Tim, one of our radio preachers on The CC Broadcast, and Kris Boettger are parents to two successful athletes: Ike, former offensive lineman for the Iowa Hawkeyes and current NFL player, and Adrienne, who was a Division III All-America basketball player for Wartburg College in Waverly, IA. Despite their family's exposure to athletics at an elite level and Ike/Adrienne's impressive achievements, their first love is the Lord and living life according to his design. For all these reasons and more, they're the perfect people to have a conversation with about how to parent kids in a Christ-centered manner through the youth sports minefield. And the truths discussed here don't end with youth sports...this stuff can be applied to many other activities that kids are involved with today, where Christian parents need to do better, as a whole, at distinguishing themselves from the culture and the world around us.
