Words of Steele

40. Life in the Fast Lane

Thomas Steele

As winter settles into West Virginia with early snow and single-digit temperatures, Tom reflects on the meaning of the “last days” through the lens of Scripture, sports, and modern culture. Beginning with a passage from 2 Timothy 3, this episode explores human tendencies toward self-interest, ambition, and the relentless pursuit of more—money, prestige, and pleasure.

Using the high-profile coaching career of Lane Kiffin as a contemporary case study, Tom examines themes of loyalty, redemption, and restlessness, drawing parallels between college football’s business culture and the biblical warnings Paul shared with Timothy. The discussion ultimately contrasts worldly success with spiritual fruit, urging listeners to consider where true fulfillment is found.
