Youth Sports, Healthy Families, and the Future of the Church

Today, I listened to a very well-done podcast from The Gospel Coalition on the topic of youth sports. As the father of seven children, one of whom is now a college athlete, this is something our family has had to navigate and continues to navigate. The podcast features interviews with researchers, former pro athletes, school administrators, pastors, and parents. It covers everything from the changes in youth sports over the years to church attendance, benchwarming, and the glory of God. There is a lot of information to consider and some helpful advice. You can listen to it on their website (with the transcript) or on YouTube, Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
