Revised Five Women You Meet in Faith and Football Available!

Just shy of one year from our initial publication of the devotional book, Five Women You Meet in Faith and Football, we’ve released a new edition.

The devotional looks at the lives of five women listed as part of Jesus’ genealogy found in the Gospel of Matthew. 25 different readings examine some of the visible attributes out of their lives and personalities. These virtues and traits might also be visible and valued in the people that we see in the Beautiful Game!

One year on from our first publication and we’ve revised and republished our first devotional. Last year, for the 2022 FIFA Men’s World Cup, Soccer Chaplains United published an 8-week devotional designed to cover Advent and Christmas and the World Cup, all at the same time. The original devotional which is still available on Amazon (and in Spanish and Portuguese) went through some slight revisions to make the book and writing more timeless and more useful for other 8-week periods in a given season. The book title and cover art has been changed. You can find it on Amazon under the title The Light is Coming | A Soccer Devotional.

On today’s episode of From the Touchline, Rev Brad talks about some of the backstory behind the putting the devotional together. From the artwork and the writing, he shares about how things came together and how the theme of “light” emerged as artists and writers worked independent of one another.

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).

Five Women You Meet in Faith and Football

,

I’m pleased to announce the completion and publication of a new devotional book that I’ve been working on in advance of the 2023 Women’s World Cup. The book is entitled, Five Women You Meet in Faith and Football. It is available globally on Amazon. The devotional looks at the lives of the five women that are part of Jesus’ genealogy found in the Gospel of Matthew. Each week gives a daily look at one of the visible attributes of these five women and offers a reflection on how this might lead and guide us as we follow Jesus and live out life in this world today.

The first week features a look at Tamar. Following on, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba, and then, finally, Mary all get five distinct looks at different attributes in their life and story. And there’s some amazing art work, too. Kalyn Phelps, our newest board member, headed up the art team and also added a few of her own masterful pieces, as well.

The book is available on Amazon in both ebook and paperback in English (links to Amazon-US). We also are willing to do some discounted bulk sale deals with people in soccer (teams/coaches/programs) and in soccer ministry. Reach out via email for more details: info@soccerchaplainsunited.org.

The 2022 FIFA Men’s World Cup is over and the time for the Soccer Chaplains United devotional is winding down.

Today, on the From the Touchline podcast, Rev Jordan Medas reads the Halftime reflection for Week 8, entitled: New Beginnings. As we get into the new year of 2023, there might be some new beginnings that you are needing to make — in life, in faith, family, or in football. What gifts do you have that you can bring? What things do you have that you can offer as an act of worship? Listen to learn more.

With the 2022 FIFA Men’s World Cup now behind us, the Soccer Chaplains United devotional transitions into the Christmas season. This week and next on the podcast, myself and author Jordan Medas wrap up the last two weeks of reading.

Today, on the From the Touchline podcast, I read the Kickoff reflection for Week 7, entitled: Love, G.O.A.T. For the past few weeks, I have hinted that there is something that “comes in first.” It’s not faith. It’s not hope — and we finally get down to what it is with this week’s reading. Understanding why love is the greatest of all time is an important part of our lives.

The 2022 FIFA Men’s World Cup Final was just a few days ago and Christmas Day is approaching. We pray for peace in our world. Soccer Chaplains United produced a devotional with themes of Advent and Christmas combined with football to celebrate this season. For the next few weeks on the podcast, myself and author Jordan Medas will read one of the weekly devotionals for the podcast.

We encourage you if you haven’t purchased the devotional, it’s available on Amazon in Spanish and English and Portuguese.

Today, on the From the Touchline podcast, Rev Jordan Medas reads the Halftime reflection for Week 6, entitled: Not a Forced Peace. There is “world peace” and then there is God’s peace — and the two are very different. World peace is often accomplished by military might and governmental oppression and we might wonder if it really is peace or more so imperialism. God’ peace is different and Rev Jordan shares more on today’s podcast.

Today, on the From the Touchline podcast, I read the Kickoff reflection for Week 5, entitled: Discovering True Joy. In our day and age we mistake many things for joy — joy is not merely happiness (effected by circumstances). There is a greater sense of longevity. It is not temporal, temporary. It is greater than mere pleasure. Seeking out joy means often looking for something ‘older’ and still yet to be.

Today, on the From the Touchline podcast, Rev Jordan Medas reads the Halftime reflection for Week 4, entitled: Sometimes, Faith is All We Have. At some point in life, we exhibit some kind of faith — faith in a chair we sit in, faith in a plane that we might travel or fly in, faith in our teammates in soccer. Sometimes we have nothing else left but faith. And faith in God is key. Listen to today’s podcast to learn more.
