About this episode
From Mets superstar to minister.
Former MLB All-Star and 1986 World Series champion Darryl Strawberry, the former Mets franchise home run king, whose record stood for 37 years, joins David A.R. White (God’s Not Dead, Pure Flix) for a powerful, honest, and inspiring episode of The White House Pod – Dare to Dream!
Darryl opens up about:
The highs of the 1986 Mets, All-Star seasons, and World Series rings with the Yankees
The hard years: addiction, cancer, jail, a heart attack, and losing control of a once-in-a-generation career
How he found Christ, got clean, and became an ordained minister
His new book, Another Life: Discovering the Healing Power of Purpose on My Long Journey from Player to Preacher
Preaching in churches, prisons, schools, and hospitals, and why he says your story isn’t over
Family, restoration, and daring to dream a second life
If you grew up watching the Mets, love baseball history, or need a real testimony of redemption, this episode hits different.
