## Resource

Mark Viviano welcomes Baltimore Orioles pitcher Cade Povich for a heartfelt conversation about faith, baseball and purpose. Preparing for his third Major League season with the Baltimore Orioles, Povich reflects on a life-changing milestone: his reception last year into the Catholic Church at age 25. Povich shares how his journey began with childhood curiosity, deepened in Catholic high school theology classes and matured amid the pressures of professional baseball. Encouraged by teammates, his wife’s faith and guidance from a priest, he completed months of formation during the grind of the MLB season. The day after his baptism, he was back on the mound for a Major League game. Povich also discusses the growing Christian fellowship within clubhouses across baseball and why he openly shares his faith to inspire others.
