ot us one I built you a new football stadium what'd you do during that nothing you know what this coach has that you don't a winning record so don't tell me how to do my job and I won't take away yours I will get him to dial it down okay thank you principal Rogers you have something to say no good look I have a school district to run please someone get Rick some breakfast he's obviously starving for attention jokes who's hungry but you never ask you win one one day buddy [Music] foreign what are
you doing what's this doing in my house it's for me dad mom was a Christian don't you dare this is a fantasy no it's not it's real God is real Coach Brooks tell you that bothered to tell him that your mom died thinking this would save her I miss her too Dad but I know Mom is in heaven and I'm gonna see her one day [Music] yeah you keep believing that [Music] what gives you the right unlike that hillbilly town you come from people here keep their faith to themselves and your job description at t
he school reads coach not pastor sir my players make these decisions on their own yeah well I think they have a little help you can believe what you want but when you build character in the young men naturally they search for the source and Ryan found it you know what it's what I believe that matters and I believe you're here to win baseball games and that is it unless you're doing that you are of no use to me and my son my son wasn't searching for anything until I brought you here and now I reg
ret it and that that religious running thing you do that ends now you got it look you want to keep your job you will keep that out of my house foreign surprise what are you doing home cancel practice you cancel practice coach Brooks doesn't cancel practice just say that Mr Jameson didn't appreciate the gift oh yeah what I did on that field the other night didn't help either serious Jess what do you mean he said I can't run the bases anymore what's he gonna do fire you come on he can't fire you f
or that yeah he can Jess you weren't there he didn't see the rage in his eyes this is not the kind of man who needs a good reason it's out of my control just like everything else in my life what are you talking about what's going on just forget about it no you talk to me you want to talk yes I feel like I'm being forced to choose here forced to choose between providing for my family and doing what God called me to do and I never thought that those two things would combat with one another but the
y are and every time every time in my life that I feel like I get close to something or someone it gets Stripped Away From Me I get that this game that you love you don't get to play it this other half of you that you're supposed to be living this life with isn't here it it's a lot of loss but you haven't lost me here Luke we're here you are not forsaken you heard about this right now okay honey this is bigger than baseball right yeah it's bigger than you it's bigger than winning this whole town
is looking at you this means something Luke you know what you're gonna run those faces yeah you are not because of defiance not because of tradition because that's what God called you to do Luke Brooks it's not that simple [Music] I think you've got some things in your life that you need to surrender [Music] come here team [Music] thank you [Music] [Music] jeez same I got a heart condition now let the light shine cops let it shine bright coach we're ready hold on a sec coach never told me you c
oach son you never asked I don't think coach Brooks has done anything to Warrant termination he gave my son a Bible not to mention the spectacle from the other night what I heard he was running around the field talking to himself I'm sure he was quoting some sort of religious jargon it's not appropriate all right look let's just take a breath here for a second now first off there is already a city ordinance that establishes that what he's doing is illegal so listen let's just show the coach the

d on you and thrown you away that don't mean that God's throwing you away just because you feel like you've been ripped apart matter to him he wants to give you a purpose even in a place like this thank you God can put you back together Tony [Music] good morning Luke good morning okay well uh how are you getting along in here circumstances okay I guess so what brings you in here Ted I'd like to introduce you to my very good friend Cindy Dorman who also happens to be a very good civil rights atto
rney one of the best I'd say thank you so I think we have a really good case here yeah what case is that we can actually challenge the city's ordinance and probably win but the school board hasn't confirmed your employment status so I need to know did Mr Jameson terminate you look I appreciate what you're all trying to do here but I ain't seen anybody listen if we don't make a stand now you think you're the last person that's going to be in this situation why am I the first I mean what's special
about me Ted why can't I just do my job and be who I am okay um your bail is set at fifteen thousand dollars but only if you're willing to comply with the city's ordinance I don't have 15 grand don't worry about that I'll get you home to your family my family Ted I move my family here thinking it was God's will and all I've been able to do is offend a bunch of people people some people yes God maybe not so much God has a funny way of doing things you put Moses in a basket in order to put him in
the palace he put David in front of a giant in order to make him King now these men were what's the word I'm trying to think of disruptors that's what they were they were disruptors you know what you our disruptor you've been able to do things here that nobody has been able to do and I'm not talking about winning ball games and what if listen to them just what if God's provision for your whole life has brought you to this place to disrupt this moment I want to believe that this is God's provisi
on can't wait to see what's next you share what you're all trying to do serious but that's true Ted God's the one who got me in here it's like God be the one to get me out I ain't taking your money and I ain't seeing anybody you were told to make coach Brooks aware of the ordinance and that we would monitor the situation do you remember that conversation I understand you're upset but coach Brooks gave me no choice the mayor admitted that your friend the police chief may have been a little overze
alous and then to make matters worse I have to call around and find out that you fired coach Brooks coach Brooks was blatantly pushing his beliefs on this team and on my son and he was warned just like this board directed and he defied me our phones are ringing non-stop people are protesting we even have a threat of a lawsuit it's nothing that I can't fix this board has unanimously decided to terminate your employment effective immediately come on Jay and she think that's a bit extreme do you ha
ve any idea how much time and money it's going to take to clean up your mess save yourself further embarrassment and submit your resignation to this board by the end of the day how much time I've spent all Mr Jameson yeah let's look here you are so predictable and you look disgusting I really don't care what you think I need to shut up you know why deals off you're a little war with God it cost me Millions you morons oh yeah coach is shoving God down my son's throat really seriously why don't yo

coach thanks coach I love him [Music] foreign why silly thing like running the bases we're going to jail over that myself sometimes see my twin brother and I we love this game it oh I consumed this it was supposed to be our future and our final game together he he hit a triple and drove me in standing right about there as I watched him round third base but he never made it home so I thought he died on the field that day and my life instantly changed see the same disease that killed my brother w
as passed on to me and I my baseball future was over and I became so angry with a God that I wasn't even sure was real anymore one day on a ball field just like this where I thought everything had been taken away from me God gave this game back to me when this time it wasn't for my glory it was for his and in that I I saw God's plane of redemption played out in my life and this journey has shown me one simple thing and that is that because of Jesus Christ there is hope hope beyond my loss hope b
eyond my crushed dreams and my failures and that same hope is available to each and every one of you there is a savior who will fight for you he desires you he loves you more than you will ever be able to comprehend he gave his life for you and once you've experienced that love that overwhelming love it will cause you to do the craziest things in this life like running the bases [Music] I know that that offends some of you foreign but after everything I've gone through in my life [Music] I will
not stay silent because what we do now will echo on into eternity see folks I'm convinced that the problem with our society is not the growing presence of evil but it is the growing absence of God's people I mean think about what it would look like if we chose to forgive rather than condemn or care about someone's Soul more than the temporal aspects of this life or foreign or if we were willing to choose to take a stand in our conviction rather than live in fear of our persecution it's as long a
s there is a heart beating in my chest I will honor God on and off this field [Music] I will lead these young men to become more like their creator and I will run the bases [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Applause] get out of my way Dad I'm running these bases [Music] I love you son I love you too [Music] go ahead come on guys let's go [Music] I forgive you [Music] foreign [Music] all right [Applause] bring it in hold up lead us out little man yes sir [Applause] as you can see God's planes are
