I can't believe I'm gonna say this, but the entire 2023 Sooners woman softball season is probably one of the greatest sermons I've heard. Congrats ladies.

Well said.
Multiple National Championships, best friends, coach Gasso and future husband but her main accoplishment was "the Lord has given me a platform to shine a light that the world tries to dim." Can that statement be topped?

Yes. Jesus Christ is the light of the world that the world can never dim. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it. John 1:5

❤. From a Sooner fan.
So well spoken and such a wonderful role model. I wish there were more young women like her in this world that our little girls could all look up to. Grace of God Lyons ✝
That is what it's all about...thanks for sharing Grace! Oklahoma will miss you!
Found this girl and Oklahoma softball from her bf. Now I just watch Oklahoma softball. I never seen a better softball team in my life.
Amen Grace! You are truly an inspiration to not only young people but to older ones too. May you and Turk have a Blessed life!
Dear Grace, I want to thank you and commend you for that amazing testimony to the greatness of God in your life. There is no doubt in my mind that you have had a significant impact on your team and that God has used you in mighty ways. Praise the Lord that there are young women like you who will stand for the the things of the Lord. God bless you as you move on with your life and your pending marriage. You are truly and inspiration on and off the field.

Thank you so much for sharing your faith. Totally awesome. Such a great role model
So amazing to watch these girls winning not only on the field but ultimately in life. Every chance they get they put God first and it has been amazing to watch as they constantly get attacked. The prayer after games, the celebrations, the winning people choose every avenue of attack and they still but God first.
Great job Grace! So proud that you brought Christ into your letter and are using your public platform to minister to the masses. God bless you as you wrap up (win!) hopefully tonight and get ready for your wedding to the Turk-ster.
Love what you and Michael have done to spread the good news of Jesus Christ to the world from a university of Oklahoma athletic platform. You make all of us Sooner fans so proud. God Bless you and Michael’s impending nuptials. I pray God continues to bless both of you and your life together. I will always follow both of your ministries. Thank you for your hard work and commitment to the game and the university! Boomer Sooner!! Good luck tonight!! Go get #7!!!
Amen! This is so beautiful. Praise the Lord!!

Amen. So happy seeing young people give God the glory.
What a strong young woman in her faith. Thank you for being a vessel of Christ and for being such a role model for young athletes in Christ. BATL
Love you sister, sincerely, a Bruin fan.
So awesome to hear this! I applaud you Grace for being "unapologetic" and unashamed to share the Gospel and the joy that you have in Christ. Thank you for sharing! Congratulations on another championship and your accolades. May God continue to bless you in all that He has next for you.
Not sure how this even popped into my suggestions but honored to have watched it. The light in those eyes!
so inspiring to hear these words from Grace! I don't play softball, i play tennis and in a few months will leave to go play college tennis, and i can be reminded that tennis is just something that i do, but I am a child of God, and i pray that i can reach teammates and others who have not heard of Jesus, because no matter the accomplishments that i achieve, matches i win, i cant do any of that without God, and in the end, those things will leave, but I am so glad to be with God forever!
That was outstanding young lady!!!!
There is just no one better than Miss Grace! She is the best person I have never met. I’m so happy for you Grace! Congratulations for the 3peat!
What an incredible young woman. A great mentor that young girls can model themselves after. She puts everything in its proper perspective and is most deserving of the captain’s “C” on her uniform.
Love ya Grace!! I’m so glad you are so vocal about your faith!!! I wish you all the best in the future!!
I am so pleased that you have the strength of character to share your testimony with those around you. I enjoy watching you and your team play, but what I like the most is when the team you play against joins you all in a moment of prayer and thanksgiving after the game. Don't ever dim your light. You are needed.
Thanks. This made my hair raise.He is the way the life and the truth❤

What a powerful testimony! Your name "Grace Lyons" is truly no accident! It is prophetic for what God is doing at this time in history. The righteous are (supposed to be) as bold as LIONS! And GRACE is what makes righteousness attainable. So, the boldness of His remnant is what will deliver the GRACE to this generation! Thank you young lady for your grace and for your "lioness" boldness!! Your obedience has changed the world!
😭thank you for your courage to shine His light!❤
Nice, you came from a great family as well. Taking you to practice and games since a child. Wish I could have had that.
We all need to have the courage to stand up and proclaim God's love the way Grace and her teammates have. May God continue to bless these amazing young women.
Hangang Here?
Beautiful words.
God bless these ladies always 🙏❤
With role models like Grace Lyons I can't help but feel optimistic about America's future despite the current political climate.
That was Beautiful Grace...Thank you Jesus! Go Sooners!!!
