First Step Back

Baseball player taking the first step back to catch a ball, symbolizing faith, readiness, and trust in God’s direction.

First Step Back   This week’s devotional is a thoughtful contribution from Austin Wilson, a friend of the Bibles & Baseball team. Drawing from his experiences in baseball, Austin encourages us to stretch our faith beyond our own limits and trust in something greater than ourselves. First Step Back Ever since we started playing baseball […]

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

Baseball player sitting in the dugout, gazing toward the field, reflecting on faith and finding peace 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 […]

Jesus Saves—and So Do Double Plays

Baseball player sliding safely into home plate as the catcher holds the ball, symbolizing salvation, victory, and God’s saving grace.

Jesus Saves—and So Do Double Plays   We know the power of a double play. One pitch. Two outs. Momentum shifts. The defense locks in. The crowd comes alive. And just like that, what looked like a dangerous inning becomes a clean getaway. Double plays don’t just stop trouble—they change the game. And they happen […]

Baseball and Apple Pie

Baseball with apples and apple pies against an American flag background, symbolizing tradition, gratitude, and faith in God’s blessings.

Baseball and Apple Pie   America. We love our apple pie, baseball, and freedom. Today, we celebrate the freedoms we’ve been blessed with—freedoms granted by God and protected by those who’ve served our country. This weekend at the ballpark, we’ll enjoy America’s pastime and the freedom to live, speak, and worship as we choose. But […]

The Only Way to Get Better

Baseball player kneeling on the field with his hat to his head in prayer, symbolizing humility, growth, and faith in God.

The Only Way to Get Better   There’s a saying: “The only way to get better at baseball… is baseball.” No drills, BP sessions, or practice reps can fully prepare you for game day unless you’re actually playing the game. If you’ve spent any time with this sport—whether loving it or struggling with it—you get […]

Sacrifice

Baseball resting on a dusty home plate with the word “SACRIFICE,” symbolizing selflessness, faith, and commitment to God’s purpose.

Sacrifice This week’s devo comes from our very own Ryan Lawson, President of Bibles of Baseball. About ten years ago, Ryan’s life took a major turn when he realized that Jesus was pursuing him. Since then, after accepting Christ as his Savior and starting to walk with Him, Ryan says his life has been completely […]

Daddy Ball

Father playing baseball with his young son, symbolizing love, mentorship, and faith in family through Bibles and Baseball.

Daddy Ball   Nothing makes my eyes roll harder than Daddy Ball. You know the scene—the shortstop who didn’t earn the position, the “ace” pitcher who can’t throw a strike. It ruins the experience for everyone. Parents get frustrated. Teammates lose motivation. And most importantly, some talented kids never get the chance to reach their full […]

Overthinking

Yogi Berra, representing wisdom, humor, and a reminder to trust God instead of overthinking.

Overthinking Reflection:  Yogi Berra, a legendary baseball player and Hall of Famer, is remembered not only for his skills on the field but also for his humorous and insightful quotes. One of his most famous lines is: “Baseball is 90 percent mental. The other half is physical.” (Source: MLB.com) Anyone who has played, coached or […]
