• 9000 different bets
• $90,000 wagered
• Betting on games he suited up for
• Willfully ignoring classes and meetings from 3 different institutions about the one cardinal sin in sports

But hey, find a local judge and convince him the kid will be really sad if he doesn’t get to play and none of that matters does it?

What a joke.

A PARENT’S JOURNEY THROUGH YOUTH SPORTS:

Age 5: “He’s got a cannon.”
Age 6: “He’s the fastest kid out there. Coach said so.”
Age 7: “Rec ball isn’t challenging him anymore.”
Age 8: “We tried out for select. Obviously made it.”
Age 9: “$2,800 for the season. Plus uniforms. Plus tournaments. Plus hotels.”
Age 10: “Cooperstown is basically a family vacation, right?”
Age 11: “He needs a hitting guy. And a pitching guy. And probably a mental performance coach.”
Age 12: “I’m not a crazy sports parent. The OTHER parents are crazy.”
Age 13: “We changed schools. For academics. (And also baseball.)”
Age 14: “Showcases are a requirement at this age.”
Age 15: “Ya his ranking just ticked up. We’re cooking.”
Age 16: “He just needs to get seen by the right school.”
Age 17: “The D1 schools want him to walk on. He’ll earn a spot by sophomore year.”
Age 18: “Okay, D2 is actually really competitive.”
Age 19: “He’s redshirting. Strategic.”
Age 20: “He’s focusing on school now.”
Age 21: “You know what? He’s so much happier.”

Roughly 7% of high schoolers play in college.

About 1.5% of those get drafted.

Less than half of draftees ever play one day in the big leagues.

The odds of our kids going pro are somewhere between “struck by lightning” and “find a $100 in old shorts.”

I love youth sports (all my kids play a bunch of them) just keep a good perspective my friends. ✌️

Being a pastor is hard to explain unless you’ve stood in the pulpit yourself.

One week you’re walking with a family through their darkest valley.

The next, they’re gone without a word.

You’ll be praised and misunderstood, often by the same people in the same month.

Some days you see God move and go home full. Other days you lie awake rehearsing every word, wondering what you missed.

Everyone has an opinion of how you should pastor. You quickly learn you cannot preach with one eye on the crowd.

But then..a soul saved, a marriage mended, a grieving heart given comfort.

And suddenly you remember why you answered the call.

Ministry is heavy. But it’s a high calling.

And it’s worth it all.

Social media is proof that many Christians don't have a problem with boldness.

Often, we're just bold about lesser important things.

Be bold with the Gospel. That is what will change hearts, lives, and communities.
