Ep. #146 - What an MLB Scout Learned About Faith Through Baseball

In this episode, I sit down with Nick Hamilton—former minor league baseball player, now MLB scout, husband—to talk about his journey of faith, baseball, and finding purpose beyond the game.

Nick shares what it was like to chase his dream of professional baseball, how he navigated the transition after his playing days ended, and what he’s learned about trusting God’s plan in every season of life. We also discuss how baseball has shaped his faith, the lessons the game teaches about discipline, perseverance, and humility, and why staying rooted in Christ is the most important thing—whether on or off the field.

If you’ve ever struggled with moving forward after a dream ends or wondered how to bring your faith into your work and passions, this episode will encourage and challenge you!
