このコンテンツについて

 "Spirit of Sport" is the podcast where the athletic community reflects on spirituality, faith and leadership. Created by athletes for athletes, each season invites listeners into honest conversations that connect the world of sports with the deeper questions of meaning, purpose and belonging. Season Two is here! Its focus: “Game Changers.” These are people in the athletic community who have been at the work of weaving mercy and justice for years and offer wisdom on how to lead and how to love through difficult times. Season One drew inspiration from early Christian monastics who sought wisdom by asking, “Give me a word.” Each episode centers on a single word—like Body, Practice, or Endure—inviting listeners to slow down, contemplate and discover how ancient wisdom can shape our lives as athletes and people of faith. Whether you’re a competitor, coach or fan, "Spirit of Sport" offers a space for reflection, inspiration and real talk about what matters most in sports and in life. Hosts: Rev. Kelsey Davis, Christian Athlete Circles Co-Founder and Co-Director, and Georgia McKee, Christian Athlete Circles Co-Founder and Co-Director.Christian Athlete Circles スピリチュアリティ

    Welcome to season 2 of the "Spirit of Sport" podcast from Christian Athlete Circles. CAC is a community for athletes seeking a deeper spiritual life. In the podcast, the athletic community offers reflections on spirituality, faith and leadership. In this episode, we sit down with author, filmmaker and former pro soccer player Gwendolyn Oxenham to explore how storytelling and sport can challenge injustice, build empathy, and inspire action. Gwendolyn shares how her instinct to "say something when it isn't right" shaped her childhood, career in journalism, and passion for capturing the beautiful complexity of people's stories around the world. She recounts moments as a global street soccer player, a classroom teacher and a documentarian, reflecting on the dangers of simplistic thinking--and why nuance, curiosity and authentic connection are at the heart of both good journalism and lasting change. Gwendolyn offers real talk on resisting stereotypes, teaching her students to embrace brave, awkward moments, and the life-changing power of a question. You'll hear her insights on community, why kindness is never wasted, and how to build courage one small action at a time.

    Game Changers: Grit and Grace with Sarah Smith
    2025/07/31
    Welcome to season 2 of the "Spirit of Sport" podcast from Christian Athlete Circles. CAC is a community for athletes seeking a deeper spiritual life. In the podcast, the athletic community offers reflections on spirituality, faith and leadership. In this episode, we sit down with Rev. Sarah Smith. Sarah shares what it's like to be a queer woman and clergy member in Oklahoma, the power of collective action, and why sometimes the most radical thing you can do is just show up in your own community. From protesting unjust laws and confronting the misuse of scripture, to empowering others when leadership calls, Sarah's story shows how real change starts with everyday choices--like loving your family, building up your local neighborhood, and finding the discipline to care for your body and mind amidst the chaos. She opens up about setting boundaries, finding clarity in your values, and drawing strength from mentors, athletes, nuns and hunting buddies alike.
