Becoming an Overcomer: Lessons from a Spiritual Athlete
There is something about sports that translates into our spiritual reality. Paul the Apostle in the New Testament refers to the “runners” in the race and those who compete in the “games” as an imagery for the Christian life. Sports can be a powerful tool for character building and spiritual training. However, the ultimate goal is to wield it in such a way not so that our child can become the next olympic athlete but that he or she may rise up to be an overcomer in God’s Kingdom.
