Josh Hong | Building a Firm Foundation Physically and Spiritually
The FAITH + FITNESS Podcast by FAITH RXD
Josh Hong is an athlete that broke onto the competitive CrossFit scene at the Granite Games this year and made a huge impression on our staff. He is sold out for Christ and unashamedly lives out his faith. There was a pivotal moment during the snatch event where things didn’t go the way he planned, and he dropped to his knees afterwards to surrender the moment to the Lord and learn from it.

Delaney Wade | Competing with Type 1 Diabetes is a Good Thing
The FAITH + FITNESS Podcast by FAITH RXD
On this episode of the podcast we’re talking with CrossFit Games Teen competitor Delaney Wade. On February 1, 2019, Delaney was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. But that didn’t stop her from reaching the highest level of our sport, the CrossFit Games, in 2021. Not many people would have the grace or perspective that Delaney has at only 16. In her eyes, the presence of Type 1 Diabetes in her life is a good thing and she praise God for the ways he’s used it to bless others. We wish we had kept recording, because after we were done, Lindsey and Delaney continued discussing life...

All we do at FAITH RXD is possible because of God, first, second because of our incredible volunteers, and in a major way it is also because of our donors. We would ask you to pray about partnering with us in what God is doing by becoming a monthly donor. Seriously, first pray about it. Whether it is $5, $50, $500 or some other amount, it is all used and helps accomplish the mission. If God is leading you to give, you can do that at www.faithrxd.org/donate
