Billy Sunday
How Can I Apply This To My Life
- Was a very famous evangelist
- Also a famous baseball player
I can apply this to my life by trying to be more of what God wants. He used Billy in very good ways like going out in many different environments. I can be as strong and as Christ like as him. Billy has inspired me to be myself, and not be something that I'm not. Billy wasn't scared to show his faith ti other people and I want to be that way too.
