Yeah, there's a few times where baseball has broke me in half and, you know, you get back

and you could do this or that and for me it was go to the Lord and, you know, I'm able

to hang my head on that and I come back the next day and I feel fresh, I feel new again.

Welcome to the Jesus Calling Podcast.

When you feel broken and lost and the life you wanted seems far from reach, there's

someone you can turn to.

God is just a prayer away and no matter where you are or what life circumstance has laid

you low, you can call his name.

He listens, he cares, he's there for you always.

Our guests this week have had times in their lives of complete brokenness and they found

that when they whispered a prayer up to heaven, peace, comfort and restoration was never too

far to follow.

We're talking with baseball pitcher Daniel Ponce de Leon and musician and founder of Tipping

Point Artist Wellness, Lanny West.

Let's start with Daniel's story.

My name is Daniel Ponce de Leon and I'm from Lomarada, California.

I grew up there 18 years of my life until I went to college to bounce around at four

different colleges and ended up signing with the St. Louis Cardinals in 2014 and made it

to the big leagues in 2018.

Growing up in Lomarada, California, I played three sports growing up.

My dad coached me in most of them, football, basketball and baseball and my passion was

always with football.
