<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nHere’s a snippet of the story from Sports Spectrum<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n He knows some of the Nuggets players well because he also serves as the team\u2019s chaplain, a role he\u2019s held for the past 16 years. It\u2019s a volunteer role because Speller doesn\u2019t want money to get in the way of what the Lord has called him to do.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n As chaplain, Speller gives a message during a 15-minute chapel service held one hour before every game. In the NBA, players and coaches from both teams are welcome, meaning some Heat and Nuggets players joined together in a quiet room down the hall from their opposing locker rooms at Ball Arena on Thursday night, and listened to Speller share what God had put on his heart.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n He told Sports Spectrum earlier this week that he thought his message to the players before Game 1 would be about doing God\u2019s will and how we always want more of God\u2019s presence in our lives, but we\u2019re not always willing to pay the price to get it.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA lot of times we want to do God\u2019s will, but then adversity comes so we start to do things our way,\u201d Speller said. \u201cObedience is better than sacrifice, [that] is what the Word says. If it\u2019s not God\u2019s way, then are we actually in His will?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Workplace ministry at its best! <\/p>\n\n\n\n As it is, we see that God has carefully placed each part of the body right where he wanted it. (1 Corinthians 12.18, MSG)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I also just learned of an arena that needs some “body parts” – and might not have them. More tomorrow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n P.S. I shared the story of Kyle Speller and the Nuggets yesterday at a gathering of older Navigator staff. There was a young guy in the crowd, Eric from the Development office, who has ties to FCA – the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. He knows Kyle and says he’s the real deal. Eric showed me texts that were flying around the local FCA community during game 1 of the finals, including texts from Kyle himself. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I normally schedule these blogs to post around 5:30p, Mountain Time.
