Hour 1: Average Joe: The Coach Joe Kennedy Story - with Coach Joe Kennedy
When Coach Joe Kennedy started offering a prayer on the field after each high school football game, the school district tried to shut him down, launching a seven-year legal battle that went to the Supreme Court—twice. In June 2022, he won. The new book, Average Joe is the story of an unlikely champion of religious freedom. On Monday's Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, Coach Joe Kennedy joins us to talk about why freedom of speech and religious liberty is worth fighting for.
Hour 2: Envy: A Big Problem You Didn't Know You Had - with Mike Fabarez
On Monday's Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, Pastor and teacher, Mike Fabarez diagnoses the problem of the pervasive sin of envy. He brings the reader to biblical stories with often-overlooked ties to envy that expose and demonstrate the seriousness and harm caused by our unexamined motives. When envy is allowed to reside unchecked in our hearts, there are internal, relational, and societal costs. This book explores biblical ways to shore up our hearts and minds and close the gaps that leave us vulnerable to envy's temptations.
IN THIS EPISODE
Joe Kennedy
Coach Joe Kennedy an eighteen-year Marine veteran, was an assistant coach for the Bremerton High School (BHS) varsity football team. Before he even coached his first game, the Marine-turned-football coach made a commitment to God that he would give thanks at the conclusion of each game for what the players had accomplished and for the opportunity to be part of their lives through football. This was met with disapproval from his school district and turned
into a lengthy court battle. On June 27, 2022, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Coach Kennedy and his First Amendment right. Joe and his wife, Denise, are parents to four and reside currently in Pensacola.
