On this episode, I have a conversation with Katie Cousins. Katie is a professional soccer player who plays for NWSL and Icelandic Teams. She was a two-time All-American at the University of Tennessee, Gatorade Player of the Year, and part of the U20 Women's World Cup Team. Katie's resume is pretty impressive, but to me the most impressive thing about her is her commitment to follow Christ even through major public ridicule and persecution. We talk about her upbringing - where her work ethic came from - how she came to faith in Christ - spiritual influences - her soccer career - facing public ridicule/persecution for her faith - hoping to hunt reindeer in Iceland - and how polar bears randomly show up! Katie recently published her first book, "Just Be Faithful" - Because Following Jesus is Worth It! - Amazon link - https://amzn.to/41v2f3h In the off-season, Katie serves at Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters in the mountains of NC. - https://swoutfitters.com Katie on Instagram - http://instagram.com/ktcuz0925 Katie on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/katie.p.cousins - - - Connect with Jason George: Email: jason@narrowtrail.com Website: http://narrowtrail.com Facebook: http://facebook.com/grizpodcast LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-george-6a746729/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@grizpodcast - - - Join our closed Facebook group for Christian men - The GRIZ Tribe: https://www.facebook.com/groups/griztribe - - - Consider one-on-one online coaching with Jason or joining one of our online support/recovery groups for men (Climb Teams). http://narrowtrail.com - - - Give to our ministry with a one-time or monthly recurring donation to help us do what we do … https://giving.myamplify.io//app/giving/narrowtrail Or simply text the word "give" to 301.888.6860 - - - Please leave a rating and review wherever you listen to the GRIZ.
