“There’s no crying in baseball!” Or is there? In this fun and heartfelt episode of *Family Vision*, Rob and Amy Rienow kick off a short series on parenting, faith, and America’s favorite pastime—baseball.

With more than 50 seasons of family baseball experience between their four boys (and one softball season with Millie), the Rienows share powerful stories from the field—both the wins and the tear-filled losses. Learn how baseball is more than just a sport. It’s a training ground for character, parenting, perseverance, and faith.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

- Why baseball often leads to more tears than other sports

- How to coach kids through failure with encouragement and grace

- The difference between praising achievement vs. praising diligence

- Why sports provide powerful ministry and discipleship opportunities

- How “ancient sayings” from Proverbs can shape a team’s heart and attitude
