What is Devout Dugout?

Devout Dugout is a short-form documentary series highlighting the stories of collegiate softball athletes whose lives are transformed by their faith in Jesus. This series captures the moments beyond the box scores—the quiet prayers, the leadership in the dugout, the faith that rises under pressure, and the testimonies that shape the field and the world around them.

Our goal is simple:
To tell authentic, God-honoring stories of athletes who live out their faith with courage.

Why Softball?

Softball is fast, gritty, and emotional—just like real faith journeys. The dugout is where encouragement happens, where teammates lift each other up, and where real character is revealed.

Devout Dugout captures that spirit.
Athletes. Teammates. Leaders. Believers.

What makes this series different?

High-quality documentary storytelling in short, impactful episodes.

• Athlete-centered narratives—their voice, their journey, their faith.

• Faith-first perspective with zero compromise.

• Completely free for the athlete.

• Produced with care, prayer, and excellence.

You don’t need a perfect story. You don’t need to be a starter.
You just need a real walk with Jesus and the courage to share it.
