Endurance for One Moment More: Jenedy Paige on Art, Faith, and Grit
For Jenedy Paige, journaling started as a childhood habit and became a lifeline in adulthood, especially after the tragic drowning of her son. Art and writing gave her voice; running and climbing gave her release. Her practice of seeking both God and growth eventually led her to the national stage of American Ninja Warrior. Through it all, she has come to see strength not only as personal resilience but as a calling—to bring light and encouragement to others walking through their own storms.
Guest: Jenedy Paige, oil painter and "American Ninja Warrior" participant
