What happens when a man at the top of the world is called to lay it all down?
Lucas Shepherd—MVP, fan favorite, and millionaire athlete—had everything he thought mattered… until God spoke. In a single, undeniable moment, Lucas is thrust from the bright lights of stadiums into the shadows of the supernatural. What follows is a breathtaking collision of two realms: the spiritual and the physical, where angels walk beside men, demons are confronted face-to-face, and obedience becomes a matter of life and death.
Through victories and betrayals, divine visions and public scandals, Lucas learns that following God’s plan isn’t safe, comfortable, or easy—but it is always worth it. Relationships are tested—his steadfast wife Evette, loyal friend Teddy, and mysterious ally Brahma standing with him—while powerful enemies in the press, sports world, and unseen spiritual realm rise to take him down.
Inspired by the Bible’s promise that “Whoever loses their life for My sake will find it,” this is the story of a man who traded his earthly success for a heavenly calling… and discovered that the real battle is fought where most people never think to look.
First Base Ball will challenge the way you see faith, purpose, and the very world around you.
