Nic Allen (Family &amp; Children's Pastor) and Chase Baker (Student Pastor) talk about having a healthy perspective on sports in your life and your family. Darin Clark is sports fan. But his true passion is being an all pro husband and father. In 2006, Darin’s love of family and football came together, and the Father &amp; Son Bowl was born. It began with 16 players and has grown to 1,287 players in 2015. They even started their first father and son flag football league in Fall 2014. The goal of the annual Bowl is to bring fathers and sons closer together and encourage fathers to be the loving and strong leaders that they are created to be. The importance of a father’s positive involvement in their sons lives is critical, to raise up the next generation of men on a loving and solid foundation. That loving leadership and involvement is crucial to the future of our families, communities and nation. Darin has coached youth sports for over 18 seasons.
