A year ago if you were to tell me I’d have JW Kohlmeyer and Caden Merritt on a podcast to talk about God I would have said you’re insane. Again, the transformational power of God.
These two studs are both committed to play division one baseball but reflecting on the episode, we hardly even mentioned baseball! That is exactly what I love about these guys… their identity is not in baseball anymore, it is in the Lord. They do not let a sport define who they are as people, sons, brothers, teammates, etc. Both of them have grown an incremental amount over these past couple of months.
I genuinely appreciate them taking a step of faith and joining the pod. Both have been outspoken recently and it is incredible to watch from afar. They are leading a revival amongst northern Virginia high schools and surrounding communities alongside Preston Conder (Quarterbacks coach at Gainesville H.S.) who has done a tremendous job in mentoring young men and women in the area.
God is alive and moving!
Here are the verses of the week:
Caden had Proverbs 12:25 that reads “Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.” Caden opened up about his battle against anxiety which is something I am sure is not easy for him to talk about publicly but I believe the Lord will use him in mighty ways to help others find peace in knowing and trusting the Lord!
J Dub’s verse was 1 Thessalonians 5:15 that says “See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone.”
Happy listening! God bless!
