A huge thank you to Jacob May — my 2013, 3rd round draft pick out of Coastal Carolina — for sending me one of his signed Major League jerseys.
A true class act and tremendous talent. Grateful for the gesture and proud of all he’s accomplished. Thank you, Jacob!

My dad left this world today! His name was William Gayton, Hunkpapa Lakota Sioux of Sitting Bulls Band. Grew up in a different time on Standing Rock! He had a tough upbringing! He was a good man! So much love felt from family and friends!

The greatest gift: Jesus

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”
John 3:16-17

[Kevin Burrell @KevinBurrellMLB]

Just a handful of our Baseball Coaches & Pro Scouts Weekly Bible Study group last weekend @ Northstar Church. What started as a small circle of coaches seeking encouragement & fellowship—has grown into a nationwide community of baseball coaches & pro scouts for spiritual growth.

[Kevin Burrell @KevinBurrellMLB]

Whether you’re on the field, in the dugout, or on the road scouting talent, this group has become a safe place where we can refuel spiritually through God’s word, sharpen each other, and stay grounded and accountable in what matters most; being and building disciples of Christ.

Grateful for every baseball coach and scout who has joined us along the way. Especially for the faithful mentorship and leadership of @mikelinch - Grateful for everyone God continues to bring through the doors of this baseball ministry.
