Making Payroll and Finding Providence

After baseball, a newly married man must learn how to build a livelihood, lead a family, and trust providence when effort offers no guarantee of outcome.

A fictional installment in the Colt Jennings series, inspired by true events and written to stand on its own while building the larger universe.

Synopsis

With professional baseball behind him, Colt Jennings enters an arena with no scoreboard and no predictable season: earning a living.

Corporate work gives way to the restless discipline of building businesses, finding partners, solving problems, and carrying the responsibility of making payroll. At the same time, a young marriage is finding its footing and a family is taking shape.

Guided by mentors, hard-earned mistakes, and a deepening faith, Colt begins to understand that providence rarely arrives on schedule. This is the bridge between athlete and entrepreneur — a warmer, more intimate installment about responsibility, marriage, family, and the formation of a man learning to carry what has been entrusted to him.

Why It Works

The business details are credible, but the emotional center is marriage, family, and the formation of a man learning to carry what has been entrusted to him.
