The Volunteer Ministry Center Presents

CARRY THE TORCH KNOXVILLE

A Benefit Luncheon Featuring Darryl Strawberry, Baseball Legend, Author, and Minister

NOVEMBER 14, 2023

Strawberry's life story is proof that you can overcome life's adversities one decision, one step at a time. It's time to Turn Your Season Around.

Darryl Strawberry has seen it all--the highs and lows of an intense career as a Major League Baseball all-star, drug addiction, marriage challenges, prison time, and battles with cancer. In his book, Turn Your Season Around, with honesty and transparency, Strawberry shares the same foundational principles that transformed his life from the inside out--the power of prayer, cultivating healthy friendships, weathering trials without losing heart, refreshing the way you think, and letting God change your life for good.

Strawberry weaves compelling stories from his own life with those of others he met through his speaking and ministry work across the nation. With scriptural insights and real-life examples, Strawberry celebrates the miracles God works in us for healing, cleansing, and new beginnings.
