This session will explore youth sports and spiritual development from 360 degrees. An honest assessment of the woes of youth sports will be shared, however a redemptive vision of what youth sports can be will be presented, as well. Many questions and concerns will be on the table including but not limited to the following:
1)Overcoming the competitive lens through which ministries sometimes view sports and considering healthy ways for churches to "stay in the game" with sports-involved children.
2) Evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of church sponsored youth sports programs.
3) Considering the role sports can play in healthy human development.
4) Addressing parental mindsets toward sports and seeking a theology of sports which the local church can present to parents.
