Tampa Bay’s Zobrist welcomes church’s counsel
April 3rd, 2009
Back in November, I had the privilege of meeting up with Ben Zobrist of the Tampa Bay Rays and going to church with him at Community Bible Church in Nashville, Tenn. Ben and his wife Julianna are an impressive couple with a heart for the Lord and for His church. I was equally impressed with the church and its pastor, Byron Yawn.
My stories about Zobrist are now up on Baptist Press Sports:
Tampa Bay shortstop welcomes church’s counsel
Zobrist’s heart for pastors comes from upbringing
Some other new stories on BP Sports are also very good:
‘No’ to pro ball, ‘yes’ to the ministry
Heisman winner burdened for inner cities
Pistol Pete’s faith gets new spotlight
And then a couple of insightful columns:
Brett Maragni: Learning leadership from little league
Gordon Cloud: A fly in the ointment
If he were only a Yankee, this would be a perfect story!
