Welcome to Faith Friday, the weekly Extra Inning Softball series that delivers purpose, encouragement, and real talk from the sport’s most trusted voices. Designed for players, parents, and coaches alike, this series looks beyond the box score to the beliefs and habits that shape who we are on and off the field.
This week, we sat down with Carie Dever Boaz — former collegiate softball coach — to share perspective on listening to His voice and trusting the doors He opens and closes.
The most powerful lessons are waiting behind the scenes. Get the unfiltered perspective, Scripture-centered takeaways, and practical applications straight from Dever Boaz.
Closing Reflection
Softball is a game of adjustments, and faith steadies each step. As Dever Boaz explained, to share perspective on seeking His voice and trusting His guidance in both the doors He opens and the ones He lovingly closes, a reminder that what we believe shapes how we compete, how we serve, and how we grow—win or lose.
