Speak from the Heart EP. 26 | Levi "Chevy" McAllister

Baseball is a game built around failure. Slumps, pressure, self-doubt, and expectations can either break you or shape you — and learning how to respond mentally is just as important as physical ability.In this episode of Speak From the Heart, I sit down with Levi “Chevy” McAllister, catcher at UAlbany and founder of Block and Recover Co., a faith-based performance and wellness brand centered around mental resilience, identity, and faith. Chevy opens up about his journey from New Hampshire to Division I baseball, transferring from UConn to UAlbany, and learning how to stay grounded through both success and adversity.We talk about the mental side of baseball, his “Block and Recover” mindset, the meaning behind his “snap and clap” approach, and how his relationship with Christ transformed the way he handles pressure, failure, and identity as an athlete.If you’ve ever struggled mentally in sports…If you’ve ever tied your worth to performance…If you’ve ever needed peace in the middle of pressure and expectations…This episode is for you.📖 “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” — Romans 12:2📖 “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” — 1 Peter 5:7If this encouraged you, subscribe, share with someone who needs it, and let me know your thoughts in the comments.Hopefully this conversation Speaks to your Heart. ❤️Listen to Speak from the Heart on ANY platform!Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7Bo6PGSuZUTKDXaJDAIrvc?si=c132ba80d8b745b6&nd=1&dlsi=7141eaa14ba14d0dApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/speak-from-the-heart/id1860487088#SpeakFromTheHeart #LeviMcAllister #BlockAndRecover #FaithAndBaseball #ChristianAthletes #MentalPerformance #IdentityInChrist #FaithOverFear #CollegeBaseball #TrustGod #ChristianPodcast #BaseballMentality #HopeInChrist #FaithJourney

Speak from the Heart EP. 23 | Big Time Lies

In this episode of Speak From The Heart, I talk about the “Big Time Lies” we often believe about ourselves—and how they quietly shape the way we live, think, and chase success.From feeling like we are what we feel, what people say about us, or even what we do, it’s easy to get caught in a cycle of performance, comparison, and constant approval-seeking. But when we start building our identity on the opinions of the world, it leaves us empty and never satisfied.This episode explores the truth behind those lies, what Scripture says about identity, and how a performance-driven mindset can slowly lead us away from who we were really created to be. Instead of chasing validation, we’re invited into something deeper—an identity that is received, not achieved.If you’ve ever felt like you’re not enough, constantly comparing yourself, or striving to prove your worth, this episode is for you.It’s time to stop chasing identity… and start living from it. You are already who God says you are. ❤️Listen to Speak From The Heart on ANY platform!Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7Bo6PGSuZUTKDXaJDAIrvc?si=c132ba80d8b745b6&nd=1&dlsi=7141eaa14ba14d0dApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/speak-from-the-heart/id1860487088#Faith #IdentityInChrist #MindsetShift #Truth #SpiritualGrowth #Purpose #SelfWorth #ChristianLiving #GrowthMindset #RealTalk #SpeakFromTheHeart #PodcastClips #NewEpisode #StayRooted #HeartCheck
