    The Soccer Psalms – Psalm 134
    Apr 23 2025
    Psalm 134 is a song that would have been sung by worshippers as they were leaving the temple in Jerusalem and are blessing the Levite workers who remain there readying the temple for the next day.

    The Soccer Psalms – Psalm 2
    Apr 9 2025
    Today, on the podcast, we continue going through The Soccer Psalms. I read the 2nd Psalm and Soccer Psalm from my recent book, and offer a reflection and mediation on understanding that there is evil in the world.

    Today, on the podcast, I read—Psalm 1 and Soccer Psalm 1—from my recent book, The Soccer Psalms. In the reflection and mediation questions, we consider what it looks like to live a life as a footballer and as a person that follows a road which seeks out the pathway of God. Psalm 1 is the […]

    Prayer – The Lord’s Prayer as a Game Plan for Life
    Mar 19 2025
    Prayer is one of the pivotal practices that Christian people focus in on during the season of Lent and the lead up to Easter.

    Ash Wednesday is today, and as the season of Lent begins, three spiritual disciplines come more sharply into focus: fasting, giving, and prayer.
