In the second podcast of our "Summer Movie Series," Bryce Johnson and guest co-host Mike Atkins unpack Moneyball, discussing how the movie portrays a general manager’s willingness to approach baseball in a new way…and how this parallels approaching life differently from others.
Today's Questions:
In what ways do followers of Jesus win by "losing"?
What practical steps can we take to ensure that our minds are being renewed?
