    Will You Follow Hockey After Experiencing USA Gold? Plus, Spiritual Highs & Following Jesus

    On this week's UNPACKIN' it podcast, Bryce Johnson and Trip Smith unpack if sports fans will follow hockey after Team USA won gold…and how this translates to following Jesus. The guys discuss whether the sports fans who rooted so hard for Team USA in this gold medal game will begin following hockey, specifically the NHL, moving forward. They also share their thoughts on the times we experience a “spiritual high” after an inspiring sermon, a powerful retreat, or an encouraging lunch with a friend...and ask if we will actually serve and follow Jesus after getting fired up in these memorable moments.
