Turn Your Season Around with Darryl Strawberry

I grew up in a home where the TV was always tuned into sports, and Darryl Strawberry was a very familiar name. In the 80s and 90s, Daryl made the news often, both with his amazing sports skills and his struggles with addiction. Darryl reached the lowest in lowest when he was imprisoned for violating probation and possession of cocaine. And when he came to the end of himself, Darryl found Jesus.

While many in our world strive for fame and money, Darryl is quick to share that only true satisfaction can be found in a relationship with Jesus. In this podcast, Darryl shares what God has done in his life and how God brought reconciliation with his father in an amazing way. There’s also a personal story that I surprised Draryl with. You’re going to love hearing from Darryl’s heart.

Who is Darryl Strawberry?

Darryl Strawberry is described as a baseball legend by many who have been dazzled by the dynamics of his game. His many accomplishments in the major leagues include four World Series titles, eight All-Star Game appearances, and a nomination to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2004. He has earned the legendary nicknames and phrases of one of the most feared homerun hitters in the game of baseball: Straw’s Sweet Swing, Strawberry’s Field Forever, and The Legendary Straw Man!

Though Darryl was extremely successful in his career, his personal life was plagued with addictions, abuse, divorces, cancer, jail time, and other issues. Darryl finally found true redemption and restoration in Jesus Christ.

Today, Darryl’s purpose and passion is serving the Lord Jesus Christ by traveling the country, speaking a message of hope and restoration through the power of the gospel.

He is the author of numerous books, including the New York Times bestseller, Straw: Finding My Way (with John Strausbaugh), Don’t Give Up on Me: Shining Light on Addiction with Darryl Strawberry (with Shawn Powell), and The Imperfect Marriage: Help for Those Who Think It’s Over with his wife, Tracy Strawberry. In 2011 Darryl and Tracy founded Strawberry Ministries, and they use their global reach to restore the multitudes through spiritual and practical life applications.
