Listen Later

EPISODE SUMMARY

In this inspiring episode of Rooted, hosts Josie and Symone Harms sit down with three-time Olympic medalist Gigi Marvin — a two-time silver and one-time gold medalist with Team USA Women’s Hockey. From growing up in small-town Minnesota to winning Olympic gold, Gigi shares how her faith in Christ has been the foundation of her identity, purpose, and peace — both on and off the ice. She opens up about the pressure of performance, the power of prayer, and learning to see her sport as an act of worship. With humor, humility, and wisdom, Gigi reflects on moments of victory, lessons from loss, and how Scripture transformed her perspective — helping her find joy beyond the scoreboard. Whether you’re an athlete, leader, or simply someone seeking purpose, Gigi’s story reminds us that true victory is found in Christ alone.
