R.A. Dickey is a 2012 NL Cy Young Award winner and MLB All-Star pitcher. In that season he set a NY Mets record for most consecutive scoreless innings at 32 2/3 innings. He pitched for several ML teams, most notably the Texas Rangers, New York Mets, and Toronto Blue Jays. He retired in 2017 as one of the most famous knuckleball pitchers of all time. But his journey to reach that level of stardom was filled with devastating twists and turns.

R.A. experienced abuse as a child that he will talk about in this episode, and he will also detail how he ran to sports as a coping mechanism. In high school he met a guy who invited him to FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) and he ultimately gave his life to Jesus. But it wasn't all flowers and sunshine after that.

R.A. will share his inspirational story of being drafted in the 1st round by the Texas Rangers, only to fail the team physical because of a medical defect in his pitching elbow. He lost out on the initial $800,000 + signing bonus and settled for a $75,000 bonus because he believed he was "damaged goods". This mindset stuck with him and he struggled in the minor leagues with the Rangers for several years. Just when he thought his run in the MLB was coming to an end, Buck Showalter and Orel Hershiser sat him down and recommended he try throwing a new pitch that he had developed called "The Thing." The change would be disastrous at first, but would ultimately lead to the greatest heights as a pitcher!

The struggle to persevere meant facing all of the inner-demons that had been locked away for many years. R.A. needed to believe in himself, but deep inside he felt guilt and shame over what he had experienced as a child...Listen to the episode to hear how R.A. fought and won the battle.

He has a book available on Amazon called: Where I May Wind Up

Today R.A. Dickey sits on the board of NAHT, the Nashville Anti-Human Trafficking Coalition. He has committed his life to help others who have been harmed by abuse and are trapped in life. Go to NAHT's website and see how you can help in this fight to set people free from trafficking.

CLINE is an incredible band that prioritizes faith, family, and music. Their history as country musicians shaped their sound; now, their songs' lyrics reflect their walk with the Lord. Made up of three members, Garrett, Jacq, and Darrick. They released their first CCM single two years ago, and have been releasing new singles for the past three months: Worthy One, Worship in the Waiting, and the soon to be released You Will Sing Again.

For 9 years Garrett and Darrick held down the rhythm as part of Dylan Scott's recording and touring band. They were involved in multiple platinum selling singles and enjoyed playing to sold out shows all across the country! But they never lost their heart for worship.

Garrett and Jacq are married to each other and while Garrett was on the road, Jacq was a main worship leader on the Hillvue Heights worship team in Bowling Green. Darrick and Garrett would return home and join the team as well...worship has always been their calling...so when the time came to leave the road and pursue what God had ordained, CLINE was the result.

This episode will cover their musical journey and how God is doing new, exciting things in the band!
