The Pro Fan League Podcast - Sports Talk From A Biblical Worldview

RUN 2 THE LINE EVERY TIME

Today on the show Gibbs talks with Team Lancaster Thunder about the simple yet highly challenging discipline of running to the line every time. An easy goal but so challenging to execute in life. Often the difference between winning and losing, championship t-shirts and the agony of defeat is who can execute until the whistle blows and who starts to celebrate the victory before it has been earned. The furnace of playoff pressure recently melted the Knicks and Oilers but also provided the heat for the refinement of an all-time playoff moment from Aaron Nesmith, Haliburton, and the Pacers from Indiana. There is a lot of basketball to be hooped and a lot of plays to be made! Go make plays Lancaster Thunder! Jesus can be trusted! Remember, we are "NOT JUST FANS"! Thanks to all the men and women who have made sacrifices to preserve and defend the freedoms we enjoy in the United States.

TEACH THE SIMPLE

We talk about the fundamentals, skill, and grit of the teams left in the conference finals. Gibbs talks about old school baseball field maintenance. FIRE! Go Make Plays! We are "NOT JUST FANS".

LESSONS FROM LEGENDS AND CLOVERS

Today on the show Gibbs is talking with team Lancaster Thunder about the dangers of overconfidence which can lead to underperformance. Shohei Ohtani goes deep twice on Ohtani bobblehead night, the Boston Celtics beat the Knicks without Tatum, Anthony Edwards pays respects to Steph Curry's greatness on the basketball hardwood, and Soto believes he is playing the Yankees alone this weekend. All of these are varying examples of the dangers of overconfidence or the risk of losing sight of the sport's excellence on display in front of our eyes. Gibbs is realizing that He is only understanding a tiny glimpse of the greatness of the man Jesus Christ. Let's be careful to approach each day praying for humility to escape the dangers of overconfidence. Let us not lose the awe of the amazing. GO MAKE PLAYS! We are "NOT JUST FANS"!

TITANS ON THE CLOCK: 10:00
