In this special Best Of episode of the FLS Podcast, we bring together three powerful conversations with athletes from different sports, all sharing their journeys of faith, perseverance, and purpose.
We hear from Sunshine Coast surfer Reef Heazlewood, who has risen from riding waves as a toddler to competing on the world stage, including a win at the 2025 Taiwan Open of Surfing. Reef opens up about making his faith his own at 18 and how it shapes his life on tour — through the highs, lows, and opportunities to connect with others.
Former Canberra Raiders captain Alan Tongue joins us for an honest and inspiring chat about his rugby league journey, the sacrifices it took to reach the NRL, and how his Christian faith guided him throughout his career and continues to influence his life after football.
We also sit down with rising NSW cricketer Ryan Gupta, a promising young talent in the Blues Academy. Ryan shares how his love for cricket began, the moment his faith became personal during high school, and how he balances pursuing professional sport while following Jesus.
