Faith
My faith journey: God’s timing
Faith has been part of Nathan’s story through purpose, success, injury, patience, and the daily work of becoming more grounded.
Purpose changes the way you compete.
Nathan’s original reflection traces a faith journey that became more personal through CVCA, mentors, teammates, family, and wrestling. The deeper point is not image. It is purpose: using gifts with gratitude and trying to honor God in the way the work is done.
Success and storms both reveal foundations.
The highs of Ohio State and the pain of major injuries created different kinds of tests. Winning can pull people outward; suffering can pull people inward. Faith gave Nathan a way to keep seeking growth when circumstances were not simple.
Daily practices shape the heart.
Prayer, scripture, worship, small groups, conversation, and reflection became part of the rhythm. Those habits are not separate from performance. They shape patience, humility, optimism, and the way an athlete treats people.
NATO takeaway
Faith is not just a story from the past. It is a daily orientation: keep growing, keep serving, and keep letting the hard seasons form something better.
