Built to Perform

High school baseball player sits on a dugout bench at sunset tying his cleats before a game. His glove, bat, and water bottle rest beside him as he prepares on the field, symbolizing discipline, preparation, and stewardship.

Built to Perform:   No serious baseball player walks onto the field with broken equipment on purpose. Players take care of their glove. They choose the right cleats. They tape their bats. They hydrate. They stretch. They train. They recover. Why? Because they understand performance is affected by preparation. A player cannot expect to perform […]

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 […]

Steady Through Every Season

A mother sits beside her son in a baseball uniform on bleachers at sunset, arm around him as they overlook a baseball field. The image includes the devotional title “Steady Through Every Season” and a message about faithful motherhood and pointing children toward God.

Steady Through Every Season:   Baseball will expose you. One week you can’t miss a pitch. The next week you can’t buy a hit. You make a great play on Monday and boot a routine ground ball on Thursday. The game is built on inconsistency. That’s why every player, every team, every family needs something […]

Know the Stats or Know the Savior

Baseball resting on a Holy Bible in a dugout with glove and bat in warm evening light

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 […]

Make the Adjustment

Baseball player listens to coach in dugout, symbolizing repentance, correction, and spiritual growth.

Make the Adjustment:   Every baseball player knows this moment. You swing and miss at the same pitch—again. You field a ball the wrong way. You make the same mistake twice. At some point, you have to own it. No excuses. You admit what’s wrong, listen to your coach, and make the adjustment. That’s how […]

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. But one swing changes everything. Easter is the greatest comeback in history. On Friday, it looked like defeat. Jesus Christ had been crucified, buried, […]

Build the Brotherhood: Spring Training Series – Part 4 (Team Chemistry & Culture)   Spring Training shapes culture. New players join. Veterans lead. Expectations are set. Identity forms.

Loved Before The First Pitch

Worn baseball cleats on infield dirt at sunset with laces forming the word love and the headline “Loved Before the First Pitch” for a Christian baseball devotion.

Loved Before the First Pitch:   If you love baseball, you know the feeling. You love the sound of the ball hitting the sweet spot. You love the dirt on your cleats. You love the grind of practice, the brotherhood of the dugout, the battle between the lines. Baseball isn’t casual for you. It costs […]

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. […]
