Running to Cover: Part 1 – Three Stories of God’s Care
Recently I wrote a short article for Baylor’s Faith and Sport Institute on the Purpose of Chaplaincy and also was a guest preacher for Cornerstone Community Church in Greeley, Colorado. In both the writing and sermon preparation, I attempted to weave together three stories with very close parallels into what I believe are 5 caring movements that God demonstrates towards us and also asks us to imitate as we care for others.No matter if you are a chaplain or pastor or you work in a particular industry, this model of caring is one that we are called (as Christians) to imitate and make part of our life practice.
In today’s episode, I share the three stories — Saint Martin’s initial story, the Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10), and the OG story of God covering Adam and Eve (Genesis 3). I make some comments on the stories and set up a foundation for the five caring movements that can be seen between the three in future podcast episodes.

The Soccer Psalms – Psalm 24
For a bit of fun, you can try singing Soccer Psalm 24 to the tune of “When the Saints Go Marching In.” It might seem silly to set these words to music, but music helps us to remember, and there are some important things in our walk of faith to remember out of Psalm 24. First, we must remember that the earth is the Lord’s. Second, we need to understand our place in that world and in the presence of a holy God (thus the question of who is able to ascend?). In the realization that perfection is really unattainable, we realize that we have a widening gap that exposes our need. We cannot be perfect through our own power or in our own attempts. This is where we need Jesus. And so, Christianity has often taken the Warrior King language of Psalm 24 and applied it to Jesus. And I believe it helps make Soccer Psalm 24 a good little soccer and faith chant, too.
The Soccer Psalms, is a self-published book available on Amazon which is also in Spanish, British English, Portuguese, and French. All books are available globally on Amazon and contain 31 psalms that have been translated into “soccer psalms” — with words, language, and metaphors that connect soccer to God’s Word. I also include some reflection on the context and writing as well as some questions for reflection. Check out the collection below:

The Soccer Psalms – Psalm 19
There is a beauty to the Beautiful Game and much of it has to do with the rules and laws and order that has been established over time and with much testing and even a growth and evolution of the game of soccer. Today’s podcast features Psalm 19 and Soccer Psalm 19 which speaks about God, God’s Word, and Soccer.
Psalm 19 neatly presents such a “defense” to us about the nature of God and his law (the Bible). By the end of the psalm, the writer (David) is praying fervently and personally to God for his assistance in living a blameless life. It’s a great psalm for us to consider how (God’s) order leads to life and flourishing and we can pursue it in football, in faith, and in other aspects of life.
