Balancing faith, church, and youth sports (with Pastor Johny Pereira)

Description

One of the common questions we get asked is how to balance youth/travel sports - which play games on Sundays - with church. If you play long enough, especially at club/competitive levels, those two things will inevitably come into conflict with each other.


But they don't have to compete with one another.


In this episode, Jonathan talks with Pastor Johnny Pereira about how we find the balance between church and youth sports. They also talk about the importance of helping your kid find their identity outside of their sport and how to prepare your kid for when they leave your house and go to college.


For everyone watching the week this episode comes out: Happy Easter!
