S5 | Ep 36 - Parenting Christian Athletes (Feat. Brian Smith & Ed Uszynski)

This week on the Momentum Ministry Partners Podcast, Eric sits down with Brian Smith and Ed Uszynski for a follow up conversation on youth sports, discipleship, and the role parents play in shaping their athletes beyond the game. Building on their previous discussion, this episode shifts the focus directly to parents, unpacking the pressures of modern sports culture, the weight of expectations, and the tension many feel between competition and spiritual growth. Brian and Ed share from both experience and honesty, offering a fresh perspective on how sports can become a powerful space for discipleship rather than distraction. From navigating identity and performance, to recognizing when sports begin to take a place they should not, this conversation challenges parents to rethink what success really looks like and how to lead their kids with intentionality, humility, and faith.  This episode will challenge the way you view sports, encourage you in your role as a parent, and give you practical ways to turn everyday moments into opportunities for discipleship.   Athletes in Action ⛹🏻‍♀️ Away Game Link 📕 Away Game Resources   Another great way to discover who we are?
