The Miami Marlins today acquired Minor League RHP Logan Whitaker from Minnesota in exchange for RHP Garrett Acton.
Whitaker, 25, went 4-0 with a 2.11 ERA (9 ER/38.1 IP), 36 hits (1 home run), 10 walks, and 33 strikeouts in 25 relief appearances between High-A Cedar Rapids and Double-A Wichita in his second season in the Twins' organization. The North Carolina State product was originally selected by Minnesota in the 19th round (578th overall) of the 2024 First-Year Player Draft.
Passion of The Christ🇻🇦🩸
“Mel Gibson warned actor Jim Caviezel that playing the character of Christ was going to be very difficult and that if he accepted, he most likely would be marginalized by Hollywood.
Caviezel asked for a day to think about it and his response to Mel who was funding and directing the movie was: "I think we have to make it, even if it is difficult." And something else, my initials are J.C., and I am 33 years old. "I didn't realize that until now."
Mel responded with “You're really scaring me you know.”
During filming, Jim Caviezel who plays the part of Jesus lost 45 pounds, he was struck by lightning, he was accidentally struck twice during the scourging scene leaving a deep 14-inch scar, he dislocated his shoulder when the cross was dropped into the hole with him on the cross. He then suffered pneumonia and hypothermia from being nearly naked with only a loin cloth on the cross for endless hours. The crucifixion scene alone took 5 weeks of the 2 months of shooting.
His body was so stressed and exhausted from playing the role that he had to undergo two open heart surgeries after the filming production.
Jim explained, “I didn’t want people to see me. I just want them to see Jesus. Conversions will happen through that.”
Almost like a clairvoyant prediction many amazing things happened.
Pedro Sarubbi, who played Barabbas, felt that it was not Caviezel who was looking at him, but Jesus Christ himself, as he played that role he said of Caviezel, “His eyes had no hatred or resentment towards me, only mercy and love."
Luca Lionello, the artist who played Judas, was an avowed atheist before shooting began. He eventually converted, and baptized his children.
One of the main technicians working on the film was a Muslim converted to Christianity.
Some producers said they saw actors dressed in white they didn’t recognize during one of the filming sessions, and when they reviewed the recordings they realized they couldn’t see them in that footage.
The Passion of the Christ is the highest grossing US religious as well as the highest R-rated film of all time, with $370.8 million! Worldwide, it grossed $611 million.
More importantly, it has reached 100’s of millions of people around the world.
Mel Gibson paid $30 million out of his own pocket for the production of the film because no studio would take on the project.
Today Jim Caviezel simply and boldly proclaims his faith in Christ, and the miracle it was for him to represent Christ as an actor and a greater believer of Christ because of this experience.
God will always use those who fully surrender their own desires to accomplish His will. Thank you @reallycaviezel for answering the call to further the work of God’s Eternal Kingdom.

President Trump just hosted a press briefing at the White House.
One by one, Trump, Bondi, & Hegseth delivered major announcements and clues on what's coming next—directly to the American people.
Here’s everything you should know (no joke, it gets crazier the further you read):
I’ll be at the White House this coming Wednesday night and Thursday for a special Easter dinner and worship service.
I think it’s a wonderful and meaningful thing that a worship service is being held in the White House during Easter Week!
I’ve been asked to read a passage of Scripture and lead in prayer. My friend Franklin Graham will be sharing the message. It’s going to be a very special day.
Listen to this powerful statement President Trump released for Easter week:
“This Holy Week, Melania and I join in prayer with Christians celebrating the crucifixion and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ—the living Son of God who conquered death, freed us from sin, and unlocked the gates of Heaven for all of humanity.”
Start your day with the Bible. End the day with the Bible. Memorize the Bible. It’s a good thing to carry a Bible in a backpack or purse, but the best place to carry the Word of God is in your heart!
