What does a World Series championship have to do with our spiritual lives? More than we might think. As we watched the Milwaukee Brewers celebrate their title, something stood out beyond the trophy and the confetti: the way those players carried themselves as a unit. They did not just play alongside each other, they sharpened each other. That image connects directly to one of the most enduring passages in all of Scripture. Proverbs 27:17 draws a vivid picture of iron blades being rubbed together, the friction removing dull edges and producing something sharper and more effective. The biblical writer uses this image to describe what happens when the right people are placed in each other's lives. Growth does not happen in isolation. It happens through challenge, accountability, and the kind of relationships that refuse to let us stay comfortable in mediocrity. The Brewers gave us a living illustration of that truth. When we look at our own circles, the question worth sitting with is whether the people around us are making us sharper, and whether we are doing the same for them.
