  • Summary

  • So what's the score? Who is winning? Are you losing? How often do you keep a mental scorecard to track and evaluate how you stack up against others? Men are great at that. I remember when I was a little kid comparing my bike to my friend's bike and how I was super proud mine was better. It was my scoreboard and I was winning. Later on in life, the items on my scoreboard changed but the need to keep track and winning was the same. We keep score, don't we? The scoreboard now keeps track of my success in my career, the size of my house or type of car, and the vacations I post on Facebook. We try to run the scoreboard up to look good. But why is it that men keep score? We are taught from an early age that winning matters. As Ricky Bobby said, "If you're not first, you're last". But what has all this striving to keep score and measure up gotten men? It has only created an unrest, weary, feeling behind, worthless identity. This is not what God intended. God doesn't keep score. So why are you? Join us on this episode as we invite Dr. Gene James to discuss the idea of why men keep score even though winning only comes through a relationship with Jesus. I just made a decision a long time ago: I'm not going to be defined by a scoreboard. - Dabo Swinney
