Would you recommend that for your favorite sports team? Teams are great, but at some point in time, a leader will need to stand up – and lead. An organizational team without a leader is like an athletic team without a coach. I try to never appoint or release a team to do work until we make sure a leader is chosen.

Sunday sports events. And, if you really want to show you love the community — support the sports teams they support. Learn the competition – Before you get too excited — it’s not other churches. It’s anything that has the people’s attention you are trying to reach besides a church. Major festivals. Community traditions.

Sometimes I spend time thinking about the sports drink waiting for me when I get home. I check my calories burned. I do it for exercise. I run for personal well-being. I run because I love to run. Running isn’t always easy. I think about how much my legs hurt.

My home is quieter than it once was when two boys kept the hallway filled with the sounds of football, basketball, and any other sport that Mom will let them get away with in the house, but there’s still plenty of noise and activity. Often, I find myself surrounded by the “stuff” of life.

Going to the lake, attending a sporting event, or participating in traveling ball/dance is no longer taboo. Much of this has to do with the cultural implications we already deal with every Sunday. No longer is Sunday reserved as a day of rest from other activities. Some of it has to do with the schedules of our church services.

One of the benefits of being in a healthy church or playing on a local sports team is your children get to be around other people and are often forced to figure out how to get along with each other. What is a way you could lead your family in a project to give back to others? Live life with other people.

Tell your kids they can do 1-2 seasonal sports. Set up your voicemail to say: “I’m on vacation. I need the rest from work, so I will only be returning phone calls this week that have the word ‘emergency’ in them.”. Train them to rest. Train them to do 1-2 things, rather than allowing them to try to do everything! Have some YOU and GOD time.

It’s great to teach our children how to play sports or to do well in school, and I think we should, but our greatest goal should be to help them be people who aspire to have good character – specifically the character of Christ. Most people who follow my ministry closely know this is one area of my life I have taken very serious.
