Today on the podcast, we welcome Aubrey Monroe to the show. She is Team USA's Olympic softball catcher. Aubrey has got a great story,

and we talk a lot about her journey of faith. And recently, if you turned on ESPN at all over the

last couple of weeks, you saw a lot of women's college softball. And maybe it's just because my daughter is

playing softball. But man, that is such an exciting sport to watch. My wife's into it. And every night,

she's like, all right, what game's on? We're going to turn it on and we're going to watch it.

And our daughter who plays catcher, just like Aubrey, our guest, loves watching softball as well. And so there's a keen interest

right now, I think, in the game of softball and a unique opportunity for a lot of these young ladies

to influence a lot of young people in how to play sports right, how to do the right thing

on the field, have fun, camaraderie, teamwork.

But there are many women out there who are very open about their faith as well.

You saw that with a couple of the USCLA players.

You saw that with a majority of the Oklahoma Sooners softball team.
