  • Why NOT me?
    Jan 18 2026

    In this powerful exploration of faith and resilience, we encounter the remarkable story of Parker Byrd, a young baseball player whose dreams were nearly shattered by a devastating accident. At just 14, he had already committed to play Division I baseball, but a tragic boating incident resulted in the amputation of his right leg. What makes Parker's story extraordinary isn't just his physical comeback—it's the spiritual transformation that occurred in his mindset. Instead of asking 'Why me?'—a question we all ask when facing trials—Parker chose to ask 'Why not me?' This shift, grounded in Romans 8:28, reminds us that God doesn't waste our pain. Every hardship, every setback, every moment that doesn't make sense can be transformed when we invite God to work through it. Parker's journey from amputation through 22 surgeries to becoming the first NCAA Division I baseball player with a prosthetic leg demonstrates that our circumstances don't define us—our faith does. When we choose to trust God's purpose even in our darkest moments, we open ourselves to possibilities we never imagined. The devotion also points us to Matthew 6:34, encouraging us not to worry about tomorrow but to focus on today's challenges with faith. Whether we're facing physical injury, academic struggles, or life's unexpected turns, the message is clear: communicate your struggles, trust God's timing, and remember that He can bring good from anything when we love Him and walk according to His purpose.

  • Too Stubborn to Quit
    Jan 11 2026

    In this powerful exploration of faithfulness and maximizing our God-given talents, we encounter Luke 16:10's timeless truth: 'Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much.' Through the inspiring story of David Eckstein—a player who stood only 5'6" with zero scholarship offers—we witness what happens when stubborn determination meets divine purpose. Eckstein didn't wait for recognition; he walked on at the University of Florida, faced rejection, kept showing up, and eventually became a World Series MVP. His journey reminds us that God isn't looking for the most talented or the biggest; He's looking for those who will faithfully steward what they've been given. Whether we're stuck on the bench, handling responsibilities no one notices, or feeling overlooked in our gifts, this message challenges us to treat every small opportunity as sacred. God sees our faithfulness in the hidden places, and when we honor Him with excellence in the little things, He prepares us for greater assignments. The question isn't whether we have the most talent—it's whether we're maximizing what we've been entrusted with.

  • Happy New Year!!!
    Jan 4 2026

    As we step into a new year, we're reminded that spiritual preparation is just as important as setting goals for our physical and professional lives. The powerful message from Ephesians 6:11-17 calls us to put on the full armor of God—not just once, but daily as we face life's battles. Through the lens of baseball pitcher Adam Wainwright's strategic approach to the game, we discover a profound truth: just as a successful pitcher needs various pitches to face different situations, we need different spiritual weapons for the challenges we encounter. The belt of truth grounds us in Scripture, the breastplate of righteousness protects our hearts, faith shields us from doubt, salvation guards our minds, and God's Word becomes our offensive weapon. This isn't just ancient advice—it's a daily practice that transforms how we navigate temptation, fear, and confusion. When we commit to putting on this armor each morning, we acknowledge that God hasn't sent us into life's struggles empty-handed. Instead, He's equipped us with everything necessary to stand firm, reminding us that spiritual preparedness is the foundation for victory in every area of our lives.
