I'm a huge sports fan and deeply passionate about playing and watching. I feel anyone can listen to this podcast and really gain from it. It's informative, a perfect length and I apperciate the variety of sports from all professional levels that is covered. Really hoping for a MLB related episode.

Description

Many of us experience sports much like religion: they give us a shared identity, a sense of community, and a common purpose. So what wisdom can we draw from the sports world to help us navigate the chaos and confusion -- and also the awakening and transformation -- happening today? Join host Varun Soni, Dean of Religious and Spiritual Life at the University of Southern California, in this limited-run series from Religion of Sports.
