Youth sports can bring out the best—and the worst—in all of us. In this episode, Adam, Chelsea, and Cassie sit down with Brian Smith and Ed Uszynski to talk honestly about winning, idolatry, sideline behavior, and how sports can become one of the most powerful discipleship tools in your family if you let it. This conversation will challenge the way you think about practices, games, car rides home, and what really matters in the long run.

Adam and Chelsea talk candidly about “work-life balance” and how easy it is to give our best at work while giving our families what’s left over. They discuss why family discipleship can feel less urgent but is infinitely more important, and how to reorder our loves so that our best energy goes to the people God has entrusted to us.

Family conflict is normal, but harshness only “wins” in the moment and wounds in the long run. Adam, Chelsea, and Cassie show how Christlike gentleness—firm, kind, and restorative—can cool tempers, set wise boundaries, and actually heal relationships. From triage metaphors to Jesus restoring Peter, this is a simple path to fighting less and loving more.
