    Should Christians Vote? 5 Biblical Reasons to Participate

    David Pollack and Pastor J explore the relationship between faith, politics, and voting. How can Christians participate in the political process while keeping their hope and identity firmly rooted in Jesus? Hear about why Christians should stay engaged, stand for biblical values, and seek the good of their communities. They explore five biblical reasons to vote, including being salt and light, standing for what is right, caring for our communities, understanding the role of government, and considering the world we’re leaving for the next generation. The conversation also explains how Christians can evaluate candidates through character, leadership, experience, and alignment with biblical convictions—without placing their ultimate trust in a political party or politician. They close with practical encouragement to stay involved, remain faithful to biblical values, trust God regardless of election outcomes, and protect our Christian witness through the way we engage with others.

    Forgive Yourself- Faith, Pressure & Parenting in Sports

    How do you forgive yourself, overcome pressure, and help your kids learn from mistakes? On the Family Goals Podcast, David Pollack and Pastor J discuss sports, parenting, Christian faith, and how to compete without letting performance define your identity. Inspired by Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer’s reminder to “forgive yourself,” David and Pastor J explore the mental side of sports, handling criticism, and learning from failure without getting stuck in it. They discuss how parents can encourage young athletes, help their kids enjoy the game, and avoid adding unnecessary pressure. The conversation also turns to faith and competition. Does God care who wins a football game? How can athletes use their gifts to glorify Him? And what does it mean to compete for an “audience of one”? IN THIS EPISODE ● Learning to forgive yourself and move forward after mistakes ● Helping young athletes handle pressure without letting performance define them ● Parenting with encouragement instead of adding pressure ● Competing for an “audience of one” and using your gifts to glorify God ● What 1 Corinthians 9 teaches about discipline, purpose, and running to win ABOUT FAMILY GOALS You're listening to David Pollack (College Football Hall-of-Famer and college football analyst) and Jonathan Howes (Lead Pastor of Graystone Church), having a weekly conversation about God, Family, and Sports.
