Sharing the Gospel in Sports with Former Indianapolis Colts Chaplain and Pastor Ken Johnson

Sharing the Gospel in Sports with Former Indianapolis Colts Chaplain and Pastor Ken Johnson

Our biggest job as Christians in sport is to share the good news of the Gospel. Everything else is secondary compared to that. 2 Corinthians 5: 20 says, "We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God." With this in mind, it's our duty to live out the Gospel, even (especially) as we participate in athletics.

Pastor Ken Johnson joins the show today to talk about ways we as Christians can practically share and spread the Gospel to teammates, opponents, and anyone that watches us play. Pastor Ken is a former Indianapolis Colts Chaplain, Police Officer, Reality TV Show Host, and Recording Artist. With so much life experience and trials throughout his life, he consistently shows the Gospel through his words and actions.

During the conversation, listen out for key topics, such as:

  • Pastor Ken's unique journey and life
  • His work with the Super Bowl winning Indianapolis Colts and his admiration for Tony Dungy
  • How he relates Christ to others and meets them where they are
  • The importance of athletes controlling their actions and words
  • Steps to take in order to spread the Gospel in sports
