About this episode
Katie Koplin and Gretchen Ronnevik discuss the impact of kids sports on family life and the pressures faced by parents.
Does it feel like kids sports are taking over your family life? Katie Koplin and Gretchen Ronnevik talk about the realities of the commitments of kids sports and the impact that has on their families. All the meets, all the performances, all the races--and the pressure for parents to be at everything, and how it becomes a part time job. They talk about the pressures on parents, the impact on marriages, and the impact that can have on discipleship. They talk about values, moms perspectives vs dads perspectives, and the main question: where is Christian freedom in this, and how do we reach families stuck in this cycle?
