Comparison is the thief of joy. You've probably heard that before, and it's the cornerstone point of this week's "Inside the Chapel" episode with University of Oklahoma Softball chaplain Sarah Roberts. Roberts talks about how if the enemy can't cut us down, he'll at least try to distract us and keep us busy. Causing us to compare ourselves to others is one way he tries to that, as all of it keeps us focused on worldly pursuits instead of focusing on who God has called us to be and what God has called us to do. It's okay to have passions and pursue certain things, but the order in which we do it matters. We must seek first the kingdom of God, not our worldly pursuits.

This week on "Inside the Chapel," San Antonio Spurs chaplain Sam Johnson shares a message from John 8:31-32 about discipleship and pursuing God. He particularly hits on the part of verse 32 that says, "then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." He uses the analogy that in the way that professional athletes need proper nutrition and to fill their bodies with good food, Christians need to pursue God and fill their hearts and minds with the proper spiritual food and truth from the Bible.

His message is about being on mission and discerning what we are called to do as followers as Jesus. He uses the idea of an "ambassador" and how we should be ambassadors for the gospel. What does it look like for a professional athlete to be radically different from his teammates and others? How do they use their platforms to be ambassadors for Christ? His message unpacks all of that. "Inside the Chapel" is part of the Sports Spectrum Podcast Network.
