When Baseball Breaks Your Heart

When Baseball Breaks Your Heart: Baseball can break your heart. A season ends sooner than you hoped. An injury takes away the game you love.  A player gets cut.  A senior plays his final inning.  A team falls one game short.  A routine ground ball becomes the mistake you cannot stop replaying in your mind. […]

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 […]

Custom Made

Custom Made baseball devotion about being created with purpose and value by God

Custom Made:   Think about an expensive, custom-made baseball glove. Not something pulled off a shelf. This is high-level craftsmanship—premium leather, designed with intention, built for a specific role. Every stitch matters. Every detail is there for a reason. It’s ready the moment it hits the field because it was made right from the start. […]

Faithful in the Small Reps

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. Players fight for roster spots. Young prospects try to prove they belong. Veterans show they still have it. Nobody earns a role by talking about it. They […]

Built for the Long Season

Built for the Long Season: Spring Training Series – Part 1 (Preparation & Conditioning)   Every serious ballplayer knows  this: you don’t train for Opening Day — you train for the season. The baseball season is long. It tests legs, arms, focus, attitude, and character. Spring Training isn’t flashy. It’s early mornings, conditioning drills, bullpen […]

The Weight of Words

Baseball-themed graphic with the words “The Weight of Words” over a moody dugout scene and a silhouetted player holding a bat

The Weight of Words:   Baseball is a game of routine, but it is shaped by moments—and those moments are shaped by words. A short phrase in the dugout can calm a hitter. A steady voice from a coach can slow the game down. One positive sentence can free a player to compete instead of […]

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 […]

Salt in the Dugout, Light in the Game

Baseball resting on a wooden bench in the dugout, symbolizing faith, purpose, and being the salt and light of 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. […]
