Episode Details

In this episode, I sit down with Tanner Kim and Sean Croker, two college seniors from the University of Tennessee who founded The League of Angels, a baseball program for kids with special needs. What started as a small weekend event for 30 people has exploded to serving nearly 900 individuals in just one year. These young entrepreneurs share how they balance college life, future career plans, and running a nonprofit while living on "the Lord's timing." Tanner reveals the moment in church when he felt called to start this organization despite having no prior connection to the special needs community, and Sean explains how a coffee meeting turned into a life-changing partnership. They share powerful stories about watching participants hit their first home runs and seeing volunteers' perspectives completely transformed. We also dig into the challenges of fundraising, the pressure young people face to have everything figured out, and how to move forward in faith while actively pursuing your calling. This conversation is packed with wisdom for anyone questioning their next steps or looking to make an impact, regardless of their experience or resources.
