TRAINING FOR HELPFULNESS

Today on the show Gibbs talks with Team Lancaster Thunder about training for helpfulness. Have you ever viewed the act of helping others something that you needed to train for? Jesus was amazing at being helpful to others. He desires his followers to become great at being helpful to others as well. We look at the example of Moses Malone and Charles Barkley to learn what it looks like to be helpful. We hear a tremendous perspective from former NFL player Andrew Whitworth on Bryce Young being benched with the Carolina Panthers. A great ending to the baseball season is upon us. Oakland we are sad to see the Athletics leave! October is approaching, the greatest sports month in the calendar year. Have a great weekend. Go Make Plays! We are "Not Just Fans!"

WHOA NOT WOE

Today on the show Gibbs talks with Team Lancaster Thunder about standing amazed! When was the last time you were amazed by something? When was the last time you experienced a moment where you stepped back and said that is crazy! Amazement does not always have to come from huge events, think about the evolution of sports gear over the last 100 years! It is crazy how different the uniform is for players now then in year 1900 across all sports! God has made this world to be taken dominion over by humans and over the course of history there have been many amazing things that have gone on! We crown a Pro Fan League Eliminator winner and discuss the first 3 weeks of the NFL season. GO MAKE PLAYS! We are "Not Just Fans!"

1 OF 1

Today on the show Gibbs talks with Team Lancaster Thunder about the idea of being 1 of 1. Shohei Ohtani made history last night by becoming the first member of the 50-50 club in baseball history. His mammoth stat line made baseball fans applaud in awe. He continues to add to his reputation as the most unique baseball player to ever step on the dirt of a baseball field. The reality is that every human is 1 of 1. Your thumbprint is different than every other person in the world. There are people you were made to impact that Mr. Ohtani never will. Gibbs updates everyone on his QB salary research project from Week 2 of the NFL season, and the Pro Fan League Eliminator continues to play out for another week! Go Make Plays! We are "NOT JUST FANS"!

O MANNING! WHERE ARCH WE WALKING TOO?

Today on the show Gibbs talks with Team Lancaster Thunder about walking in the Truth! All sports teams enter the arena with a gameplan in their minds. It is one thing to know the gameplan, it is a whole different thing to execute the gameplan! We talk about how teams that succeed both know the gameplan and execute it! Jesus calls us to both know the truth and to walk in the truth! There is a lot of knowledge about how championships are won in sports, but executing on that knowledge is challenging. Gibbs gives an update on the eliminator challenge, did you see that Manning run, and don't forget the NFL is not a quarterback driven league! Go Make Plays! We are "Not Just Fans"!

GAME OF THE DAY: YOU VS VAPOR

Today on the show Gibbs talks with Team Lancaster Thunder about how fast things can change in sports and life! Last night the world watched the Miami Dolphins Quarterback suffer an injury that puts his career under the microscope, baseball season is in its final stretch and every day is a new day in the race for a pennant! Deals are signed and people are excited, and then within a few months those very same situations are viewed as busts and disasters! Life changes fast. Where do we find rest and peace inside this life of vapor! Matthew 6 can fill us with hope and guidance when we seek the Face of God and listen to the teaching of Jesus! Go make plays! We are "Not Just Fans"!

ONE PERSON ONE MOMENT

Today on the show Gibbs talks with Team Lancaster Thunder about how cultures are set and how progress is made, one person and one moment at a time. John Dunlop the innovator of the sneaker, King Alfred King of England, and Julio Jones of Alabama all teach us valuable lessons about how culture is established and about how one person can make a real difference in a situation. We can be tempted to despair but take heart the contributions you are making for God's glory and to build society matter and you never know what your efforts might be scheduled to produce in the hands and will of a sovereign God. Congratulations to those that survived in the Pro Fan League eliminator! Go make plays! We are "Not Just Fans"!

Today on the show Gibbs considers the question "What is the good life?" Jesus says He is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6)! Jesus says He gives life in abundance (John 10:10). When we turn on college football, the NFL, any sporting event for that matter we are given all manner of definitions of what the "Good Life" entails. Jesus comes into the world and says that He is "The Life"! We consider how God recalibrates human hearts and minds to see in new ways as we consider what truly defines "The Good Life!" Go Make Plays! We are "Not Just Fans!"

Today on the show Gibbs talks with Team Lancaster Thunder about unexpected truths. Sports is really good at throwing unexpected truths into our lives. Games don't go the way we think, players get injured, and weird circumstances emerge on and off the playing field. Jesus coming to earth to save sinners; fully God and fully man, is an unexpected and mind-boggling truth! Jesus calls himself "The Truth". How do you deal with that reality? Gibbs talks about people believing in Jesus at Ohio State University and he gives his NFL conference Championship and Super Bowl Picks. College football goes full send this weekend! Enjoy the holiday. Go make plays! We are "Not Just Fans"!

Today Gibbs talks with Team Lancaster Thunder about how every human is journeying somewhere trying to build a strategy! Every team is trying to find that narrow path to victory and championships! It is easy to feel confused and lost in life. Overwhelmed by options. Distraction can set in and before you know it everything looks strange! Perhaps this is what happened to Florida State on their trip to Ireland last weekend, where an upset awaited them.
