Today, we have part one of a two-part series with our fabulous
guest, Trish Porter Topmiller. Trish is a 1988 U.S. Olympian in the
high jump, former world record holder for women ages 40-44 in the
high jump, and multiple times U.S. National and World Masters
Champion. Among other accomplishments, she is the author of two
books, titled King Here, and Rekindle Your Dreams.
Trish shares openly about the 2012 loss of her husband of 20 years
(Pat Porter, who was a two-time U.S. Olympic team member) and
15-year old son Connor (a U.S. National Fencing medalist) in a
plane accident as well as the more recent loss of her father to an
addiction-induced suicide. In her book, King Here, she chronicles
the life of her father and his journey to faith. For more

In today's discussion, we focus on the determination, dedication,
and decision to pursue a deeper faith, much like an athlete pursues
an ambitious goal. I am amazed by Trish's athletic accomplishments
as well as the evident faith that she shares with us. It is a faith
that can only be achieved through truly clinging to the truths we
find in God's word in the midst of trials.
