Grace just finished her career at Oklahoma after winning three national championships, but beyond her athletic talents she wants to impact the world for Jesus! She made a decision to be different when she went to college and God blessed that obedience in big ways. She has led many teammates to Christ through living life consistently and being bold as well as starting a conference for college softball players!

She gave us some great insight into her experiences and the obedience that has led to where she is today. You won't want to miss it!

The scripture Grace referenced: John 1:1

Mallory has been friend of the COTD crew for several years. Janie met her while she was working with PAO and brought her in to our world where she has blessed and challenged us on more than one occasion.

She is a wife, mother, and faithful worker in ministry. We loved getting to have her on the podcast, she shared so many relatable nuggets and applicable ideas to encourage us in our journey with the Bible. 

The scripture she shared with us was Matthew 4:19.

She also mentioned a great resource from Tara Leigh Cobbles called "The Bible Recap" It's a 365 day plan both in physical format and podcast format if you would like to check that out as well.

Lorie has been a part of Church on the Dirt from the very beginning. As one of our founders, she has led and organized COTD while many of us were still competing. She is a wife, mother, coach, and go-getter. She loves the Word of God and has been walking faithfully with Him for a long time, as you'll learn from this episode. 

She offers great advice on working with young women,  prioritizing our time with God both as individuals but also as a team since they have communicated their faith as a core value for their organization. She has illuminated stories in the Bible in creative ways for many years, and so many of us are better for it.  We hope you enjoy this episode with Lorie!

The passage of scripture that Lorie referenced was Luke 8:40-48, commonly known as the story about the woman that bled.

What a treat to have UCLA All-American, Olympian and global professional softball player, Bubba Nickles, on our summer podcast! Bubba brings such a kind, real, and reverent perspective to her journey of learning to love and God's word. So much of what she shares is relatable and honest. And her joy in sharing when the Bible came to life for her is the heartbeat of this podcast. We truly hope that as you hear the excitement of others that you would be inspired and encouraged to open the Bible yourself.

Bubba shared that when she started reading in Genesis she was amazed but all the events that happened. Genesis is a lot but she mentioned the story of creation that is found in Genesis 1 and 2. She also mentioned Joseph's incredible story that can be found starting in Genesis 37 and goes through the end of Genesis.

We are so excited to have Jake on. He is a professional baseball player, husband to COTD's Janie Reed, and a new dad! He understands the grind of traveling, trying to perform, and making time to grow in Christ. What is cool about Jake's story is that he was ultimately saved through reading the Bible. He didn't come to Christianity with any preconceived notions, he just started reading in Matthew and God became real.

This episode is a great listen, we talk Bible, being a new dad, the local church and so much more! We hope you enjoy!

For further study of the passage Jake mentioned you should read Matthew chapters 5-7.

We hope you enjoy this episode!

Scripture Ali referenced: The story of Gideon can be found in Judges 6 and 7.

Michelle "Meesh" Moultrie is a faithful follower of Jesus with an incredible story for her softball career. She played at the University of Florida where she was the Most Outstanding Player at the WCWS. She has played for Team USA for over a decade and   was a valuable member of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic team. She now plays for the OKC Spark in the WPF.

More important than all the softball accolades, she has such a kind spirit that sees the world and the people in it so uniquely. Michelle brings a sweet wisdom to COTD and she also has led worship for us on the road in our USA Softball days! 

We hope you get a glimpse into the life of Michelle and see just how special she is. Praying that something from this episode would encourage you today.
