4th Global Congress on Sport and Christianity

The 4th Global Congress on Sport and Christianity held last week at Baylor University’s Truett Seminary was epic. A great time. Many old friendship revisited. Some new friendships formed. A lot of thoughtful presentations. I am still trying to process it all. In today’s edition of From the Touchline, I share the audio recording from my presentation: Game Plans and Gospel: Translating the Scriptures for Sport. In my talk I shared the motivations for translating and then some of the biblical examples that I leaned into to validate the process. I also shared a few guardrails and then encouraged others to consider how they might make God’s Word more accessible and understandable for people in their sporting contexts. 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.
