Felix is one of several Olympians featured on the BeyondtheUltimate.org website, sponsored by the ministry Athletes in Action, and has expressed how blessed she feels that God gave her the gift to run fast. Her father is an ordained minister and a New Testament professor at The Master’s Seminary in Sun Valley, Calif., and while many athletes compete for personal glory, Felix says she wants to use her talent to glorify God.
“And that’s my purpose: to run to glorify Him,” Felix said.
Felix stated that her faith is “definitely” the most important aspect of her life, and that her goal is to be “more Christ-like each and every day.”
What a nice relief to have athletes give glory to God instead of themselves.
