Episodios

  • In this episode, we sit down with Interim Executive Director, Jadi Rodriguez, True Strength Coach, Anthony Davis, and Living Word Houma Pastor, Ben Bufkin. We compare the Elite CrossFit Athletes journey to that of the Christian walk and what it means for us to live out our faith in a way that mirrors the dedication and performance of an elite athlete. Ben shares a simple but profound definition of what that looks like that we then spend the rest of the episode teasing out.

  • Josh Hong is an athlete that broke onto the competitive CrossFit scene at the Granite Games this year and made a huge impression on our staff. He is sold out for Christ and unashamedly lives out his faith. There was a pivotal moment during the snatch event where things didn’t go the way he planned, and he dropped to his knees afterwards to surrender the moment to the Lord and learn from it.

  • We’re excited to have Dan Bailey back on the podcast. We catch up on life and have a transparent conversation about finally making it back to the 2021 CrossFit Games after fighting back from injury, then testing positive for COVID before the first event. We talk about his recent marriage to All American Gymnast and USAW National Champ, Alex LaChance. We also dig in to what it’s been like to maintain his beliefs around sex and marriage in an environment where the world sees his convictions as weird and unnecessary.

  • On this episode of the podcast we’re talking with CrossFit Games Teen competitor Delaney Wade. On February 1, 2019, Delaney was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. But that didn’t stop her from reaching the highest level of our sport, the CrossFit Games, in 2021. Not many people would have the grace or perspective that Delaney has at only 16. In her eyes, the presence of Type 1 Diabetes in her life is a good thing and she praise God for the ways he’s used it to bless others.

    We wish we had kept recording, because after we were done, Lindsey and Delaney continued discussing life and their relationships with the Lord. Delaney shared, “I want to be passionate about living and about who he made me to be. I hope I always keep my eyes open and can see the small ways he works in life every day… even small things like crying at a sunrise.” She’s a special young woman, and we hope you enjoy the episode.

  • Alex Gazan has been a part of the FAITH RXD Community since 2018. After starting a chapter in Oregon, she moved to Las Vegas where she has been able to train with the best in the world, and after many sacrifices and years of hard work, she’s punched her ticket to the 2022 CrossFit Games. We sit down and discuss her experience qualifying at Granite Games, what it was like to miss her opportunity to go to the Games in 2019 by one spot, and her perspective on training.

  • FAITH RXD Sponsored Athlete, Anthony Davis, competed at the Granite Games a few weeks ago. It was a pivotal event for Anthony as an athlete and affirmed many things the Lord has been pushing him towards, but that he had not fully wrapped his mind around yet. We have a great conversation about the weekend, how God has used it, and what the future holds for Anthony and his competitive career. We’re excited for it, and excited to continue supporting him in his journey to the Games, but more importantly, his journey to use the gifts God’s given him to create a platform that Anthony can proclaim Christ and point people to the ultimate source of strength and salvation.

  • Lyndsey Deane Ratchford is the National Director of Endurance for Team World Vision at World Vision USA. We discuss domestic and international poverty and how their programs are bringing clean water to people around the world. Their events not only address our traditional understanding of poverty as a physical lack, but are also addressing communal and spiritual poverty- all through fitness.

    Each year we partner with World Vision for the Cheru Challenge and use our fitness to raise funds to bring life saving clean water around the world. You can find out more about the event by visiting www.teamworldvision.org/Cheru. Our next event will be May 6, 2023. It sounds far away, but will be here before we know it.

  • Today we’re sitting down with Tiffany Head. She and her husband co-founded everyone’s favorite mobility company, RomWOD and ran a gym for 7 years. On her website, Tiffany shares, “I weighed 300 pounds when God called me to work in the fitness industry, and even though my camera roll is now filled with some pretty unbelievable before and after photos, the transformation that God wanted to accomplish in my life had nothing to do with numbers on the scale.” We talk about what that transformation journey has looked like for her, and how she has chosen to step into the opportunities God has placed before her regardless of how terrifying they may feel in the moment.

We have David Franco and Danny Hancock are both coaches for True Strength FAITH + FITNESS Training Camps; Anthony Davis is a CrossFit Games Athlete, a FAITH RXD sponsored athlete, and also is a coach for True Strength; and last, but not least, we have Jadi Rodriguez, our Executive Director.

    We answer questions from our community about pornography, masturbation, abstaining from sex in singleness, and maintaining purity even within marriage. If you have kids, we would recommend listening to the episode first without them to determine if they are mature enough to listen.

    We are going to be dedicating about an episode a month to different topics as part of our new series, FAITH Accessory Work. We’ve already done one episode on the Holy Spirit and now this one on Purity. If you have thoughts, feedback, or topic suggestions, please shoot them to me at [email protected].

Elite SRS exists to equip and encourage people to "Do Hard Things™" so they grow stronger.

Something he said when we were done recording, and didn’t make it into the episode, is, “Jesus was super interruptible, we should be interruptible.” It’s an incredible challenge to take into the rest of the year.

  • Isaac will tell you, he’s just a regular guy, but a regular guy that is facing something that is all to common- anxiety. His battle has been debilitating at times, but because of the Lord, he’s found victory in living with it. He’s written a book called The Exodus Problem that shares his journey and the encouragement he’s leaned on in Scripture and his community. His desire is for this book to encourage others in a similar situation in life.

    In his book he shares: “Deliverance is not automatic, and it doesn’t come easily. I was asking God to deliver me from a major stronghold in my life, and I also had it all worked out in my head just how God was going to deliver me. Images of Jesus healing the lame, causing the blind to see, and raising people from the dead filled my mind, and I began to see myself just waking up one day and everything is gone. The tormenting anxious thoughts, the dark clouds of depression I would feel on and off every day, and the debilitating pain, everything…just gone! As convenient as that would have been, it just didn’t work out that way for me. My desire to be delivered required me to take steps of faith that were beyond my comfort zone. It required me to push myself harder and to go further than I was capable of going. It was a journey that was impossible for me to complete on my own strength, but it wasn’t impossible for God.”

  • In this episode we’re sitting down again with our friend, JCruz Gudino. JCruz is a husband, father to four amazing kiddos, and placed second at the 2021 CrossFit Games in the Mens Neuromuscular Division. We talk about the journey he’s been on after the Games and how his perspective on competing and training has shifted.

    After suffering two Neuro Crashes, he’s been real with God about the frustrations of letting go of the story he thought God was writing for him. In it, he’s found a new freedom and a new way to train. Contentment has taken on a new meaning because of it.
