Chad Pennington

Mar 11, 2019

Scott and former NFL quarterback Chad Pennington discuss the many things Chad’s learned through playing football and his passion to build into boys and young men.

• What might it look like for you to use your passions and gifts to give back to others? Who could benefit the most from you stepping up and stepping in to share what God has entrusted to you?
• “The greatest gift you can give your children is yourself.” What does this statement say to you about your relationship with your parents? What does it say about what you have to offer your own kids or younger people you may influence?
• Chad’s dad stepped down to coach freshmen so he could see his son play. Ask yourself this really hard question: Is there anything you do, personally or professionally, that is stealing from the most important people in your life? What do you think you need to do in response to this realization? If you’re not sure, pray in the coming days and ask God what He is trying to reveal to you.
• Chad mentioned the team-approach he and his wife take to their roles in marriage and family. Are you someone who would tend to divide responsibilities or share roles in the home? What is good about each approach? What do you sense God would desire for you when it comes to this idea?
• Chad and Scott talked about how busy Chad is now, but how he’s keeping priorities in order. He wants to stay productive and do things that are meaningful. We can do this, even if we aren’t retired in our 30’s from a professional football career. How can you be productive and do things that are meaningful from whatever position you find yourself?
• Read Deuteronomy 6:4-9. What does this scripture look like when it’s lived out in the context of the questions you’ve thought through today?
