Breakout (Faith & Fantasy Devotional)-Loving Fantasy Football Again & Returning to God

Breakout: Returning to Your First Love | Fantasy Football & Faith

Ever drafted a fantasy team you were pumped about... and by Week 6, you completely checked out? No more waiver wire moves, no more trash talk in the group chat — you just lost the love for it. Or have you ever quit a league? Or do you know guys who stopped playing Fantasy Football?

A similar thing can happen with our faith.

In this week's Breakout segment on The UNPACKIN' It Podcast, Bryce Johnson and Trip Smith take a Fantasy Football topic and connect it to something way bigger: what happens when we walk away from our passion for God, and how we find our way back.

We break down:

🏈 Why people lose their love for fantasy football (and what that reveals about us)

🏈 The parallel between "checking out" of your league or leaving a Fantasy league and drifting from God

🏈 What repentance actually looks like — it's not shame, it's a return

🏈 How to rediscover the joy and passion you had when you first followed Jesus

Walking away doesn't have to be the end of the story. Whether it's your fantasy league or your relationship with God, coming back is always an option — and repentance isn't about guilt, it's about getting your joy back.
