Now he and John are teaching others what Kevin learned so that readers can also apply the lessons and live life to the fullest as Jesus promised in John 10:10. Using a baseball diamond as an analogy for living by God\'s pattern, Kevin teaches an idea that\'s simple enough to communicate to a child, yet has enough depth to carry the truths to adults.
Each base on a baseball diamond represents God\'s desired pattern for life: Connection with God, Character, Community, and Competence. The breakdown occurs because most people run the bases backwards. In our performance-based culture, they run straight to third base (Competence), focusing on performance to the detriment of relationships, character, and their connection with God.
