TORPEDOS OF GRACE AWAY

Have you ever had an experience or met someone, and you were never the same after that interaction? What comes to mind? Today on the show Gibbs talks with Team Lancaster Thunder about the new weapon the Bronx Bombers unleashed on baseball this past week the "Torpedo Bat". Interestingly the bat is not totally new, it has been around for awhile. Giancarlo Stanton was swinging one during his playoff home run festival last October. It took the Yankees hitting 15 home runs in a weekend for people to become aware of the potential. Now the orders are piling in from around the baseball world. The tush push is on trial today at the NFL meetings. Steph Curry changed the way basketball is played with his skill shooting 3s. Jesus came and the world was never the same! When you benefit in life from something good, it is not just for your own good! Be generous with your abundance, be generous with the good news of Jesus Christ! Go MAKE PLAYS! We are "NOT JUST FANS"!

SMALL IS BIG

Today on the show Gibbs talks with team Lancaster Thunder about the exciting realities of buzzer beaters, contributions from the bottom of the order, and the wonderful ritual of Opening Day Baseball. Teamwork, collaboration, and the small details are all components of what makes sport so dynamic and magnetic. Last night on opening day a little-known catcher batting #9 for the Chicago Cubs contributed 5 RBIs to a winning effort in Arizona. You see excellent and committed passing and dedicated defense in the March Tournament and you are drawn in by people executing the small things well to produce a championship brand of basketball. In John 6 you see Jesus take what looked like a small contribution from an unknown boy and turn it into a stunning miracle! God is at work in the world and the Triune God is masterful at taking the small and turning it into something big! Go Make Plays! We are "Not Just Fans"! Please share the show! 

10% DIFFERENCE MAKER

Today on the show Gibbs talks with Team Lancaster Thunder about Duke Basketball's Head Coach Jon Scheyer being emotional at the podium after Duke's recent win when talking about Duke guard Tyrese Proctor who has lived his life in a unique way after failure. The coach was drawn to tears talking about how instead of running away Tyrese Proctor engaged critique and coaching with willingness and how that is a rare quality. Gibbs talks about the one leper who returned to thank Jesus for His healing and how that is 10% of the group who benefited from mercy of Christ. Gibbs talks about the opportunity in front of us to live lives of thanksgiving, mercy, and generosity so the Lord may do work through us for His glory. Go Make Plays! We are "NOT JUST FANS".

ENERGIZED BY FAITH

Today on the show Gibbs talks with Team Lancaster Thunder about three reasons he loves the NCAA Basketball Tournament. Growing up wrestling the rabbit ears to try and get a view of the game, but ultimately listening to a lot of hoops on the radio still holds a nostalgic place in Gibbs heart during this time of the year. Do you still use a paper bracket? Gibbs talks about the Boston Celtics selling for 6.1 Billion Dollars, the idea of baseball cards as art, and the opportunity to eat Tiramasu out of a Yankees helmet at the ballpark this summer. Finally, what would you choose: Opening day tickets to the game of your choice or a trip to the Savannah Bananas? GO MAKE PLAYS! We are "NOT JUST FANS!"

Today on the show Gibbs talks with Team Lancaster Thunder about the final risk of impact. The upside risk of generational impact. Though some of the cost of growth is comfort, time, and giving up things that are good for things that are best the outcome could be generational impact for God's glory! We talk about the upcoming March Madness tournament, NFL Free Agency, and how the San Francisco 49ers could upend the NFL Draft and rejuvenate their franchise.

Today on the show Gibbs talks with Team Lancaster Thunder about impact, NFL Free Agency, Jordan baseball cleats, and Steph Curry Golf shoes. In addition, take a little time to appreciate the historic accomplishments of Alex Ovechkin. When we live inside clear Big Y's and start to live with intentionality it can often create friction and even trial. The plays we are trying to make might upset existing comfort and could provoke opposition. This is a threat to living life with a return on impact in mind. Are you ready for double coverage? Do you have people around you to pick you up when you get knocked down like we see in the example of the Apostle Paul in Acts. He get stoned and left for dead and other believers gather around him, and he goes back into the city. He endures! Go make Plays! We are "Not Just Fans".

Today on the show Gibbs talks with Team Lancaster Thunder about the leadership situation unfolding at spring training with the Boston Red Sox. Rafael Devers wants to play 3rd base, the team wants him to be open to other opportunities. How does this get resolved? As we consider how to have an impact in life Gibbs talks about the first of 3 ways desire for impact comes with a triple threat. The first threat of desiring impact is it can have a cost on you personally. We may well have to change and grow personally in order to be prepared for impact. Gibbs talks about Jesus earthly father Joseph and how His obedience to the Lord had a cost. Gibbs talks about how agents of professional athletes bare a cost in order to represent the players! We must be willing to take the brunt force of impact so that we can have an impact. Are you willing to make the sacrifices that are required to be prepared for impact? Go Make Plays!

Today on the show Gibbs is talking about Return On Impact! This past weekend there was a picture taken of a young Sixers rookie intently watching as Stephen Curry warmed up for their game.

Do we desire to live lives of impact! Are we seeking the Lord to help us prepare for impact? What 4 coaches would fill out your football coaching staff if you could pick? Go Make Plays!
