Ep. 7 - Mallory Gregory – Ohio State Gymnast – Faith, Obedience, and Competing with Purpose

What happens when the plan you’ve worked your whole life for suddenly changes — and God calls you to trust Him anyway?

In Episode 7 of Beam Boldly, host Brooke Gleichowski sits down with Mallory Gregory, former Division I gymnast at The Ohio State University and 2025 FCA Female College Athlete of the Year, for a powerful conversation about obedience, surrender, and finding peace when God redirects your path.

From major injuries to medical retirement, Mallory opens up about the pain, purpose, and perspective that came through her faith journey — and how God turned her setbacks into a testimony. She shares what it looked like to surrender control, trust His plan through healing, and redefine her identity beyond sport.

Together, Brooke and Mallory talk about navigating fear, mental blocks, and performance pressure as athletes, and how to keep your eyes fixed on God through every season. Mallory’s story is a reminder that faith doesn’t eliminate the fire — it carries you through it.

Key moments:
• Discovering identity beyond gymnastics and injury
• The miracle recovery that defied doctors’ expectations
• Choosing obedience over control
• How faith changed the way she led her team
• Finding purpose in surrender
