USA Divers Tell NBC Reporter They Won Silver Medals Thanks to Their 'Identity in Christ'
A golden moment took place alongside the Rio Olympic diving boards Monday night. The Chinese team of Chen Aisen and Lin Yue may have taken first place, but U.S. divers David Boudia and Steele Johnson stole the spotlight in their NBC interview by giving all the glory to God after their silver medal-winning performance.
Johnson, who also identifies as a Christian, has a similarly impactful story about his reliance on God. When he was 12, he almost died doing the sport he loves, hitting his head on a concrete platform. He has since used the accident to fuel him. "God kept me alive and He is still giving me the ability to do what I do,” he has said about the near fatal fall.
In an Olympic Games, it can be easy to get lost in one's own talent and fame. Kudos to Boudia and Johnson for keeping the right perspective....
