In this episode, we use a simple basketball illustration to remind us of a powerful biblical truth: following Jesus is not a solo highlight reel. Just as a veteran player passes the ball to build up the next generation, Paul instructed Timothy to pass on the faith to others (2 Timothy 2:2). Discipleship means investing in people, encouraging them, and equipping them to lead—even if it costs us the spotlight.

Who are you passing the ball to in your faith journey? Discover why mentorship and discipleship are at the heart of the Church and how you can make an eternal impact by cheering on others.
