Podcast Episode: Mike Nawrocki with Brian Smith & Ed Uszynski – Away Game: A Christian Parent’s Guide to Navigating Youth SportsThis week on the podcast, host Mike Nawrocki sits down with authors Brian Smith and Ed Uszynski to discuss their new book, Away Game: A Christian Parent’s Guide to Navigating Youth Sports.Youth sports can be one of the most powerful arenas for shaping character and values.

This conversation explores how parents can help their children not only become stronger athletes but also grow as devoted followers of Christ.Why This Episode Matters for Christian Parents in Youth SportsIf we as parents don’t take ownership of discipling our kids in the context of athletics, today’s sports culture will do it for us.

Away Game equips families to see sports through a biblical lens and to raise athletes who play with both excellence and eternal perspective.Key Takeaways from Away GameUse sports to instill biblical values in children and teens.Keep joy, gratitude, and play at the center of every practice and game.Deepen parent-child connections through car-ride conversations and post-game reflections.Spark faith-based discussions about pressure, failure, competition, and teamwork.Counter toxic sports culture by modeling kingdom virtues like humility, self-control, and peace.Transforming Sports into DiscipleshipAway Game empowers moms and dads to embrace their role as spiritual mentors throughout their child’s athletic journey. From little league to high school sports, every practice, every game, and every post-game conversation can become a winning opportunity for spiritual formation and family discipleship.-----------The Bible for Kids is now a 501 (c) (3) non-profit, and we'd love to have you join us in our mission of reaching kids with the message of the Bible.
