Synopsis

Where does "serving" fit in the world of competitive sports? Team sports and even individual sports require others to help. This is serving as it has been worked out through repetitive drills that no one but God and an athlete sees, through tough decisions in the heat of the final minutes of the game, through the crucible of the highly competitive sports world where being a servant makes you a good teammate, a competitive player and a model of Christ.
