From the Family Foundation, this is Speak Up! Virginia podcast! In this episode we bring an exclusive interview, we sit down with Bethany Hamilton, the world-renowned champion surfer and 'Soul Surfer' legend. Known for her incredible comeback to competitive surfing after surviving a shark attack and losing her arm, Bethany shares her inspiring journey and unwavering faith.

In today's conversation, Bethany opens up about her bold stance on males competing in women's sports, a topic that has drawn significant attention and backlash in today’s cancel culture. She talks candidly about the challenges she’s faced, the strength of her faith under fire, and how she continues to stand firm in her beliefs despite the pressures.

Join us for this powerful discussion, hosted by Candi Cushman, as we explore Bethany's courage, resilience, and the role of faith in navigating the challenges of modern society.
