Summer Spiritual Content | Faith and Perseverance

A message from your Chaplain Commissioner, Josh Murray:

Welcome to another summer of RBI baseball and softball! As we partner with you again this year in the spiritual development of our young athletes, we have targeted our focus to prayer and Scripture. The weekly curriculum is built primarily around these two things, and each devotional will be highlighted with the areas we would like coaches to focus on. The longer devotional and additional Bible passages included are optional.

Week 1 – Fight the Good Fight
Week 2 – Coming Up Short
Week 3 – The Will
Week 4 – In the Clouds
Week 5 – Neutral or High Gear
Week 6 – Spiritual Strength Training
Week 7 – Patience, Peace, and Perseverance
Week 8 – Working for Victory

Summer Spiritual Content | What is Love?

Pick Someone to Lead. Identify one member of your coaching staff (or even a parent volunteer) who can be responsible for reviewing thecurriculum each week. With so much going on during a practice, it can be hard to remember to fit it in, but if it someone’s specific responsibility, it’ll make it easier.
Build It Into Your Practice Routine. If you haven’t already, build this time into your practice. At the end of every practice, your coach can huddle every one up and have a 5-minute debrief on this week’s content.
Get Creative + Stick With It. Feel free to pick one element of the curriculum and stick with it. Maybe you focus in on the memory verse and develop creative ways to incorporate it into practice. Maybe you give out a weekly game ball to an individual on the team who memorizes the memory verse. Do what works best for your team.

Jr. RBI “What is Love?” Curriculum

Our focus is most importantly on prayer this year, especially for Jr. RBI. The verse and weekly wisdom are simply designed as a lead in to a weekly prayer over the kids. We are essentially speaking truth over them threefold.

Curriculum Overview

Verse of the Year: “Love is patient. Love is kind. It does not want what belongs to others. It does not brag. It is not proud. It does not dishonor other people. It does not look out for its own interests. It does not easily become angry. It does not keep track of other people’s wrongs.” – 1 Corinthians 13:4-5 NIRV
