Episode 4: Authority as an Athlete

What if God sent you to your school, team, city, or even league for more than your sport?

In this episode of The Locker Room Podcast, Mya Kay challenges female athletes to think beyond playing time, statistics, and performance by recognizing the spiritual authority they carry as disciples of Christ.
