Unashamed of the Gospel

Baseball and the Bible

About

What does it look like to be unashamed of the gospel in a world that often rewards silence? This episode takes us straight to the heart of that question through the story of Gunnar Henderson, a young MLB star who refused to wait for permission to speak about his faith. From the moment he stepped into the big leagues, Gunnar made it clear that his identity was rooted in something far greater than baseball. When he won AL Rookie of the Year, he did not lead with his stats or his team. He led with Jesus. That kind of boldness is rare, and it challenges us to ask ourselves where we are holding back. Romans 1:16 reminds us that the gospel does not need us to be polished or perfectly prepared before we share it. The power belongs to God, not to our eloquence. Gunnar's story is a living illustration of that truth, and it invites us to consider what moments in our own lives we might be treating as too small or too early to speak up.
