"God is so good. God is so good."
Kyle Branch talking to himself at 2nd base after his 8th inning 3 run HR setting a career high with 6 RBIs with his parents and brother in the stands. Incredible.
Skip Johnson has talked a lot about "the dugout" throughout Oklahoma's run, the other guys who haven't seen the field as much as they did during the regular season still supporting their teammates
I asked Skip about that today:
"It's uncommon at every level. I mean, from Little League all the way up. When their kid's not playing, all they hear is the negative energy. These guys really have been selfless."
"Man, if you can teach those young men to be selfless in a selfish world, is really big to me. It's really big to me. When nobody cares who gets the credit, you can do amazing things. It's pretty amazing."

NEW: New Testament scholar Jeremiah Johnston shows Shawn Ryan what the Crown of Thorns that was put on Jesus' head might have looked like.
"I see love because it should have been my head in that crown. But it wasn't."
"The Bible says Jesus loved me so much when I was at my worst. God sent his best for me, who put his head in that crown that I deserved."
"And that is the beauty of the gospel."
Thank you, Jesus.

Stop Letting Youth Sports Control Your Sunday
In this powerful clip from Will Cain Country, David Pollack discusses the difficult choices parents face in the world of high-level youth sports. Pollack recounts telling a national travel ball coach that his family would not compromise on church, even if it meant his daughter lost playing time. He warns parents against the "busy, busy, busy" trap of the world and explains why it is essential to demonstrate to your children that faith always comes before the game.
Tim Tebow walks a disabled girl down the red carpet at a Night to Shine event with the @tebowfoundation.
“Let me tell you why the Night to Shine red carpet is like no other…” Tebow said of the events.
“It isn’t about fame or fortune. It’s not about A-listers. It’s about God’s VIPs.”
“Every guest is celebrated. Every life is valued. Every moment points to a simple truth: every person is made in the image of God and worthy of love, dignity, and joy.”
Amazing.
President Trump just announced that on May 17th, Americans will be invited to the National Mall in Washington for a nationwide day of prayer.
He then went a step further — proclaiming a rededication of the country “as one nation under God.”
TRUMP: “But some churches are seeing a 30%, 50% or even 70% increase in the number of converts and also the number of people going to church every week.”
“To support this exciting renewal this morning I’m pleased to announce on May 17th, 2026, that we are inviting Americans from all across the country to come together on our National Mall to pray, to give thanks and to — we are going to do something that everyone said, that’s tough.”
“We are going to rededicate America as one nation under God.”
[Applause]

NEW: 13-year-old Australian boy swims for four hours in cold and dangerous waters to save his mom and siblings who were swept into the ocean, says God is who got him to shore.
The family was on kayaks & paddleboards when they were swept about 2.5 miles out to sea.
After a conversation with his mother, Austin Appelbee decided he would swim back to shore to find help.
Appelbee says he prayed throughout the four-hour swim and told God he would get baptized if he made it out alive.
"I don't think it was actually me [swimming]... It was God the whole time. I kept on praying, kept on praying. I said to God, 'I'll get baptized.'"
"The waves are massive, and I have no life jacket on… I just kept thinking 'just keep swimming, just keep swimming,'" he said.
"And then I finally made it to shore, and I hit the bottom of the beach, and I just collapsed."
Appelbee says when he got to shore, he had to sprint for about a mile to find help.
According to AP, the family drifted 9 miles from Quindalup and spent 10 hours in the water.
When he reached the shore, Appelbee alerted authorities, who then sent out a helicopter to find his mom, 12-year-old brother, and 8-year-old sister.
Austin's mother, Joanne Appelbee, said one of the hardest decisions of her life was sending her son to shore.
"One of the hardest decisions I ever had to make was to say to Austin: 'Try and get to shore and get some help. This could get really serious really quickly,'" she said.
What a remarkable kid.

NEW: While other singers drop F bombs and virtue signal about ICE, Jelly Roll praises Jesus Christ at the Grammys.
“I know they're gonna try to kick me off here, so just let me try to get this out.”
���First of all, Jesus, I hear you and I'm listening, Lord. I am listening.”
“I want to tell y'all right now, Jesus is for everybody. Jesus is not owned by one political party. Jesus is not owned by no music label. Jesus is Jesus and anybody, everybody can have a relationship with him…”
You will have people tell you he was a shitty QB and he was never going to last.
I've watched NFL football since 1979.
Don't tell me this kid didn't have it.
They didn't let him develop.
I'm still convinced the NFL front office found ways to put the word out, as it was preparing to take the NFL woke, that it did NOT want to see this kid hang around.
🚨HALLELUJAH: President Trump just launched a new program to urging Americans to dedicate at least an hour per week to prayer.
God bless Trump for putting GOD FIRST and urging Americans to turn back to Him.
