You're listening to the Family Discipleship Podcast, a podcast of Training the Church.

0:12.4

This is Adam Griffin, and I'm here with my co-hosts, Mrs. Cassie Bryant and my wife, Mrs. Chelsea Griffin.

0:19.7

Cassie, tell us a story about maybe a best friend

0:23.4

or a team you've been on. I don't know much about your sports history. I know your fashion history.

0:28.8

Do you guys, do you have any like things you like to do with your besties or any team that you've

0:34.2

been on? Oh, I love a good road trip with my girlfriend. I feel like, you know,

0:39.3

a good long time in the car. You get to know each other. You tell the stories. You listen to your

0:43.3

music. My favorite, I think my favorite, like, team sister duo would be the William's sisters,

0:49.5

the tennis players. I just think their story is amazing. I think because I have daughters who are sisters. I want

0:55.6

them to have strong relationships. Now, obviously, I'm assuming that Venus and Serena are like also

1:01.1

besties, but I just, I want my girls to be a good team, you know? If you could go on a road

1:07.1

trip with the Williams sisters, where would you go? Oh my goodness.

1:18.8

Wimbledon? Yeah, I guess we need to learn more about tennis. I will say a really fun team story is so my daughter plays basketball and one of her best friends is one of the best players

1:23.7

on the team. She's like a point guard. She's so good with the ball. And that last

1:28.6

season, so a year ago, we were just trying to get Maven to shoot the ball. Like, just shoot the ball, but she was so afraid of missing. You're like, but you'll miss every shot you don't take. You have to shoot the ball. Wayne Gretzky. And so the second, yep, what, and don't think. And I think that's actually like a quote. You miss

1:43.7

100% of the shots you don't take. Oh, thank you,

1:46.2

Wayne Gretzky. Okay. So, the but still think. And I think that's actually like a quote. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

1:45.6

Oh, thank you, Wayne Gretzky. Okay. So the second to last game, Mavin gets the ball. She turns,

1:51.3

she shoots it without even thinking she shoots it. She scores. And this friend of hers went and tackled

1:57.3

her in celebration. It was so happy for her. And just to see, you know, a good team celebrates that each other's wins. It's not this competition. Like, you know, like, Maven is so, like, she's so quick to acknowledge her friend's strengths. And then she was really able to receive the celebration of her friend. So that was just really fun to see play out, like, you know, a fifth graders basketball journey. I love that. A good team, teammate celebrates their teammates win.

2:23.7

Yeah, what they do. Chelsea, you've been a team athlete. We're mom of teammates. You also have some

2:30.7

great friends. Anything that sticks out if we think about, man, that's a great story or picture of a good friend.
