Travel sports can pull families away from their community of faith

Travel sports has grown into a $39 billion industry, with projections expecting that total to reach $72 billion by 2029 .

The Grand Park Sports Campus in Westfield , Indiana , is home to the Indianapolis Colts training center and the Pacers Athletic Center .

The town of Westfield that once had one traffic light? It has exploded with growth.

Witto worries that families who swap worship for sports are adding something to their calendar that is draining rather than uplifting.

He sees this as a challenge for congregations to step up to the plate and equip their families as they take their faith on the road.

Witto suggests finding a church in the area to attend, having a chapel service with a couple of other families in the park between games, or reading a devotion as a group.
