to watch them? Are there any you don't like?
-

Diving Deeper
1 Samuel 17
We’ve talked about it a lot, but read 1 Samuel 17—the story of David and Goliath. It’s apparent that it’s not just David who cannot stand Goliath’s blaspheming, but he’s the only one who does something about it. Maybe we’re not called to kill blasphemers in modern times, but we are called to be active and engaged in the world around us. Spend some time praying and asking the Lord for wisdom in how to best engage in the spaces where you live and work and play.
