Shay Knighten is a former college softball player with the Oklahoma Sooners. Known as "Big Play Shay" during her time at OU, Knighten won two WCWS National Championships and was the 2017 Big 12 Player of the Year and the 2017 WCWS Most Outstanding Player.

Today on the podcast, we talk to Shay about her journey to Jesus, the difference between Shay the softball player and Shay the person, why community has been so integral for her after recovering from two knee surgeries, and her memories after hitting clutch home runs of the 2017 and 2019 WCWS. --- If you enjoyed this podcast with Shay, you'll love these conversations as well: – Patty Gasso, Oklahoma Head Softball Coach – Janie Reed, USA Softball Player/VP of Church on the Dirt – Sydney Romero, Oklahoma Sooner All-American Softball Player
