"I don’t think it’s ironic that the best season of my career was the year I honed in on my faith. I’m able to have Bible studies with my manager, who is also a pastor. My faith is everything. I wouldn’t be here without the Man above." – Saquon Barkley
At Play By Faith, we believe stories like Saquon’s aren’t just inspiring—they’re proof. Faith shapes more than the game; it shapes the person.

That’s why we work to create an environment where young athletes can grow spiritually while building their skills on the field. We know that nurturing faith builds character, strengthens the mind, and prepares hearts for the challenges of adulthood.

Through financial support for their chosen sport, we help athletes and their families focus on what matters most: developing the discipline, courage, and faith to succeed in sports and in life.

Because when faith is the foundation, the victories go far beyond the scoreboard.

What if a pair of cleats could change a life?

At Play by Faith, we believe every child deserves the chance to feel like part of the team—because belonging matters.

Sports aren't just about winning games. They're about building friendships, learning teamwork, and feeling that incredible rush when your name gets called to join the play.

But for many families, the cost of uniforms, equipment, and fees puts that feeling out of reach. No child should ever feel left out because of financial barriers.

You can change that.

When you support Play By Faith, you’re giving more than gear—you’re giving a child a place on the team, a chance to be seen, included, and celebrated.

One act of kindness. One child’s future.
Be the reason a kid feels like they belong.

More than stats. More than fame.

Aaron Judge may be one of the greatest hitters of our time, but even with all the accolades, he knows where true greatness comes from.

“Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He’s given me this platform... The fame is great and all, but it’s not as fulfilling as the relationship I have with Him.” – Aaron Judge

At Play By Faith, we believe in using every gift for His glory—on the field and off. Whether you're chasing home runs or just showing up for your team, remember who you're really playing for.

Stay humble. Keep the faith. Swing for more than the fences.

New York Yankees star Aaron Judge has made it clear where he stands religiously. Judge is arguably the game's best hitter since prime Barry Bonds. The New York Yankees star is hitting .355 with 35 home runs and 81 RBI at the MLB All-Star break. He's on pace for a 12.0-plus WAR season, which would .....

It’s International Tabletop Day!

The first Saturday in June is a beautiful reminder to press pause, play a little, and connect with the ones you love.

At Play by Faith, we believe in the power of play—not just as fun, but as fellowship. Whether it's board games around the table, tossing a football in the yard, or riding bikes under the sun, play brings families together and reminds us of God’s greatest blessings: time, joy, and connection.

So today, we invite you to:
🌞 Step outside.
🎯 Roll the dice.
⚾ Toss the ball.
💬 Laugh a little louder.
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 And soak up the moments that matter most.

"A cheerful heart is good medicine."
— Proverbs 17:22

Let’s choose joy. Let’s choose family.
Let’s Play By Faith—today and every day.

This Mother’s Day, we salute the ultimate all-star lineup behind every young athlete:
Mom the Coach – Calling the plays, teaching fundamentals, pushing you past limits
Mom the General Manager – Juggling schedules, budgeting for gear, scouting new opportunities
Mom the Agent – Negotiating the best deals, advocating for your dreams, building your brand
Mom the Team Owner – Investing her heart, her time, her resources in your future
At Play by Faith, we know that faith-filled families are the bedrock of every champion’s journey.

Today we honor the moms who:
“Clothe themselves with strength and dignity,
and laugh without fear of the future.
When they speak, their words are wise,
and they give instructions with kindness.”
— Proverbs 31:25-26 (NIV)

Thank you, Moms, for leading with wisdom, grace, and an unwavering belief in your children’s potential. You are the true MVPs—on the field, in the stands, and in our hearts.

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at Play By Faith!

MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU…
At Play By Faith, we lead young heroes every day—not with lightsabers, but with love and laughter.
“A cheerful heart is good medicine…” – Proverbs 17:22

Even a Jedi knows:
Joy is powerful. Smiles are contagious. And giving back? That’s a move straight from the light side.
So, grab your gear, fire up your X-wing (or minivan), and help us build a galaxy where every child gets to play.

In sports, the scoreboard keeps track of wins and losses.
In life, God keeps track of love, forgiveness, and grace.
No matter how many mistakes we make, through Christ, we are offered a clean slate — a fresh start — every single day.
Just like a coach who never gives up on their team, God never gives up on us.

"But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
— Romans 5:8

Today, let's remember what really matters:
-Love your family.
-Forgive quickly.
-Be active in the lives of your children.
-And find God's presence in every moment — on and off the field.

He is risen!

Today we celebrate the greatest victory in history—Jesus Christ rising from the dead, conquering sin and death, and becoming the eternal Savior of the world.

At Play By Faith, we believe the Good News is not just something to hold in our hearts—it’s something to share with our children. Through sports, mentorship, and faith, we’re helping raise the next generation with a foundation built on hope, courage, and Christ’s love.

Let’s remind our kids today:
- The stone was rolled away.
- The tomb is empty.
- Jesus is alive.

Happy Easter from all of us at Play By Faith!

Spring is here—time to trade screen time for sunshine!

There’s nothing better than hearing laughter echo through the yard and watching your little ones light up during a game of catch. Grab a ball, head outside, and make some memories.

Spring Training: The Perfect Time to Train in Faith

Spring Training isn’t just about preparing for the season ahead—it’s about growth, perseverance, and building something stronger. And at Play by Faith, we believe that the same applies to our faith, health, and dreams!

Just like athletes train their bodies to perform at their best, we believe in the importance of training our hearts and minds through the love of Jesus Christ.

As we cheer on the athletes gearing up for the season, let’s remember what Scripture says about taking care of ourselves:

"Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies." – 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

At Play by Faith, we’re passionate about helping kids achieve their sports dreams—on and off the field—by promoting faith, love, and healthy living.

As we head into this season of growth and opportunity, we invite you to partner with us. Your donation helps us continue sharing the message of Jesus Christ while empowering kids to reach their potential in sports and in life.

If you’re looking for a worthy cause to support this season, consider Play by Faith—where dreams are nurtured with the love of Christ.

Together, let’s help these young athletes hit it out of the park!

Your donations make it possible for us to touch lives and foster stronger communities centered around Christ’s message of love and teamwork.
