About this listen

 Welcome to season 2 of the "Spirit of Sport" podcast from Christian Athlete Circles. CAC is a community for athletes seeking a deeper spiritual life. In the podcast, the athletic community offers reflections on spirituality, faith and leadership. In this episode, we talk with Pat Griffin--trailblazing advocate and educator. Pat shares her journey from coaching as a closeted lesbian in the 1980s to becoming a national leader for LGBTQ inclusion in sports. She reflects on moments of courage, the cost of hiding, and the power of speaking out against injustice--even when it means challenging the status quo. Pat discusses the origins of Common Ground, her experiences building bridges between LGBTQ athletes and people of faith, and the core values that sustain her work: love and compassion.
