Jubal McDaniel joins me today for part 2 of our June Soccer series. Jubal is the volunteer chaplain for the Tacoma Defiance and serves as the Soccer Chaplains United Pacific Coast Chaplain Manager and our conversation has centered around the two devotional books that we worked on — for the recent World Cups and the subsequent revisions.

June 2024 marks our release of the revision of last year’s Five Women You Meet in Faith and Football. With new artwork and a more timeless feel, Jubal and I look back on that devotional and the work done on both devos and how the art moved or spoke to us.

Jubal and I also play a fun game of Crosses with Rev! It’s debatable whether he attempted to slow the pace down…all good fun, though!

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).

Also, don’t forget that you can listen in our app, SoccrChapUtd, in the Apple and Google store.

June is the start of a very busy soccer season — international friendlies, the Euros, readying for the summer Olympics, as well as the various leagues throughout the U.S. Today on the podcast, I am joined by Jubal McDaniel. Jubal is the volunteer chaplain for the Tacoma Defiance and serves as the Soccer Chaplains United Pacific Coast Chaplain Manager.

Jubal and I take a look back at the devotional books that we worked on — one for the 2022 Men’s World Cup and one for the 2023 Women’s World Cup. With the revision of Five Women You Meet in Faith and Football coming out this month, we reflect back on the artwork and graphic design and layout help that Jubal provided for the two devotionals.

And in part 2 (next week), Jubal and I play a fun game of Crosses with Rev! You won’t want to miss it.

Phelps Elects to Not Renew Soccer Chaplains United Board of Directors

Kalyn Phelps joined the Soccer Chaplains United Board of Directors earlier this year in a one-year term, but has decided to not renew for another term moving forward. Part of her decision to not renew, stems from a sense that her plate has been too full — as mom of three, working for a local non-profit, and with a new season of discernment which lies ahead.

Kalyn played a pivotal role in leading the art for the Five Women You Meet in Faith and Football, our devotional offering created for the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup. She created several pieces and helped lead the art team and guide the vision for the devotionals artwork. The passion for art and several emerging opportunities have Kalyn considering whether there is a small business/art studio type of work in the future or perhaps returning into art education. Each of which is demanding considerable time and energy to take on.

One of my favorite pieces from this years devotional.

For Kalyn, it did take some time to full grasp the vision for Soccer Chaplains United, but after sitting in and helping to interview a few of our chaplain candidates this past year, she said that her eyes were opened to the extensive work that a chaplain does with and for the people in soccer.

The work of chaplaincy cannot be summarized by just a piece of paper or writing on a website — because of the highly relational nature, it’s best when experienced first hand.

Kalyn, on the nature of chaplaincy

Kalyn has offered to stay connected into the work of Soccer Chaplains United and is interested in some further collaborations where her passion for art and soccer might combine.

We are grateful for Kalyn and her time of service and we wish her well as she pursues God’s next endeavor!

The 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup is soon to wrap up. The From the Touchline podcast has felt a little different the past few weeks as we’ve been going through Soccer Chaplains United’s new devotional book, Five Women You Meet in Faith and Football with a look at the lives of five women who appear in Jesus’ lineage — Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba, and Mary.

In this final week, we meet Mary. One of the wonderful attributes of Mary is that she is receptive to the news that the angel brings her. There would be great adversity with being pregnant outside of marriage for her — but she responds to this news in a wonderful way and sets an example for all of us. Her response is contrasted against Zechariah’s in a way that demands a bit of reflection and study. Let’s consider her receptivity, today.

As we celebrate the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, the From the Touchline podcast feels a little different. We’ve been going through Soccer Chaplains United’s new devotional book, Five Women You Meet in Faith and Football. This five-week, daily devotional looks at the lives of five women who appear in Jesus’ lineage — Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba, and Mary.

This week, we meet Bathsheba. The author of II Samuel 11 describes her as “exceedingly” beautiful. Sometimes we don’t feel beautiful. I know — I was ashamed of my body type and size for many years of life. Footballers, too, often have many self-image issues that they have to deal with. Some are internal and some are external. Today, we look at the issue of beauty and how we can reflect a God-given sense of beauty. Our faith should help us think differently about beauty.

As we celebrate the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup for the next few weeks, the From the Touchline podcast will feel a little different. It will feature a devotional reading from Soccer Chaplains United’s new devotional book, Five Women You Meet in Faith and Football. This five-week, daily devotional looks at the lives of five women who appear in Jesus’ lineage — Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba, and Mary.

This week, we look at Ruth, specifically at how hard Ruth works. Ruth has a great work ethic. So much so, that she likely puts some of the locals to shame. Footballers put in a lot of hard work — but those that have a good work ethic tend to rise to the top. There are times though when it’s hard to put in a good shift — others look down on us, oppress or abuse us, or our hard work seems to go unnoticed. How can we better cope and maintain a good work ethos — on and off the field? Today, we get at the best way to tackle this issue.

This five-week, daily devotional looks at the lives of five women who appear in Jesus’ lineage — Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba, and Mary.

This week, we look at Rahab. Rahab is brave. In the face of extreme opposition and high stakes, she hides the spies and sends the king and his soldiers on a wild-goos chase. As a footballer, are you brave? On the pitch? Off of it? What about as coach or manager? Do you have players that exhibit bravery?

We are celebrating the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup being co-hosted by Australia and New Zeland. For the next five weeks, the podcast will feature a devotional reading from Soccer Chaplains United’s new devotional book, Five Women You Meet in Faith and Football. This five-week, daily devotional looks at the lives of five women who appear in Jesus’ lineage — Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba, and Mary.

This week, we look at Tamar. And, specifically, we look at the side of her that displayed a brilliant tactician (Day 3). Have you ever thought about how crafty Tamar needed to be in order to see justice happen? Well, that’s just part of our consideration for today’s podcast. Listen to hear and reflect more.
