As August begins, we're in that in-between season: the baseball season is coming down the home stretch now with the trade deadline, the World Cup is over, and football and fall sports are still a little ways away.

Attached below is The Pour Over’s perspective on sports:

“Human excellence brings glory to God.

Honing a craft, developing a talent, or learning how to run a long way very fast reflects something deeply human: harnessing the raw materials of a God-given capacity and bringing order and beauty to the world.

Of course, the pursuit of excellence can become an idol. But when it's seen as a reflection of God's own creative action in the world, it points past the person and toward the One who made it possible. "Whatever you do, do it from the heart, as something done for the Lord" (Colossians 3:23 CSB).”

In this week's sports news we discuss the Eagles and Steelers and prepare for Penn State football's appearance in the Big 10 Championship against Oregon. In this week's takeaway, we try to make sense of the numerous fights and brawls in last week's "rivalry week" in college football - especially the skirmish between Ohio State and Michigan. 

 Through examining what happened during those fights, and how a select few players chose to take a knee and pray instead, we see how pride played a role in the fights, and how God has called us to instead be humble and set apart from the world.
