Beyond the Huddle
Tuesday, March 3, 2026
In this episode of Beyond the Huddle, Zach sits down with longtime Arkansas Travelers chaplain Lance Kaufman to talk baseball, identity, and what it looks like to disciple professional athletes in the grind of minor league baseball.
From clubhouse conversations to chapel services, they unpack how the gospel shifts players from working for their identity to living from it. They share stories from the Arkansas Travelers, reflect on the pressure of performance, and discuss why community is essential — even in a crowded clubhouse.
Plus: hot dogs vs. nachos, high socks vs. long pants, and what your walk-up song says about you.
Whether you're an athlete, coach, or simply navigating performance-driven pressure in your own life, this episode is a reminder that your value isn't found in a stat line — it's found in Christ.
