Welcome to the Paul Tripp podcast, where pastor and best-selling author Dr. Paul David Tripp

connects the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life. In this episode, we'll listen to two

interviews Paul had with professional football player Carson Wentz and longtime football broadcaster, Scott Hansen.

These interviews are part of the discipleship Playbook, a nine-session video Bible study

for men, available at Discipleshipplaybook.com.

First, here's Paul Tripp with professional quarterback Carson Wentz. You're a professional athlete, you're a star quarterback.

You have the life that literally millions of people would crave.

Tell me, how does relationship with Jesus fit in with that?

Why would you need anything else? Yeah, that's the,

that's the only thing that matters, really. Like you said, this is to some people, this is all that

matters. And I think lots of people in my shoes that don't have a relationship with Christ,

they're always just feeling empty. They're always chasing something. And some people think

it's fame. Some people think it's fame.

Some people think it's money, women, drugs, alcohol, whatever it may be.

But they always come up empty.

They always fall short.

There's always just that void in their hearts that can only be filled with Jesus.

So, you know, I'm just a recipient of His grace and the blessings that have come with it, but at the end of the day, without Jesus first, there would be, there would be none of this, none

of it would really matter.

So what is it, what does that relationship with Christ do for you just, and just that

day by day, sort of, you live in the world that everybody else lives in you face the

things that everybody else face what is having hope in jesus mean yeah on a given tuesday
