Sports: competition and calling – Thomas Lake and Kelly Clark

Sports are one of the most notable places in which people are highly, almost violently competitive - and yet sports can be good for us, too. So where do we go wrong? How does healthy competition become something much darker? In this excerpt from his talk at Q Nashville in April 2014, Sports Illustrated writer Thomas Lake talks about his own sports obsession and what it means for all of us. What if following your passion leads to worldly success, to weatlh, fame, and power? What does service look like from here? Can you balance the pressures of success while seeking to make disciples? Snowboarder/Olympic Gold medalist Kelly Clark has wrestled with these questions while blazing a trail of calling as an athlete. Listen how her Christian faith pushes her toward excellence, as well as how she fosters a servant's heart.
