This weekend we’re taking a deep-dive into the history of faith & sports with Dr. Paul Putz, who is the Program Director for the Master of Arts in Theology and Sports Studies and is the Director for the Faith & Sports Institute. He's also an author, and his book, The Spirit of the Game: American Christianity and Big Time Sports, is the detailed compilation of his research into the history of the Christian athlete movement. Our conversation and his research give us a greater appreciation for the intersection of faith & sports as we know it today in 2026 - it didn't just happen overnight.
