At Heralds of Our Passion (H.O.O.P.), basketball is more than a game; it’s a reminder of purpose and a way to express what God has placed inside us.

“My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.”
Luke 1:46–47
There are moments in life when joy feels obvious, and others when it feels earned only after a long grind. Luke 1 places us in a moment that doesn’t wait for circumstances to improve. Mary rejoices before the full story unfolds. Before…
