Episode #232 - Olympian Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone on Running from Fear to Faith

In today’s episode of The Conversation, Adam sits down with Olympic Gold Medalist and 400m hurdle World Record holder, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone. 

Sydney entered the track & field world’s spotlight when she qualified for the Rio Olympics at only 16 years old, an accomplishment that was fueled heavily by fear.

Sydney and Adam discuss the hurdles we face in life.

For Sydney the obstacles have included perfectionism, anxiety and constant feelings about her identity and whether she measures up.

Sydney shares so candidly about her identity being tied up in whether she won or lost…. Until God transformed her life, helped her conquer her fears and she found her true identity in Him.

Specifically if fear, perfectionism, & anxiety is a part of your story, don’t miss this conversation.
