Sharing God’s love in a modern and artistic way. Follow for our Diamond Devotional and other posts about loving God as an athlete, parent, or just a Christian
The rosary is a warrior’s weapon—a spiritual sword in the battle for your soul and the souls of your loved ones. As a husband and father, it’s a powerful way to lead, protect, and intercede for your family.
Each bead represents a prayer; each prayer is a step closer to Christ through the guidance of His Mother. It’s a daily discipline that strengthens faith, sharpens virtue, and reminds us that we fight not just for this world, but for eternity.
Men, pick up your beads. Lead. Protect. Pray.
@CoachSwit The answer is simple - when coaches stop asking parents to pay of anything.
Travel ball teams with no cost to players, summer collegiate baseball, college ball and pro ball my boys are on their own and handle those conversations personally.
In Romans 1:21–25, Paul explains how humanity exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshiped created things rather than the Creator. These ancient patterns are a mirror modern idolatry—not condemning individuals, but calling people to turn from false worship to the living God
Scripture is like a flashlight revealing things that reside in the darkness of your life. Scripture is like a mirror reflecting challenges, mistakes, attitude, and victories in your life. Scripture is like sandpaper smoothing the areas of your heart, mind, and life to give God glory.
A lot of my Catholic friends are also parents so I just created this community to help parents navigate the cost and overall experience of parenting kids in youth and high school baseball. I have 4 boys ranging from 6 to 18 and have experienced it all from t-ball to baseball scholarships and even the process of helping my son sign with a sports agency and meet with professional baseball teams ahead of the draft. Hope others will join to learn and share their own experiences and recommendations, with limited money/budget as a major concern.
Faith is a concept that the world has often diluted and misunderstood. Throughout the Bible, we see countless stories of people struggling with faith. From the very beginning, Satan challenged God’s trustworthiness when speaking to Eve, testing her faith, and leading her to sin. Abram, despite being promised descendants as numerous as the stars, grew impatient and took matters into his own hands by fathering a child with his wife’s servant. Moses, a great leader of Israel, was denied entry into the Promised Land because of a lapse in faith.
This pattern repeats throughout the Old and New Testaments. Take Peter, for example—standing on water before Jesus, he became distracted by the storm and was called out for his lack of faith. Yet, the Bible also provides examples of extraordinary faith. Abraham was willing to sacrifice his son Isaac, trusting that God would fulfill His promise to form nations through Isaac. The bleeding woman believed that simply touching Jesus’ garment would bring her healing—and it did.
Faith is far more than just acknowledging God’s existence or believing that Jesus is His Son. Even Satan and the demons recognized those truths. True faith is trusting God completely, even when circumstances seem impossible, and living in a way that reflects that trust.
How many of you can see God’s love and beauty in their spouse?
My wife of almost 20 years radiates God’s love and passion and thinking of her brings me peace in my heart.
As I began my Bible-in-a-year study, one thing that has stood out to me in these first seven days is how broken people were back then, just as they are now. I’ve noticed a lot of “end of days” talk on my X timeline, but when you compare it to the events in Genesis, is it really much different? Adam blamed Eve for giving him the fruit, Cain killed Abel, Noah’s son dishonored him by sleeping with Noah’s wife, Abraham asked his wife to pretend to be his sister, leading to her being taken into rulers’ households. Then there’s Jacob deceiving his father and Joseph’s brothers selling him into slavery. These stories and so many others make me wonder—are things today really that different? And why is it so difficult to learn from the past instead of making the same mistakes?
Speak with honesty in prayer - Have you heard the story of a woman whose husband was dying of a terrible illness and spent many months in the hospital. There was a statue of the Blessed Mother outside the hospital, and one day, the wife became so frustrated that upon leaving the hospital, she began to pick up rocks and dirt and throw them at the statue. Security ran out to stop her, but one of the sisters held them back, saying - “No, don’t stop her. She is praying”.
Consider the number of people in the Bible who regularly expressed this sort of frustration, confusion, and anger to God: the Psalmist, Abraham, Moses, Jeremiah and Job.
