The more you pray the greater your capacity to lead and overcome challenges. A praying leader is a more positive and effective leader.

18-year-old Arizona teen gives an elderly man his shoes after noticing the man's shoes were barely hanging on his feet. Jordan Hope says he felt that God was telling him to approach the man. "I looked at his feet and his shoes were like maybe a fourth on his foot," Hope said. "I just felt like God told me to go over there, turn around and just give him some new slides. So I took off my own shoes. I gave them to him, and I just felt like I brought maybe a peace in his life." Little did Hope know, a stranger was watching the entire encounter and shared the footage online. After giving the man, Mr. Roy, his shoes and leaving, something told Hope to turn back. Hope found Mr. Roy in Walgreens and found out his wife had died two weeks earlier. "I just think he needed a friend... It’s hard asking for help sometimes. And I’m just glad that God brought me there in that moment to just show my light on other people." Hope ordered the man a rideshare because he had a hard time getting into his own car due to a leg swelling condition, and they met at Culver's for lunch. "I knew a tug pulled on my heart, and it was definitely from God... He interrupted my plans for that day to carry on His plans," Hope said. Hope says he now talks to Mr. Roy daily. The young man has started a GoFundMe for the elderly man. I will link it below.

The count decides the at bat in D1 softball. 0 and 0: .749 OPS 
Win the first pitch, 1 and 0: .844
Lose it, 0 and 1: .631 The biggest pitch is 2 and 1. Ball makes it 3 and 1 (1.082). Strike makes it 2 and 2 (.631). Swing at strike one. Don't chase strike three.

If we treated our Bibles like our phones, imagine how much we would grow spiritually.

HOT TAKE: Winning doesn't prove you have a great culture. And losing doesn't prove you have a bad one.

81% OF COLLEGE SOFTBALL IS NOT D1. Read that again. There are 308 NCAA Division I softball programs — but roughly 1,300+ programs outside of D1. That means about 4 out of every 5 college softball programs are NOT Division I. If your recruiting list starts and ends with D1, you’re eliminating most of college softball before a coach ever gets the chance to tell you no. D1 is great. So is D2. D3. NAIA. JUCO. Stop treating anything outside D1 like a consolation prize. Your worth is not determined by the letters beside your school’s name. Find the coach who believes in you. Find the team that needs you. Find the school where you can grow, compete, get your degree and PLAY. Don’t chase a label so hard that you miss your place. Broaden. 👏 Your. 👏 List. 👏

If your “yes” means “until something better comes along,” you’re not ready to commit. Explore your options. Visit schools. Ask questions. Take the time you need to make an informed decision. But committing just to hold a spot while you keep shopping? That’s dishonest. “But coaches do it to kids.” And I’ll hold coaches to the same standard. Someone else breaking their word doesn’t make yours disposable. There are legitimate reasons to reconsider a commitment. Changes in coaching, finances, family circumstances, or serious concerns about a program deserve honest conversations. That’s different from knowingly using a school as your backup while chasing a bigger logo. Parents, we can teach our athletes to advocate for themselves AND honor their word. Those values can coexist. If you’re still looking, be honest about that. If something changes, communicate directly. Commit when you mean it. Your word should mean more than your commitment graphic. P.S. Celebrate the commitment. Keep the offers private. You don’t need to post every option to celebrate the one you chose. 💙

Rules are the baseline. That's what everyone has to do. Standards? That’s what champions choose to do. Great players don’t just follow rules. They set the standard.
