What Does the Bible Say About Sports? | Red Letters Rewind Episode 20

Competitor Quiz and more: https://beacons.ai/redletterssports Subscribe for sports analysis with perspective. Today on Red Letters Sports, we answer the question, "What does the Bible say about sports?" Paul talked about running and boxing more than once in Scripture — and he wasn't just reaching for a metaphor. He was writing to cities that hosted real athletic competition, and his readers had watched it with their own eyes. So what does the Bible actually say about sports, training, and competing? We break down five verses that answer that question directly.

State Champion Coach Stuart Floyd on Discipline, Character, and What Really Matters

He coached a team to a state championship — but ask him what he's most proud of, and the trophy isn't even in the top three. In this episode of Red Letters Sports, host Kevin sits down with Coach Stuart Floyd, head coach of the reigning state champions, to talk about what actually gets built in a football program before anyone's handing out hardware. Not the highlight reel. Not the ring ceremony. The discipline nobody sees. The seasons before anyone was watching. The habits, character, and accountability that outlast a season. In this conversation, you'll hear: * What Coach Floyd asks of his players that has nothing to do with football skill * The years of unglamorous work that came before the championship * How he builds character in a locker room, not just a scheme on a whiteboard * What he actually wants his players to carry with them once football is over This is Red Letters Sports — sports-first, faith-driven conversations with coaches, athletes, and competitors who are training for something bigger than the scoreboard. 📖 Grab the Red Letters Sports devotional book: amzn.to/4fBMDng🔗 More resources: beacons.ai/redletterssports Train for life.

Second Chances, Lawsuits, and the Collapse of College Sports Rules | Red Letters Rewind Episode 18

Charles Bediako played two seasons at Alabama, signed three NBA contracts, never played in an actual NBA game — and then sued the NCAA to get back on the court. A judge said yes. Five games later, a different judge said no.He's not the only one. Diego Pavia's lawsuit cracked open a rule that gave hundreds of JUCO players an extra year of eligibility. James Nnaji went straight from a pro contract in Europe to four fresh years of college ball. Amari Bailey actually played in the NBA — and he might be next.This is the story of what happens when the rules can't keep up with the money — and why I actually think the NCAA has this one right. College was built to prepare you for the marketplace. The moment it becomes the marketplace, it stops being able to do that job. We've built a culture that keeps extending adolescence and calling it compassion. This episode is about what it costs the people who never got to file a lawsuit.📖 Want a free 5-day sports devotional?
