Summary

My name is Darryl Strawberry, and for years I lived for fame and wealth in Major League Baseball. Yet beneath the victories and headlines, I was torn by father wounds, crippled by drug addiction, and eventually confronted colon cancer twice. My lifestyle and choices led me to prison and nearly cost me everything. But when I finally hit rock bottom and fully surrendered to Jesus Christ, my life took a miraculous turn. I experienced genuine freedom, forgave my father, paid off my debts, and found a renewed purpose—helping others discover the same hope in Christ. Today, my wife Tracy and I serve the Lord by sharing the Gospel nationwide, including supporting children with autism through our foundation. If God could redeem and transform me, He can do the same for you.
