“From Olympic Dreams to Eternal Joy”: Sarah Sponcil on Proverbs 3, Identity, & Surrender
In this powerful episode of the Athlete Disciples Podcast, I sit down with Olympic volleyball player Sarah Sponcil to explore Proverbs 3:5–12 and the life-altering transformation she experienced when she traded fame for faith.
We dive deep into:
• What it really means to trust in the Lord
• Why chasing success leaves us empty
• The tension of stepping away from the sport you love
• How God lovingly disciplines those He calls His own
• Sarah’s honest, inspiring testimony of surrendering to Jesus after reaching the top of her sport
📖 Scripture Focus: Proverbs 3:5–12
🗣️ Versions: CSB + Amplified Classic
🎙️ Format: Discovery Bible Study + Testimony + Real Talk
Sarah shares how God met her at the peak of her volleyball career—right after the Olympics—and revealed a deeper calling. This conversation is raw, relatable, and full of encouragement for any athlete, coach, or parent trying to find purpose beyond performance.
