A Burden For The Times

Impact Sports

Burden Brothers Season 4 Episode 117

Sports are everywhere in our culture—from Friday night lights to the Super Bowl, from youth leagues to Olympic glory. They inspire, entertain, and even unite communities. But they also come with pitfalls: idolatry, misplaced identity, and unhealthy priorities.

In this episode, we dig into:

  • The positives of sports: discipline, teamwork, fitness, and community
  • The darker side: idolatry, misplaced identity, and overemphasis in family life
  • How to engage with sports as followers of Christ—keeping them in their proper place as a gift from God
  • Practical wisdom for parents raising kids in competitive sports
  • Why balance, stewardship, and perspective matter more than championships

We also share personal stories, biblical insights, and even a few lighthearted moments (yes, golf and fishing made the list).

Whether you’re a die-hard fan or a casual observer, this conversation invites you to think deeply about how sports shape our culture and our faith.
