Faith Friday

Welcome to Faith Friday, the weekly digital series from Extra Inning Softball that highlights the purpose behind the player. As we continue shifting toward on-the-go, faith-driven content, Faith Friday offers encouragement, reflection, and bold conversations that remind us who we play for—on and off the field.

This week, Extra Inning Softball team members Katie Lively and Carie Dever-Boaz sit down with former Mississippi State Bulldog and two-time SEC Player of the Year Iyhia McMichael for a candid conversation about faith, purpose, and perseverance.

Iyhia shares how her relationship with God shaped her journey—from All-American honors and SEC glory to the quiet moments of growth no one saw. Together, they explore what it means to live with eternal perspective in a sport that often rewards instant results.

Through her story, Iyhia reminds us that success on the field is powerful—but knowing your identity in Christ is what truly sustains you when the crowd fades and life gets real.

Whether you’re an athlete, coach, or parent, this conversation will meet you where you are—and point you back to the One who never leaves your side.
