Christian Athlete Stories to Inspire

Let Faith Grow: Running Through Adversity is an inspiring story that delves into the remarkable life journey of Ben Hinton, a marathon runner, devoted Christian, and a man whose relentless spirit has overcome unimaginable challenges.

He was born with a rare brain inflammation disease, and Ben’s survival was nothing short of miraculous. Raised as an only child by a workaholic mother battling alcoholism, he felt the weight of his “miracle baby” status and the pressure to prove himself to the world. Basketball became his refuge and a means to support his struggling family, fueling dreams of playing in the NBA. But as life would have it, Ben’s path took unexpected turns.

Diagnosed with a rare eye condition and later sustaining a traumatic brain injury, Ben faced constant adversity that could have crushed his spirit. Yet, with unwavering faith, he emerged stronger. From undergoing grueling treatments and therapy to running his first half marathon a mere eight weeks after his brain injury, Ben’s determination to defy the odds propelled him forward.
