SPORTS: A GLOBAL LANGUAGE

Today on the show Gibbs talks with Team Lancaster Thunder about the unexpected impact and emotions that were stirred in him as he listened to the global radio calls from the Super Bowl of Cooper Dejean's Pick six. Sports is indeed a global language that transcends cultures, languages, prejudices, and economic status. This is a curious phenomenon how a little round or oblong ball can be given such power by humans. Examining the global language of sports brought Gibbs to the global impact of Jesus Christ and he shares from Revelation 5 about that glorious day when all the people Jesus has saved from every nation from all-time are together for the first time in the same time and place to worship him at the great feast in the new kingdom. The good news of Jesus is the ultimate transcendent global language. A firm anchor for hope that never fades. Go make plays! We are "Not Just Fans"!

LUK@ YOUR TRUST GAME

Today on the show Gibbs is talking with Team Lancaster Thunder about how the unimaginable has happened once again in sports. The NBA has succeeded in stealing early sports headlines from the NFL in the early part of Super Bowl week. That is highly difficult to do, but here we are as the NBA is working through the aftermath of the Luka for Anthony Davis trade package. Dallas seems to be full of grief, because they are Cowboys fans? NO, because Luka is in LA! Gibbs talks about that trade, and he celebrates the trade of Fox to the Spurs. When life gets bumpy and surprising where do you place your trust? When people hurt and disappoint you, where do you place your trust? When you succeed beyond what you believed to be true, where do you place your trust? On Christ the solid rock we stand, all other ground is sinking sand. We are "NOT JUST FANS"! Go make plays!

CHIPS & MVP's OR MVMES?

We discuss what the MVP trophy is actually symbolic of and whether or not to win an MVP your team should have to win the championship!

We talk about the NHL being the Toyota of professional sports. Finally, Gibbs talks about how Caitlin Clark is missing an opportunity to grow the footprint of the lady's game by not shooting in the NBA 3-point competition.

COMMUNICATION: LOMBARDI TROPHY OXYGEN

Today on the show Gibbs talks with Team Lancaster Thunder about the importance of communication in accomplishing; well, anything. Over the weekend reports surfaced about the Phoenix Suns and a lack of communication in the locker room. Early in the football season it seemed there were communication issues in the Eagles locker room between the head coach and QB1. These have seemingly been resolved. On the contrary, the Kansas City Chiefs and the harmony that seems present in their locker room from a communication standpoint looks exemplary. Communication is the air that championship cultures breath. The underrated difference maker. How is your communication? Do you enjoy the rigorous work of communication? Are there any relationships that could use some attention? Seek the Lord for help! Go Make Plays! We are "Not Just Fans"!

ALEX, DISRESPECT FOR $1000 PLEASE

Ichiro missed a unanimous Baseball Hall Of Fame selection by one vote, Victor Wembenyama not voted an NBA All Star Starter, Deion can't get more money for the program, EVERY TEAM THAT HAS PLAYED THE KC CHIEFS THE LAST 8 YEARS, DISRESPECT FROM THE REFS! It is easy to stir up the feeling of disrespect in life. Jesus talks about loving our enemies and handling opponents with grace. Ichiro wants to get a drink with the person who did not vote for him.
