Healthy vs. Unhealthy Obsession in Sports with Podcast Host and Founder/CEO of The Unscripted Collective Aaron Conrad

Healthy vs. Unhealthy Obsession in Sports with Podcast Host and Founder/CEO of The Unscripted Collective Aaron Conrad

It's easy in a world full of idolatry, obsessiveness, and distractions to get caught up in wanting more and more, especially as an athlete or fan. While 1 Corinthians 10 states that we must flee from idolatry, we may not even realize that we idolize sports. What does it look like to have a "healthy obsession" in sports? How do we know when our relationship with sports is "unhealthy"?

On this episode, Aaron Conrad, podcast host and founder/CEO of The Unscripted Collective, joins the show to discuss this interesting topic, along with his work in sports, business, and podcasting. Throughout the conversation, Aaron shows the love of Christ through his words and actions, all while giving helpful advice for every fan and player on understanding passion in sports.
