In this episode of Proverbs 31 Creatives, I sit down with Nafsika Zacharakis, the founder of Praise Pedal, a Christian cycling class that turns fitness into worship. Nafsika shares her powerful testimony of walking through a refiner’s season—a time when God stripped away her self-reliance and shaped her into someone who reflects His glory. We dive into how God used her passion for fitness to create a ministry that encourages others to honor Him with their bodies, minds, and spirits. From personal struggles to finding purpose, this episode is a heartfelt reminder of how God can purify and use us for His greater plan when we fully surrender. Whether you’re navigating a challenging season or seeking inspiration to pursue your calling, Nafsika’s story will encourage you to praise God through every step of the journey.
