Hey guys, coming up today on Sports Spectrum, an in-depth conversation with my friend Paul Putz,

who is the assistant director of the Faith and Sports Institute over at Baylor University in their

truette seminary. He's one of the preeminent sports and faith historians out there. And that's

exactly what we talk about here today on sports spectrum. We take a deep dive,

a deep dive into the history of sports and Jesus. And we take you all the way back to the late

1800s. Heck, we go all the way back to biblical times. We take it into the 1950s, 60s, 70s,

people like John Wooden and Jackie Robinson.

And then of course to now with people like Tony Dungey and Tim Tebow and others who are living their faith out in the sports arena.

And so this takes you deep into what that has been like over these past many years. I could

have talked for hours with Paul Putt. And we actually did talk for quite a bit of time, a little

longer than our normal podcast here. But I think you're going to come away listening. And maybe

you need to listen in a couple different spurts, right? Like maybe you're

going for a walk. You listen to the first half hour and then you listen to the second half hour

if you're driving in the car or wherever you might be on the treadmill at home. But this is a

podcast, I think that you're going to learn a lot. You're going to learn a lot about the past,

the present, and the future on the intersection of sports and faith. You're going to learn a lot about the past, the present, and the future on the

intersection of sports and faith. You're going to even learn about the origins of sports spectrum,

which was really fun to talk to Paul Putts about. That's coming up in just a second. First, we want to
