Today on the show Gibbs talks with Team Lancaster Thunder about the Home Run Derby festivities from Philadelphia. Childlike joy can be hard to find in a world full of struggle and pain. Last night when a kid caught a Schwarbomb and had a spontaneous group hug jumping up and down with his family that was fun to watch. Do we have childlike faith and joy in Jesus Christ? When an All-Star player slows down to take time with fans we appreciate it, when they don't it is easy to be critical. The opportunity that baseball All-Stars have to bless is equal to the opportunity in front of you and I today. How will you seize the moment? Be like Jordan Walker, six straight shots on his final out. Gibbs talks about the Iron-Man bat, starts dipping his toes into the waters of football season, fantasy football, and offers this question to team Lancaster Thunder; who would you have quarterback your college football team, Vince Young, Baker Mayfield, or Tim Tebow? Gibbs feels Tebow is disrespected often in the world of college football. Go Make Plays! Remember... We are "NOT JUST FANS"!

Also what sporting event ticket would you buy with $10,000? Gibbs talks about the Home Run Derby championship necklace featuring a mini-Liberty Bell and the excellent innovation the Seattle Seahawks made for their players on the recently distributed Super Bowl Champion Rings. As followers of Jesus and those loved by God may we be devoted in our obedience to God's word and undivided in our awareness of the love of God and in our love for God. Go Make Plays!

Today on the show Gibbs talks with Team Lancaster Thunder about Belgium paving the country roads of Team USA in a fizzling ending to a sizzling start for the men's national team. It was a little bit of a picture of the whole July 4 weekend which saw the country enduring record heat culminating in tremendous storms which put a damper on the highly anticipated fireworks celebrating 250 years of the USA being a country. This sums up the Men's soccer team in the test against Belgium as well. Do not lose heart USA Badlands Booker still chugged a gallon of lemonade in 21 seconds at the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating party and the strawberry's and cream at Wimbledon are still fresh and ready for consumption. Would you rather eat Strawberry's and Cream at a sporting event or Hotdogs, Chips, and Lemonade? American Football approaches. Best of all we can boast in the cross of Christ as Paul expresses in Galatians which never runs out or disappoints. GO MAKE PLAYS! Remember we are "NOT JUST FANS"!

Today on the show Gibbs talks with team Lancaster Thunder about the dramas that unfolded at the World Cup on Monday night June 29. Two games were decided from the penalty spot after 120 minutes of competition and the tension was thick as World Cup dreams were on the line. Gibbs was drawn to thoughts of eternity as he watched the shootout between Germany and Paraguay unfold. He was also taken back to the 1994 World Cup sadness of Roberto Baggio and a memorable miss from the spot in a World Cup final that Baggio still seems to carry with him to this day. Every person on earth has a future appointment with the triune God. Just as a penalty kick is full of tension and confrontation; for those under the wrath of God, that meeting will be fearsome and pressure packed. For those who have repented the joy will be unspeakable and the rewards greater than one can imagine. Penalties or Victories what will be your experience with God on judgement day?

Currently the World Cup surges on and you see team and fan spirit on full display. The power of people working together is undeniable. Oklahoma hoists a College World Series Trophy and not one player accomplished that feat alone. Tonight is the NBA draft and teams are looking to add players that create a championship mix. These players entering the league will need support if they are to grow and thrive. Even players in single competitor sports like Wyndham Clark current US Open champion required a caddy and coaches and support from his team to hoist the trophy; he is not alone in his pursuits.
