We’re back with Part 3 of our Away Game conversation with Brian Smith and Ed Uszynski, and today we walk through how the book is structured and why it matters for every Christian parent in youth sports.

👉 Ed explains that the opening chapters are all about awareness—helping parents recognize their God-given role in discipling their kids and seeing how the $40 billion youth sports industry is shaping us without us even realizing it.

👉 Brian unpacks the middle section: sport culture versus spiritual formation. Left unchecked, sports can form pride, anxiety, and entitlement. But if we parent with a different scoreboard, those same moments can be opportunities to grow love, peace, joy, and self-control.

👉 The final chapters land with game-day discipleship and even a theology of play—reminding us that when our kids play, they are reflecting the creativity and delight of God himself.

This is Episode 110, and it might be the clearest picture yet of why Away Game is such an important guide for parents.
