Every Step Follows the Ball | Every Move Depends on Christ

Youth baseball player tracking a fly ball in his glove, symbolizing focus and faith in Christ from the Bibles and Baseball devotional series.

Every Step Follows the Ball Every Move Depends on Christ Keep Your Eye on the ball; a devotional series by Bibles and Baseball   In baseball, nobody just wanders around the field. Every movement has a purpose. Infielders shift based on the count. Outfielders take a few steps in or back depending on the hitter. […]

A Team United

Youth baseball team and coaches gathered in prayer on the field, symbolizing unity, faith, and teamwork.

A Team United   Every successful baseball team is built on unity. Pitchers depend on catchers. Infielders rely on outfielders. Veterans guide rookies. Different roles, strengths, and personalities—one goal. A team only wins when its players learn to pull together instead of pulling apart. From the moment Jesus arrived, God made it clear: His Son […]

Lead Like the Captain

Baseball catcher crouched behind the plate, focused and ready to lead the team from behind the scenes.

Lead Like the Captain   Baseball has a way of revealing character. When the game gets tight, when the heat rises, and when the pressure is on, the team looks to its captain. Not just for talent—but for tone. A true captain leads with conviction, courage, and consistency. Biblical leadership works the same way. Scripture […]

Drown Out the Noise

Drown Out The Noise   Baseball is noisy— the roar of the crowd, the chatter from the dugout, the cheers and even the jeers from the stands. Some voices lift you up; others try to tear you down. Every player knows that when you step into the batter’s box or take your position on the […]

Audience Of One

Baseball player on the field before the game, symbolizing devotion and playing for an audience of one.

Audience Of One   Baseball is full of pressure—from the crowd, the coach, teammates, and even social media. Everyone has an opinion about how you should play, what gear you should wear, or how you should act. It’s easy to get caught up in what’s popular or “in style.” But as followers of Christ, we’re […]

Salt in the Dugout, Light in the Game

Salt in the Dugout, Light in the Game   On the ball field, most players want to stand out—to make the big hit or rob that home run. In a similar way, Jesus calls His followers to stand out. He tells us to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. […]

Keep Swinging

Baseball player at the plate watching a pitch approach with the words “Keep Swinging,” symbolizing perseverance, faith, and determination.

Keep Swinging   Baseball is a game of failure. Even the best hitters strike out. But the ones who succeed are the ones who keep stepping into the box, pitch after pitch, game after game. They keep swinging. The Christian life is the same. You won’t always feel like you’re winning. Some days you strike […]

Breaking the Curse

Baseball player standing in a cloud of dust, symbolizing breaking free from past mistakes and finding redemption through faith in Christ.

Breaking the Curse   Baseball players and fans are known for being superstitious. From rally caps to lucky socks, some believe their behavior can influence the outcome of a game. One of the most famous examples is the Curse of the Billy Goat. In 1945, a Chicago Cubs fan was asked to leave Wrigley Field […]

Anywhere with God

Anywhere with God   This week’s devo comes straight from Justin Penland, treasurer of Bibles of Baseball. Justin was saved over 25 years ago and explains that was a turning point in his life that began a journey of transformation that has taught him to rely more on God’s guidance and develop and deeper faith […]
