BEYOND THE SCOREBOARD with PJ RIDDELL
WDAC Radio Company's Beyond the Scoreboard airs every Saturday at 10 a.m. on 1075Alive in Boyertown and WDAC 94.5 in Lancaster!
PJ Riddell offers a positively different perspective on sports, from Philly’s pro teams —Phillies, Flyers, Sixers, Eagles, Union and more — to local high school and college sports, as well as the national sports scene. We go beyond stats to explore the character, teamwork, and faith that drive the game. It’s sports for every generation, where life lessons and victory in Jesus go hand in hand. Beyond the Scoreboard — "a positively different look at sports!”
BEYOND THE SCOREBOARD with PJ RIDDELL
Beyond The Scoreboard (24:26) ~ The Power of His Word
In this week’s sports news we talk about where the Sixers and Flyers stand heading into 2025, and celebrate the NFC East Champion Eagles as they look ahead to the playoffs! Additionally, we recap the quarterfinal action of the college football playoffs, including Penn State’s big win over Boise State.
In our takeaway portion, we’re inspired by Boise State head coach Spencer Danielson and how he helped lead players like Ahmed Hassanein to the Lord through his coaching and leadership. This example leads us into a conversation on evangelism, and we’re reminded not to fall into the trap of trying to change people’s hearts on our own - Christ alone has the power to save - we just need to do our part by sharing the Good News with others and come alongside others with love, humility, and a reverence for God.
