Washed Clean

A baseball jersey hangs over a wash tub as water pours down, washing away mud and dirt. The image contrasts a stained uniform with a clean one, symbolizing forgiveness, renewal, and being washed clean through faith. The graphic features the headline "Washed Clean" alongside scripture references from Psalm 103:12, 1 John 1:9, and Isaiah 1:18.

Washed Clean: By the end of a baseball game, a uniform can be a complete mess. Grass stains.  Clay ground into the knees.  Dirt streaked across the chest.  Sweat.  Mud packed into every crease. But something happens before the next game. That dirty uniform gets washed. The stains that looked permanent are cleaned. The mud […]

Who’s in Your Dugout?

Youth baseball players stand shoulder-to-shoulder in a dugout during a team prayer or huddle, with the devotional title “Who’s In Your Dugout?” displayed prominently in bold black and orange lettering alongside the Bibles & Baseball logo.

Who’s in Your Dugout? Baseball is not meant to be played alone. Every player needs teammates in the dugout, coaches in the corner, and people who will tell them the truth when they’re getting off track. The same is true in life and in faith. The people closest to you will influence your attitude, your […]

Know the Stats or Know the Savior

Know the Stats or Know the Savior:   You can know a lot about someone and still not know them at all. I can tell you that Ken Griffey Jr. had one of the sweetest swings in baseball history, wore #24, and hit 630 home runs. I can tell you that Matt Olson is a […]

The Ultimate Comeback

The Ultimate Comeback:   Every baseball fan loves a comeback. Bottom of the ninth. Two outs. Down to your last strike. It looks finished. The crowd starts heading for the exits.

Faithful in the Small Rep: Spring Training Series – Part 3 (Roster Evaluation & Opportunity)   Spring Training is the evaluation season. Every rep matters. Every drill counts.

Iron Sharpens Iron

Crossed wooden baseball bats resting on a dugout bench with a glove and baseball on the dirt floor beneath the headline “Iron Sharpens Iron” from Proverbs 27:17.

Iron Sharpens Iron:   In baseball, the difference between a good player and a great player often comes down to practice, discipline, and teamwork. You don’t just show up and swing the bat once in a while—you hone your skills, listen to coaching, and push through when the game gets tough.  You also hold your […]

The Ball Starts the Game

The Ball Starts the Game Jesus Starts Everything Keep Your Eye on the ball; a devotional series by Bibles and Baseball   Before the uniforms matter, before the lineup is announced, before the stands fill up—there is one non-negotiable detail: the ball must be put in play.

From the Mound to the Manger A Christmas Devotional for Ballplayers, Coaches, Fans & Baseball Parents   “He made Himself nothing… being born in human likeness.” — Philippians 2:7 Every baseball player knows this truth: no matter how good you are, the game humbles you.

The Light That Broke The Darkness

THE LIGHT THAT BROKE THE DARKNESS   A baseball game changes the moment the stadium lights flip on. One second the field is swallowed in shadows; the next, everything is visible. The game makes sense again—you can see the hops, the angles, the routes. Light brings clarity and confidence. Christmas is God doing the same […]

Thank You

Bibles & Baseball leaders standing together, representing the heart and direction of the ministry.

Thank You   A lingering thought. A dinner conversation. A few too many missed church services. And a hope—quiet but steady—that things didn’t have to stay that way.  From that hope, families who love baseball and love Jesus came together with one simple prayer: Lord, use our time at the ballpark to show others who […]
