#24 - Finding Christ - On & Off The Court with Diego Perez

Описание: Do you ever wonder what it really looks like to follow Jesus in a competitive world where your identity gets tested every time you win or lose?

In this episode of Room at the Table, Kimberly Milo sits down with professional beach volleyball player Diego Perez, currently ranked top 30 in the U.S., to talk about faith, failure, discipline, and what it means to use your platform for the Gospel. Diego shares his journey from being a top recruit with Division I offers to losing it all, walking through deep grief, meeting Jesus for himself, and rebuilding his life on something that will not collapse.

Diego also talks about how his faith shapes his career today. He trains hard, competes internationally, and partners with his coach Michael Clark to disciple athletes and boldly share Christ at tournaments. He even created Jesus Rules Ministries, known for the bold “Jesus Rules” shirts he wears in competition, because in a culture that often pushes the opposite, Diego is choosing to stand out on purpose.

Together, they talk about:

What happens when your sport becomes your identity and how to keep Jesus first

How God can redeem your biggest failures and rewrite your story

Why discipline matters more than hype and what pro training is really like

What it looks like to preach the Gospel in uncomfortable places like volleyball tournaments

Why success never satisfies without Christ and what actually does

How to be willing to let go of the gifts God gives you and trust Him with the outcome

If you are an athlete, a competitor, or anyone chasing big goals, this episode is a reminder that trophies will not keep you steady, but Christ will. And whether you are thriving or barely holding on, there is always room at His table.
