In this episode, Olympic sprinter and Christian mentor Ronnie Baker addresses the challenges athletes face during the waiting periods of their careers. Drawing on his own experiences, Ronnie emphasizes that waiting is not a punishment but a time for preparation and refinement. He encourages athletes to commit to long-term goals despite not seeing immediate results, and to reframe their mindsets from feeling held back to being built up. By using biblical examples and parables, he explains how faithfulness in unseen seasons leads to greater responsibilities and eternal rewards. Ronnie provides practical steps for athletes to utilize their waiting periods effectively and underscores the importance of trusting God's timing.
