Choosing To Be On The Winning Team: God's Team with Sarena Mackley
BYU heptathlete Serena Mackley joins Unlocking Divinity to share how a childhood boating accident that nearly took her leg became a turning point in her faith—and the reason she sees sports as a stage for discipleship. Growing up as one of 11 siblings, Serena learned early to hustle, commit, and love big. On the track team, her quiet consistency sparked conversations that led to a teammate’s baptism and a friend choosing to curb his swearing out of respect for her beliefs. Serena compares discipleship to finishing a race—showing up, enduring the hard, and trusting the Coach—then extends a powerful invitation to join God’s “winning team.†Serena also shares promises from President Russell M. Nelson’s 2017 address, including that deeper study of Jesus Christ increases our love for God’s laws and our ability to turn from sin.
