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".

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.
