Faith in Practice: Episode 32: Jesus' Dream Team

Everybody loves a dream team… until it’s your rival building it.In this episode, Kurt uses sports—from LeBron’s superteams to personal basketball stories—to explore a deeper question: why do we chase talent, security, and proven success… while Jesus chose the exact opposite?When Jesus builds His team in the Gospels, He doesn’t recruit the most qualified, polished, or influential people. He chooses fishermen, a tax collector, a zealot—ordinary, unproven individuals with messy backgrounds and conflicting perspectives.So why them?This episode breaks down the contrast between how the world builds teams and how Jesus builds people—and what that means for how we see others and ourselves.Chapters:00:00 – Why We Build “Dream Teams”03:30 – My Personal Dream Team Story09:00 – How Jesus Built His Team13:30 – Why Jesus Chose the Unqualified17:30 – What This Means for How You See PeopleIf you’ve ever felt unqualified, overlooked, or unsure of your place, this episode offers a different perspective:Jesus isn’t building a team of the best—He’s building people who are willing.Connect with Kurt:Instagram: @higherpowersportspt
