What happens when your biggest dreams collide with God’s greater plan?

In Episode 5 of Beam Boldly, host Brooke Gleichowski sits down with Major League Baseball pitcher Kendall Graveman of the Houston Astros for a powerful conversation about faith, discipline, and the lessons that come through surrender. From pitching in the World Series to facing career-threatening injury, Kendall shares how God used both triumph and trial to shape his purpose beyond the mound.

He opens up about growing up in small-town Alabama, discovering discipleship at Mississippi State, walking through physical pain and spiritual refinement, and learning how to lead his family with humility and grace. His story is a reminder that success without surrender is empty — and that every season has a purpose.

Key moments:

• Finding faith and mentorship at Mississippi State
• When injury becomes discipline — and renewal
• The prayer that redefined influence and calling
• Balancing fatherhood, purpose, and performance
• Living out gratitude and peace in pressure
