In this new series entitled, The Technical Area, Rev Brad shares some specific applications for certain biblical passages that help apply faith to football in simple, practical ways.

Today’s lesson, is on Mark 3:13-19. Here, Jesus is selecting, from amongst many people who are following him, a select twelve: the Apostles. These are going to be men who live with Jesus, travel with Jesus, learn from Jesus, and go out preaching and teaching and with authority from Jesus. The intentionality with which Jesus selects the Twelve is akin to a manager choosing the starting eleven for match day.

In this episode, Selecting Your Starting 11, Rev Brad examines Jesus’ actions here as a bit of a template for a person selecting their own team of people to surround them in different life moments and circumstances. He talks through six application points based off of six different elements highlighted in the text of Mark 3:13-19.

Special friend and technical director, Adam Smith (currently with Central Fuego Valley FC) is our guest introducer today.

In a new series entitled, The Technical Area, Rev Brad shares some specific applications for certain biblical passages that help apply faith to football in simple, practical ways.

Today’s lesson, is on Luke 13:6-9. Here, Jesus shares a parable with his disciples and thousands of others crowded around. Contextually, he’s relating this into repentance and getting relationships right. The parable that Jesus shares has some practical applications as we sometime will have to deal with damaged, diseased, or dying kinds of relationships in our lives — whether on the pitch, in the locker room, or at home.

In this episode, Working on Flourishing, Rev Brad shares some insights for the text that he often shares with people in soccer as they deal with relationship issues. After hearing a talk several years ago by Dr Henry Cloud, Rev Brad has continued to use the wisdom of the parable found in Luke 13 to help people in soccer in navigating the often difficult complexities of relationships within a team and organization in soccer.

Special friend and coach, Ross Paule (currently coaching Creighton Women’s Soccer) is our guest introducer today.
