Remembrance: A Reflection on 9/11

From the Touchline ·

2024/09/11

Most Americans will remember where they were on September 11, 2001. It was a terrible day of tragedy and shock. 23 years later, the world looks very differently than it did before then. And 9/11 was one of those moments which stopped the global game of soccer the world ’round. Today, on the podcast, I […]

Running Free: A Reflection from Psalm 119

From the Touchline ·

2024/09/04

There’s often a choice facing a coach prior to match day — do we play our game, or do we adapt and change because of the opponent we’re facing or the situation and circumstances? Most would say a team ought to play to their strengths and just be themselves. But how do we cope when that […]

Soccer Chaplain Myth 3: Chaplains Praying for Wins?

From the Touchline ·

2024/08/21

Sometimes people ask me, “Rev, do you pray for wins?” What usually follows is, at least for me, an interesting conversation if we have the time to get into it. But a common myth or belief that chaplains (or, simply, Christian people who enjoy sports) can fall prey to, is believing that somehow one’s prayers […]

Soccer Chaplain Myth 2: “Chaplains for all…”

From the Touchline ·

2024/08/14

Much of my work outside of being the lead volunteer chaplain to the Colorado Rapids is working to develop chaplaincy with other teams in North America. This involves educating teams on what chaplaincy is and what chaplaincy isn’t. As I have different conversations and interactions with coaches, executives, and owners around the various leagues, one […]

Soccer Chaplain Myth 1: “You Must Have Played…”

From the Touchline ·

2024/08/07

Sometimes when I introduce myself and share about the work that I do as volunteer chaplain to a professional soccer team, people don’t even stop to ask. Instead, they just say, “Oh, you must have played soccer at a high level…” Well, truth be told, I was never going to rise to such a level […]

Halftime: Yellowstone is Wild

From the Touchline ·

2024/07/24

I shared. last week, a reflection from a recent family vacation to Yellowstone National Park. This week, another reflection from my time there and this time it has to do with the wildness that we encountered there. It might seem a far stretch to speak about wildness and connect it somehow into faith and football, […]

Halftime: Yellowstone is like Heaven

From the Touchline ·

2024/07/17

A return from family vacation last week to Yellowstone National Park has been reflecting on a couple of things. Perhaps, the greatest takeaway is that I imagine that Yellowstone is something like Heaven — indescribable, unimaginable, and more. Even like certain elements of the Beautiful Game — there is just a limit to how much one can […]

Halftime: Platforms and Politics

From the Touchline ·

2024/07/10

One of the headlines that is seemingly more and more fused with football is the issue of politics. A few weeks ago, high profile players came out and urged young people in their nation to get out and vote. Around the world, there has been a rise of the “activist super-player” who seemingly has more […]The post Halftime: Platforms and Politics first appeared on Soccer Chaplains United.

Lessons from Lasso — It’s The Hope That Kills You

From the Touchline ·

2024/04/17

In football, soccer, many fans whose favorite teams are in the throes of relegation and promotion or playoffs, have their hopes dashed and come crashing to the ground. When the team doesn’t have a good season, there are consequences for going down into an inferior tier of soccer. When a team doesn’t produce any winners […]The post Lessons from Lasso — It’s The Hope That Kills You first appeared on Soccer Chaplains United.

Triumphal Processions

From the Touchline ·

2024/03/20

Who doesn’t love a good victory parade? The music, the ticker tape, all of it — no matter the sport, fans and followers seem to enjoy celebrating alongside their sports heroes a good victory. In soccer, the same is true. But for Christians, as we approach this upcoming Sunday (Palm Sunday), it’s a victory celebration that […]The post Triumphal Processions first appeared on Soccer Chaplains United.
