In this captivating episode of Beam Boldly, host Brooke Gleichowski sits down with 4x NCAA Gymnastics Champion, SEC Champion, and 2025 Honda Sport Award winner, former University of Oklahoma gymnast, Jordan Bowers! Jordan and Brooke talk about faith, resilience, and purpose beyond perfection - from flipping around her childhood home to becoming one of the most decorated athletes in college gymnastics, Jordan shares the remarkable story behind her success, including the moments that nearly broke her. She opens up about the transition from elite gymnastics to college competition, the pressure of performing under national spotlight, and how her faith and family helped her rediscover joy in the sport she once lost love for.

Jordan reflects on the injuries that tested her identity, the lessons of leadership she learned through adversity, and the phrase that became her foundation: trust the process. Her story is raw, inspiring, and a powerful reminder that even in seasons of waiting, God’s plan is still unfolding.
