God and the World Series: MLB Players Promote Faith on World’s Biggest Stage
As the World Series battles on, faith and baseball intersect in a grand slam moment for players and fans alike. This year’s matchup between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees isn’t just a contest between two powerhouse teams—it’s a showcase of faith, with star players stepping up to the plate to share what their beliefs mean to them, both on and off the field.
CBN Sports reporter Will Dawson captures this spirit firsthand, sitting down with players who are unashamed to reveal how their faith keeps them grounded amid the intensity of the season. “Baseball and sports in general is a brotherhood,” Dawson notes. “But there’s a different battle—a spiritual battle—and it’s not just your teammates in this; it’s your brothers in Christ.”
Dodgers’ first baseman Freddie Freeman is one of the many players unafraid to reveal how his faith sustains him. Freeman recently faced a crisis when his three-year-old son was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome, a serious autoimmune disorder. Reflecting on the ordeal, Freeman says he “leaned on [his faith] a lot.” His family, grounded in faith, became his support system, and he drew strength from his team chaplain, Brandon Cash. “Having a great network of people to keep us strong, keep the faith … it’s been really good,” Freeman says.

Is Donald Trump a Christian? Mark Driscoll Weighs In
In a recently posted video, Pastor Mark Driscoll addresses a question on the minds of many Christians: Is Donald Trump truly a Christian?
Driscoll shares his thoughts on Trump’s faith, offering insights from his recent experience at the National Faith Advisory Board event. In the video, Driscoll also encourages Christians to prioritize policy over personality in the upcoming election, emphasizing the importance of aligning voting decisions with biblical values.
“It was largely pastors and ministry leaders,” Driscoll says, recounting a schedule filled with “a lot of worship and a lot of prayer” at the event. He and his wife, Grace, believe it may have been “the last pastor’s Faith event before the election.” According to Driscoll, the timing adds weight to the day, as many leaders anticipate the upcoming election and discuss issues they see as vital to their communities.
