Mark Otieno Odhiambo is a Kenyan world class track athlete. As a national champion and ranked as one of the fastest people not only in Kenya but in the world, he has a relationship with God that is inspiring and firm. Throughout our conversation today, we talk about a lot of things that will make you think about God’s love, His faith, and how he continues to be with Mark even through difficult circumstances. 

As we discuss what it looks like to show Christ through his performance and how he carries himself, Mark stays humble and gives insight into picking up his cross daily to follow God. Listen and learn more about:

  • Keeping Christ at the center of your life and athletic career
  • How the sports culture in Kenya shaped the athlete that Mark is today
  • Why he chose to compete in track and field professionally
  • Making those around you better through your actions and words
  • Is it more difficult to spread the Gospel as a professional athlete?
