I watch a lot of superhero movies. Superman, Batman, Black Widow, the Hulk, Captain Marvel.
The hero’s journey always has a common thread of pain. The difference between the hero and the villain is what they chose to do with that pain and their great strength.
The Darryl Strawberry story has been shared under a microscope. The world championships and the seedy drug dens that led to suspensions.
But Darryl’s story didn’t start or end there. Darryl shares the domestic violence in his childhood home and the physical abuse of his father growing up. He decided that he would overcome the message of his father, "that Darryl would never become anything of worth or substance," by setting his sights on baseball as an outlet and place where he could excel.
Becoming a celebrity athlete took Darryl from poverty to the "golden child" of sports. But the money, women and drugs wouldn't fill the brokenness and emptiness of his abusive, absent father.
While raising Darryl and his five siblings, Darryl's mom invested in him, and her unconditional care and faithfulness instilled the character that would later help Darryl rise above the addictions that consumed his life. The unconditional love of his mom and his wife gave him hope to get clean and share the Source of his metamorphosis. Listen in to share part one of his origin story.
