The Christian life is hard. Not because God is cruel or distant, but because He is a loving Father who is conforming His children to the image of His Son (Romans 8:29). That process — sanctification — is often agonizing. But the agony is not without aim, and the pain is not without purpose. We run the race with endurance by fixing our eyes on the One who ran before us...

Every Christian who desires to grow in holiness must wrestle with this reality: sanctification begins not by addition, but by subtraction. Before you can grow, you must lay aside. Before you can run with endurance, you must lighten your load. Hebrews 12:1 gives us a clear command: “Let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us…” This is the discipline of spiritual subtraction—a God-give

The Christian life is not a stroll. It is not a sprint fueled by fleeting emotion or circumstantial zeal. It is a marathon. A long, grueling, disciplined race that demands endurance, focus, and spiritual fortitude.

The Backyard Is Your Training Field You don’t need a turf field or a private coach to get better this summer. You just need a little space, a little effort, and a love for the game. If you’ve got a backyard, a front yard, a driveway—or even just a wall—you’ve got everything you need to train.

Core Work = More Power What do hitting, throwing, sprinting, and fielding all have in common? They all rely on core strength.Your core is the powerhouse of your body—it connects your upper body and lower body, and when it’s strong, everything you do in baseball gets better.

Play Catch! You don’t need a thousand-dollar throwing program to get a stronger arm. You just need a ball, a glove, and a plan. This summer, one of the best ways you can become a better baseball player is simple: play catch consistently, and play it with purpose.

This passage highlights the radical nature of salvation. When we truly encounter Christ, we die to our old way of living. Our priorities, desires, and very identity are reshaped. We no longer live for ourselves, but for the One who gave everything for us.

What a moment. God used that coach to drive home exactly what we were telling our boys: baseball is just the platform — our real purpose is sharing the gospel and representing Christ well. The way we carry ourselves on the field matters.

As we commit to walking in wisdom – efficiently, energetically, and effectively – we'll begin to see transformation in our lives and the lives of those around us. We'll make better use of our time, find greater joy in obedience, and leave a lasting impact on our world.

We often encounter challenges that test our faith, endurance, and character. It's easy to view these trials as burdens or setbacks, but what if we could see them through a different lens? What if these moments of difficulty are actually opportunities for growth, refinement, and spiritual maturation?

In our modern context, giving our firstfruits might look like prioritizing our giving to God's work before allocating funds to other areas o
