Summary

Transform the competitive sports field into a discipleship opportunity as you help your young athlete become not just a better player but a devoted follower of God.
 
If we don’t own the process of discipling our kids as they play sports, sports culture will do it for us. But as parents, we can get so consumed with our young athletes’ physical development that we miss the opportunities athletics provide to help them grow spiritually. Away Game challenges us to be more than spectators on the sidelines of our kids’ spiritual lives. Discover how to:
 
  • Leverage sports as a platform for instilling biblical values in kids and teens.
  • Keep joy, play, and gratitude at every level of your child’s athletic experience.
  • Use sports involvement as an opportunity to strengthen your relationship with your child—from car-ride conversations to post-game processing.
  • Spark faith-based discussions about sport-culture challenges such as handling pressure, dealing with failure, and being a next-level teammate.
  • Counter the toxic elements of today’s youth sports culture by cultivating kingdom virtues like self-control, humility, and peace—in yourself and your kids.
 
Away Game empowers you to embrace the role of spiritual mentor throughout your child’s athletic journey as you recognize—in the margins of every practice or game—winning opportunities for spiritual growth.
