When the final final whistle blows and a college athlete hangs up her jersey for the last time, what happens next?
For Julia, an Athletes InterVarsity Alumna from UW-River Falls, it was a challenging transition. Saying goodbye to her team, managing an unfamiliar routine, and embracing her new grad school environment meant following Jesus into uncertainty. But God had been preparing her to take courageous steps of faith like these since joining the UW-River Falls Women's Basketball team during her junior year. It was here, as a brand new member of the team, that Julia planted a team Bible study; a ministry that has continued to grow and flourish since she graduated in 2024. It may not look quite the same, but Julia is still courageously saying "yes" to Jesus in her new context and learning what it means to lean into her identity as a child of God and follower of Jesus.
