Welcome to Season 13 of the Abounding Faith for Today podcast! 

With the 2026 Winter Olympics now underway, it’s got me thinking of my Olympiac Daze. I’m sharing a few lessons I learned during my figure skating days in Episode 83.

As the world once again comes together for friendly but fierce sports competition at this year’s Winter Olympics, my evangelistic and exhorter heart is ready to burst! 

I’m thrilled to share a few thoughts from my trips to a Summer and Winter Games and Bible verses about how God LOVES the Nations in Episode 84.
