Halftime: Yellowstone is Wild

From the Touchline

I shared, last week, a reflection from a recent family vacation to Yellowstone National Park. This week, another reflection from my time there and this time it has to do with the wildness that we encountered there. It might seem a far stretch to speak about wildness and connect it somehow into faith and football, but if you saw the scenes from the Copa America Final in Miami, maybe not so much so.

Today, on the podcast, in the amount of time that a coach gives a halftime team talk, I reflect on the wildness of Yellowstone and the proclivity of the human heart to chase after and a certain kind of wildness. We need to pay heed to the warnings and come back to the safety and protection that God offers us from the wildness of this world.

From the Touchline is a short-feature (10-15 min) podcast with Rev Brad Kenney, Founder and Executive Director of Soccer Chaplains United and Volunteer Chaplain to the Colorado Rapids of Major League Soccer. Rev Brad and occasional guests touch on various issues around the topics of faith, family, and football (soccer).
