In today’s episode of Thinking Christian, host Dr. James Spencer welcomes sports ministry veterans Ed Uszynski and Brian Smith to discuss their new book, Away Game: A Christian Parent's Guide to Navigating Youth Sports.

As youth sports evolve into a high-stakes, billion-dollar industry, Christian parents are faced with a unique challenge: how do we stay engaged in sports culture without compromising our spiritual priorities? From weekend tournaments to college recruitment pressure, Ed and Brian explore how youth sports are shaping not just our kids’ schedules — but their souls.

Thinking Christian is hosted by Dr. James Spencer, president of the D. L. Moody Center and author of Digital Discernment (InterVarsity Press). Each conversation reads the Bible as the final authority for life and faith, questioning the assumptions of our culture, even our Christian culture, so that we don't settle for a narrower vision than God's word offers.

Unsettling convention. Cultivating conviction.
