This symposium convenes a panel including faculty, coaches, and athletes to answer questions such as:

• How does our devotion to God inform our devotion to teammates and coaches? How about officials and opponents?

• Does our devotion to sport inhibit or fuel our productivity for the Kingdom?

• How does our devotion to God enhance or diminish our productivity in sport?

• Can our devotion to sport increase our devotion to God? If not, why not? If so, how?

• What is it about the sport experience that you would consider productive from a Kingdom perspective?
