I have podcasted before on The Emmaus Road as a biblical text that helps us to make sense of grief, but as Luke 24:13-35 is one of my favorite texts, it has grown on me a bit more with some new and different insights and I wanted to revisit it again during this month of May. May is usually an emphasis on mental health and mental health is a massive issue in professional sports, especially soccer. So how can we integrate more of our Christian faith and belief with aides and helps with our mental health? I think certain texts in the Bible stand out to help us more.
Today, I share two lessons in part one of this months feature. The first lesson might be simply stated that God is always making the first move and coming toward us. Secondly, we might be blind (emotionally, spiritually, etc) for any number of reasons, but that doesn’t mean that God isn’t with us or near. I recently preached a sermon on this same subject that you can view here on the Cherry Creek Presbyterian Church YouTube channel.
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.
