In this debut episode of the GOA Speakers Podcast, Greg Oliver and Abigail Garrett sit down with American Ninja Warrior legend Travis Rosen, known as the “Ageless Wonder” and “Mr. Consistency.” Travis shares how an eight–year break from competition, a late start at age 35, and a devastating foot injury all became part of a bigger story about faith, perseverance, and overcoming life’s obstacles.

From training like an elite gymnast in his 40s to praying mid–course on national television, Travis gives an honest, behind–the–scenes look at Ninja Warrior, talks about turning the show into a mission field, and explains how every person can impact others right where they are.
