This past December, I released a new book, The Soccer Psalms, as a self-published work on Amazon. (You can also find The Football Psalms-a British version-if you appreciate the different terms around the game). Both books are available globally on Amazon and contain 31 psalms that have been translated into “soccer psalms” — with words, language, and metaphors that connect soccer to God’s Word. I also include some reflection on the context and writing as well as some questions for reflection. Check out the book!

Today, on the podcast, I read—Psalm 6 and Soccer Psalm 6—from the book, and share the reflection and mediation questions. Injury can be one of the most difficult times in someone’s career — how do we get through those times? What role does faith play in healing and recovering from an injury? Is it selfish to pray to God for healing when there are so many other things going on in the world? Listen to learn more.

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).
