Talking Golf With The Golf Guy-Season 5 Episode 15 With Pastor David Fischer

Does the Bible mention Sports?

If Jesus were alive today, would he participate in outdoor recreation, including golf?

Is there a place for athletics, particularly the game of golf, in God’s Plan of Salivation for mankind?

Existential questions that have been asked for decades and which all can pose serious challenges and obstacles for anyone who participates in sporting activities, epically on the Sabbath Day when a large majority of people and families attend church.

Pastor David Fischer

The Golf Guy, PGA Master Professional Jeff Waters, sits down with David Fischer, an ordained Lutheran Minister with a Masters Degree in Divinity, former Pastor of the Redeemer Lutheran Church in Salt Lake City, a long-time Golf Coach at Lutheran High School, an accomplished player on the local Utah golf circuit, and discusses those, and other deep soulful and profound questions about the meaning of life and the role sports plays in it.

Join the Golf Guy and Pastor Fischer as they discuss his enlightened, fascinating, and circular journey from his growing up years in the placid mid-lands of Missouri and Illinois, to the teeming big city ministries of the East Coast, and then, to the distinct and predominate culture of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in the Rocky Mountains of Salt Lake City, Utah.
