Five Christian Athletes On Team USA To Watch In The 2018 Winter Olympics 

Feb 12, 2018 by Alyssa Duvall  Hello Christian


As the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea continue, Team USA has no shortage of Christian athletes using the event for God's glory. Here are our top five Christian Olympians to watch:

Kelly Clark

Professional snowboarder Kelly Clark is a veteran Olympian bronze- and gold medalist who identifies herself as a "lover of coffee, god and good times." Clark shared with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes in a January interview that she gave her life to Christ in 2004: "My ministry, and what God is doing in my life, is really found in my career in the marketplace."


"I'm in an industry where it's very foreign and it's very counter-cultural," she continued. "I get to love these people really well who would never step foot in a church."

Elana Meyers Taylor

Bronze and silver medalist bobsledder Elana Meyers Taylor is an athlete who believes she isn't just representing her country at the Olympics, but "Christ and what He's done through me."

"I have a responsibility to show His love and show others what He's done for me. It's also freed me up," she said in an interview with Christian Sports Journal published in November 2016. "We're talking about the Olympics. We're talking about trying to win the gold medal. All of these things can be overwhelming."

"But regardless of whether I win a gold medal or never compete again," she continued, "I just have to trust that God has a plan for my life and I'm called to be His representative through the sport and outside of the sport."

Nic Taylor

Elana Meyers Taylor's husband, Nic Taylor, is also an Olympic bobsledder and a devout Christian. In fact, the couple met at a bible study. Nic came to know Christ in 2005 when he survived three separate car accidents. "It shouldn't have taken three, but it took three for me to realize I'm not in control of my life," Nic shared with FCA. "There's nothing I could have done to have walked away from three completely totaled cars. It was all God's doing. He had been there with me the entire time."

David Wise

David Wise, who identifies himself as a "Truth follower" on his Twitter profile, made history in 2014 as the first-ever Olympic champion in Men's Skiing Halfpipe at the Sochi, Russia winter games.

Wise explained in a 2014 interview that faith plays a "huge role" in his work. "I don't have to worry about what's happening or the outside influences as much because I feel like I can trust God, and He's going to see me through," Wise said, reported by CBN. "I can look back on my path and realize that God had a pretty significant part in taking care of me. It takes the pressure off and I can enjoy it."

Maame Biney

Short track speed-skater Maame Biney first started skating when she was 6 and qualified for the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics before she turned 18.

On her Instagram profile, Biney explains that the "smile on my face doesn't mean my life is perfect. It means I appreciate what I have and what God has blessed me with."

After her qualifying win in Utah last December, Biney thanked God first.

"I am so sure that none of this would have happened if it wasn't for him," she wrote. "If God hadn't given my dad the strength to wake up, and take me to practice, I wouldn't be here today. I also want to thank God for giving me the passion to do this."

Teenage Pakistani Christian Beaten To Death By Muslims In Classroom - Will Maule Hello Christian

Teenage Pakistani Christian Beaten To Death By Muslims In Classroom


Sep 05, 2017 by Will Maule  Hello Christian
A horrific story has emerged from Pakistan detailing that a Christian student was beaten to death by Muslim students, simply because he believes in Jesus Christ. "You're a Christian; don't dare sit with us if you want to live," a Muslim student had once told the victim, Sharoon Masih, who was studying at MC Model Boys Government High School in the Vehari area in Punjab, according to the British Pakistani Christian Association, which has reported the killing.
Masih was beaten up by several students on Aug. 27 and died in the classroom. No-one intervened in the killing, and the Head Teacher of the school has now been fired. The prime suspect, a student identified as Muhammad Ahmed Rana, has been arrested.

"My son was a kind-hearted, hard-working and affable boy," the boy's mother said. "He has always been loved by teachers and pupils alike and shared great sorrow that he was being targeted by students at his new school because of his faith."

"Sharoon and I cried every night as he described the daily torture he was subjected to. He only shared details about the violence he was facing. He did not want to upset his father because he had such a caring heart for others."
"The evil boys that hated my child are now refusing to reveal who else was involved in his murder. Nevertheless one day God will have His judgment."

Lecrae Explains Why He Almost Left The Christian Faith


Sep 05, 2017 by Will Maule  Hello Christian
Christian rapper Lecrae has been very honest about his struggles with the Christian faith, much of which comes down to the behaviour of certain Christians, and his confusion with how to reconcile this with the teaching of Christ. But what other factors were at play when Lecrae thought about leaving the faith? 
"Gandhi said it, 'it's not Christ I have a problem with, it's his people,'" the rapper explains. "That was my struggle. I felt so much abuse from organized religion, just because I'm walking in a direction that a lot of them couldn't fathom and can't understand." 
"It really drove me away. Sometimes you throw the baby out with the bathwater. Instead of running away from just the people, you run away from the whole idea of it."
"It's like a person in an abusive relationship, they just like 'I'm done with relationships.'"
Then, Lecrae took a trip to Egypt and quickly realized that God was bigger than all the critical voices. 
"I got to see a 3,000 civilization that weathered storms, and people's faith was intact through all that," he says. "It just made me realize that it's bigger than me, it's bigger than America."
Watch Lecrae talk more on this below.
