Father Dave sits down with All-American swimmer Riley Gaines during her recent Franciscan University visit. Riley shares her compelling story of competing against a biological male at the 2022 NCAA Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships and how the outcome propelled her onto a national stage as a defender of women’s sports. She and Father Dave also discuss why the body matters, what courage looks like, why her baby daughter motivates her to speak up, what she prays for every night, and some wins on the state and national levels for fairness in women’s sports.
