Texas A&M Football, Skipping Church, and Christians on Social Media | Ep 4

Published: Oct. 13, 2021, 5 p.m.

Texas A&M beat Alabama in football... is anyone still doubting that God is an Aggie? Is God an Aggie? Also, how did the student section (including us) go from wanted Zach Calzada to be benched to calling his name for the Heisman?

Why is it that half of the college ministry was missing the day after the game? Is winning a football game a good enough reason to miss church the next day? What if that football team was #1? This speaks to a much larger issue that currently plagues College Station as a whole, the idolatry of Texas A&M, Texas A&M football more specifically. The entire town is built around Texas A&M’s schedule and church attendance for all age groups varies based on who wins the night before. Why is it that we can cheer and yell and rejoice on a Saturday night when we score a touchdown, but when someone is baptized, we simply clap for a few seconds and don’t think about it again? Heaven rejoices at every decision to follow Christ and it never gets old, but we have allowed ourselves to be more excited about Aggie football than a soul being redeemed out of sin and saved from the wrath of God through the redemption that is in Jesus, our savior.

Lastly, social media is not only common in today’s culture, but also expected. How should Christians navigate these platforms, what should our focus be, what should we be engaging with and posting, and how do we bring glory to God through our social media? Also, Cole is on TikTok and Trey is disappointed in him.
