Faith stories.
Fresh every week.

Stories across a wider field.

From the speedway to the ice rink, the pickleball court, the sand, and the bobsled track, this week’s additions widen the view of faith in sport. Racing and pickleball make their first appearance in the directory, while the athletes bring their own accounts of trust, identity, and purpose.

The stories share a thread that runs deeper than results. Gigi Marvin’s profile describes an identity anchored in Christ rather than Olympic medals. Christian Alshon speaks about placing God and family ahead of his professional career. Lavar Scott’s path into national racing shows how faith can steady an athlete through doubt and transition.

Bella Scherfenberg connects her beach volleyball ambitions to a purpose beyond personal success, while Jadin O’Brien describes faith through hardship and a move into bobsled. Together, their testimonies invite readers to look past the score and meet the person behind it.
