Faith Accessory Work | Three Key Things for Living Out Our Faith
In this episode, we sit down with Interim Executive Director, Jadi Rodriguez, True Strength Coach, Anthony Davis, and Living Word Houma Pastor, Ben Bufkin. We compare the Elite CrossFit Athletes journey to that of the Christian walk and what it means for us to live out our faith in a way that mirrors the dedication and performance of an elite athlete. Ben shares a simple but profound definition of what that looks like that we then spend the rest of the episode teasing out.

Josh Hong | Building a Firm Foundation Physically and Spiritually
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.

Dan Bailey | Living a Faithful Life in Fitness
We’re excited to have Dan Bailey back on the podcast. We catch up on life and have a transparent conversation about finally making it back to the 2021 CrossFit Games after fighting back from injury, then testing positive for COVID before the first event. We talk about his recent marriage to All American Gymnast and USAW National Champ, Alex LaChance. We also dig in to what it’s been like to maintain his beliefs around sex and marriage in an environment where the world sees his convictions as weird and unnecessary.

Delaney Wade | Competing with Type 1 Diabetes is a Good Thing
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 and their relationships with the Lord. Delaney shared, “I want to be passionate about living and about who he made me to be. I hope I always keep my eyes open and can see the small ways he works in life every day… even small things like crying at a sunrise.” She’s a special young woman, and we hope you enjoy the episode.

Anthony Davis | Everything Changed at Granite Games
FAITH RXD Sponsored Athlete, Anthony Davis, competed at the Granite Games a few weeks ago. It was a pivotal event for Anthony as an athlete and affirmed many things the Lord has been pushing him towards, but that he had not fully wrapped his mind around yet. We have a great conversation about the weekend, how God has used it, and what the future holds for Anthony and his competitive career. We’re excited for it, and excited to continue supporting him in his journey to the Games, but more importantly, his journey to use the gifts God’s given him to create a platform that Anthony can proclaim Christ and point people to the ultimate source of strength and salvation.

On her website, Tiffany shares, “I weighed 300 pounds when God called me to work in the fitness industry, and even though my camera roll is now filled with some pretty unbelievable before and after photos, the transformation that God wanted to accomplish in my life had nothing to do with numbers on the scale.” We talk about what that transformation journey has looked like for her, and how she has chosen to step into the opportunities God has placed before her regardless of how terrifying they may feel in the moment.

Isaac Gonzalez | When Deliverance is Not Automatic
Isaac will tell you, he’s just a regular guy, but a regular guy that is facing something that is all to common- anxiety. His battle has been debilitating at times, but because of the Lord, he’s found victory in living with it. He’s written a book called The Exodus Problem that shares his journey and the encouragement he’s leaned on in Scripture and his community. His desire is for this book to encourage others in a similar situation in life. In his book he shares: “Deliverance is not automatic, and it doesn’t come easily. I was asking God to deliver me from a major stronghold in my life, and I also had it all worked out in my head just how God was going to deliver me. Images of Jesus healing the lame, causing the blind to see, and raising people from the dead filled my mind, and I began to see myself just waking up one day and everything is gone. The tormenting anxious thoughts, the dark clouds of depression I would feel on and off every day, and the debilitating pain, everything…just gone! As convenient as that would have been, it just didn’t work out that way for me. My desire to be delivered required me to take steps of faith that were beyond my comfort zone. It required me to push myself harder and to go further than I was capable of going. It was a journey that was impossible for me to complete on my own strength, but it wasn’t impossible for God.” Our next True Strength Camp is happening in Waukesha, WI!

Hannah Hardy | A Genuine Love for the Sport
In this episode, we’re talking to 2021 CrossFit Games Team CrossFit Westchase member, Hannah Hardy. Hannah has a genuine love for the sport, for how CrossFit positively impacts people’s lives, and how it compliments her current occupation as a Chiropractic Intern. We dive in to how her relationship with the Lord is the reason why she’s able to combat the thoughts that still linger from a past eating disorder, how life is better now than the dream she had for herself in high school, and how competing in the Florida Grid League compares to competing at the CrossFit Games.

Anthony Davis | A Call to Mercy
Anthony Davis competed this past weekend in the Individual Elite Division of Wodapalooza. He is not new to the world of competitive CrossFit as he competed at the CrossFit Games in 2017 with Timberwolf CrossFit where they finished 8th place. He’s also set the record for the heaviest Snatch in a live competition- twice. But none of that is as impressive as his heart for the Lord, or his commitment to being a man of character and integrity. We dive in to how he came to know the Lord, and the way it has made a dramatic change in his life. We don’t want to spoil anything, but he gets real about a devastating porn addiction and the effects of forgiveness in his family. 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 are in a season of giving and 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.

JCruz Gudino | “I Can’t Feel My Legs”
Today, we’re going back to the CrossFit Games to an interview we did with Adaptive Athlete JCruz Gudino. We hear his incredible story of how his life changed in 2019, but he fully believes it’s because God had bigger plans for him than he had for himself- and this is how God wanted to do it. He lives with a rare condition that leaves him unable to feel his legs, yet, he can walk.
