It was just a kid. A glove. A ball. And a dream.Matthew 18:3 Jesus said: ‘Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.’June 1, 2026

Disappointment. Uncertainty. Adversity is part of baseball. And it’s part of life. But what separates people isn’t whether adversity comes… It’s how they respond when it does.

What’s up everyone, welcome back to Barrels with Breland. Today’s episode is a little different — I want to reflect on this past weekend in Arizona where Cosmic Baseball took the field, but more importantly… where memories were made.”Yes, the games were incredible.Yes, the atmosphere was electric.But what stood out most wasn’t just the baseball…”It was the people. The relationships. The family. The friendships. The moments.”Psalm 118:24 “This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”May 4, 2026

What’s up everyone, welcome back to Barrels with Breland. Today we’re talking about something every player deals with at some point — difficult teammates.The teammate with:* A big ego* A bad attitude* Constant complaining* Negative energyYou might call them a distraction… or even a problem in the clubhouse.But here’s the real question: How do you handle it the right way without becoming a bad teammate yourself?Proverbs 15:1 “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.”
What’s up everyone, welcome back to Barrels with Breland. Today we’re talking about something that doesn’t show up on stat sheets but shows up in every single game — competing.Not talent. Not mechanics. Competing. Because you can have all the skill in the world…But if you don’t know how to compete, it won’t show up when it matters.Colossians 3:23 “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters."
