What if the very moment that breaks you is the one God uses to bring you back?

In Episode 9 of Beam Boldly, host Brooke Gleichowski sits down with University of Oklahoma gymnast Hannah Scheible - a 2X Nastia Liukin Cup qualifier, 7X Level 10 national champion, and All-American on vault - to talk about faith, injury, and the freedom found in surrender.

From the outside, Hannah’s story looked like everything was falling apart: a torn Achilles, a surgery that shattered her season, and a rare eye infection that threatened her vision entirely. But through every setback, God was writing a story of trust, obedience, and redemption.

She shares the moment she first heard God’s voice - “Your life is a gift from Me, and it’s not yours to decide when it ends.” - and how that encounter changed her forever. When her sport was taken away, her faith became her foundation. When she couldn’t see, God taught her to see differently.

Through recovery, waiting, and the slow work of healing, Hannah learned how to work while she waited, to pray through the pain, and to see purpose in every unseen detail.

This conversation is a reminder that God’s definition of “good” often begins in what feels hard - and that true peace doesn’t come from control, but from surrender.

Key moments:

• The first time Hannah heard God’s voice in her darkest moment

• Finding purpose when you can’t perform

• Learning to seek God daily - in every arena of life
