In this powerful episode of the Athlete Disciples Podcast, Christian sits down with University of Arkansas track athlete Jayda Gibson to study James 1:2–4 and discuss how God uses trials to build endurance, purpose, and spiritual maturity.
Jayda shares her incredible story of suffering a career-pausing foot fracture, then getting hit by a car just six days later. Her ankle was run over — and yet God protected, healed, and refined her through it all. From wrestling with identity and doubt to rediscovering peace, confidence, and purpose in Christ, her testimony is a reminder that God does not waste pain.
🎙 What you'll hear:
How to count it all joy through injury and setbacks
Finding spiritual strength when your body gives out
When comparison, fear, and pride attack your confidence
The importance of fellowship, intercession, and staying in the Word
Jada’s comeback story and how faith transformed her athletic journey
🔥 Verse of the Day: James 1:2–4
