Salt and Light In Sports with Former Harlem Globetrotter Melvin Adams

Salt and Light In Sports with Former Harlem Globetrotter Melvin Adams

Matthew 5 discusses how we as Christians must be salt and light in a world full of brokenness and darkness. How do we do that in sports, though? As an athlete, it can be difficult to want to stand out when the entire world is going with the current. But God tells us to go against the current and take the road less travelled. 

 

Melvin Adams, former Harlem Globetrotter now motivational speaker, comes on to discuss this important topic when it comes to sports. His inspiring, motivating, and caring words have touched millions of people throughout the world and his use of comedy and honesty make him so much more personal. 

 

Throughout his basketball career, he consistently lived out what Christ called us to do in this world. While talking with Melvin, it was clear that he replicates Christ in everything that he does, no matter if he's playing pickup basketball, telling jokes with friends, or speaking to thousands of children. Melvin and Ken discuss important questions and issues that arose for Melvin throughout his life/career, and how he has relied on God through it all to guide him. Through personal stories, jokes, and life lessons, this episode is one that will make you laugh while still learning more about how to be a better Christian athlete.
