Connecting with Christ Through Sports with Robert Bass - Author, Pastor, Speaker, and Former Athlete

One of the age old questions in Christianity is how do you connect with Christ and maintain that relationship. Today, we discuss how we can do this in sports and how we as athletes can learn to prioritize that connection over everything that comes with being an athlete. 

Author, pastor, speaker, and former athlete Robert Bass joins the show today to talk about this interesting topic, and what he has learned from his time as an athlete. Robert has had a unique journey in becoming a pastor, and he explains his journey a little bit in our conversation today. We also get to talk about his new book, Hidden Fruit: Receive All That God Has For You. This book is not just for athletes, but is a great resource for everyone that wants to connect with Christ in this life.

Topics for this discussion:

• How to handle frustration and failure in sports
• What Robert would do differently as an athlete
• Feeling God while watching, playing, and practicing sports
• Are athletes made specifically to play sports
• Prioritizing peace and rest in Jesus
•  “You don’t need to sacrifice when Jesus has already done that for you”
