My daughter wrote Bethany letters and sent her a tee shirt, asking her to sign it, telling Bethany how her story helped her overcome her fears. Bethany wrote back, and signed the shirt and sent it back. I was amazed, impressed and grateful for her taking the time to do that, when she must have gotten thousands of letters! My daughter, Teresa, also sent her a necklace because she was so grateful!
My daughter, Teresa, is 22 and married now. She still follows Bethany on Instagram! Bethany is a true hero and role model, unlike the majority pf famous actors, musicians and athletes these days, that young people follow. I am grateful for her testimony and faithfulness, especially on controversial issues. Bethany, thanks for standing your ground on the word of God, and your convictions!
I think people who become disabled and overcome their challenges are so incredible! My husband has been a quadriplegic since I met him and he’s an amazing breadwinner and father to our kids. With God all things are possible. Bethany is truly an inspiration.
I named my daughter Bethany Hope, ever since I watched soul surfer I loved the name Bethany! She was born at 31 weeks and had to fight hard to survive. The Lord gave her strength and now she’s a healthy little girl! Loved this interview!
I couldn’t agree more! I am a RelataGram and well remember when Title 9 came to fruition! Where in the world are those voices to raise an objection? This cannot stand!
@@lindasteinbrenner8065 we need to be more vocal and start calling out the other female athlete that aren't hold accountable and are playing along with the insanity, likewise the men that seems not bother by the fact ,that their daughter's, sisters and wife are being defiled and are losing fair opportunities and rights. There needs to be accountability and I'm so glad that Bethany was alluding to this matter in the interview. We all are in it and can make the change if we become more vocal for our girls and women
When Beth innocently said, "Why are we even talking about this?" I was immediately reminded of The Emperor Has No Clothes. That's exactly what this is. We're being asked, really demanded, every single day, to deny reality and to just lie. I will NEVER do it.
She is a serious inspiration! What a role model. I also loved seeing the male surfers stand up for Bethany when she made the statement and was attacked
Like she said, it was discouraging that more people didn’t stand up with and for her but she did the right thing regardless! She walks by faith and doesn’t let fear consume her. Praise God! ❤
My goodness. It feels like yesterday that Bethany was a little girl! Boy, what a stark reminder of how fast and short this life is. I’m just blown away that she’s 34 years old with four children of her own! Wow, she is such a lovely young lady with a beautiful God filled spirit. A true blessing for young children and adults alike. She doing amazing work in this world, trying to pave the way back to sanity for women in sports and so much more. God bless this beautiful young lady. 🙏
I LOVE this interview ❤ Bethany is the real deal. She has remained humble and authentic throughout it all and I truly commend that about her. God is getting all the glory. Aloha ❤
Love love Bethany Hamilton!! You girls are such an inspiration for young girls & women worldwide!! Sharing the gospel and fighting for what’s right!! Thank you Bethany for taking a stand against the alphabet mob in sports!!
Thanks so much for having Bethany on.. she is a remarkable woman! She radiates joy and health and shines with our Lord’s grace! I admire her so much! ❤❤❤
I told my kids about Bethany to teach them about perseverance and trusting God in every situation. It is beautiful testimony. Praise the Lord for that 🙌❤️
Bethany Hamilton is the only woman I actually look up to as a world changing role model. I can’t wait to teach my 1.5 yr old daughter about her one day ❤
I’ve always found Bethany’s story inspiring but as a mom of two girls it just hits me in a different level now. She’s such an inspiration for young girls to be brave when facing adversity and pursuing your passions even when it’s hard 💛
I am similar to Bethany but with snowboarding… and I had a serious spinal cord injury when I was 16, I was snowboarding again by 17. You can’t understand the “why” until it’s your lifestyle. I’d never tell a lady to start working out hard, surfing, snowboarding, or climbing when she is pregnant but if you’re advanced or beyond in skill, go for it. I was rock climbing and snowboarding until 7-8 months with my pregnancies.
I can't understand how women are allowing themselves to be treated this way. All female athletes need to quit sports in protest. If they all protested, things would immediately change.
What a sweet, genuine, incredible person. Bethany and I are the same age and I remember well when news hit of the shark attack and then when Soul Surfer came out. Her faith is so inspiring. What she said about gratitude will stick with me forever.
Bethany is absolutely the sweetest woman! I'm so happy to see her strength ignite her courage to stand up for what is right! We definitely need more of this in the political areas and areas of fame. Thank you both for moving the world in the right direction ❤
Love that you had her on! I grew up in the youth group with her and visited her in the hospital right after her attack. I have some hilarious stories about her at church camps 😂
I have loved Bethany ever since I was 10-11. I’ve always thought she was so awesome, and she’s even more awesome now for standing up against these things. It’s absolutely disgusting that men pretending to be women can compete in women’s sports. It’s just their way of getting an easy medal. They don’t care that it’s wrong. More of us really do need to stand up against this propaganda. Bethany is amazing, and I will continue to look up to her, and strive to be more like her.
I loved this episode so much!! Bethany has been an incredible inspiration to me for her resilience and strive to not give up and also her wisdom on where that resilience comes from (the Lord!), and now her courage to stand for Truth no matter the cost! We stand with you Bethany!✊
I'm a couple years younger than Bethany but I remember when her book came out and I read it and it was inspiring! I want to read it again! 😊 Awesome interview! ❤
I am Brazilian and when a women's volleyball team included a trans in one of the volleyball teams, the athletes spoke out and were silenced. Weak men are taking women's places. Bethany is a phenomenon. Praise God that she is spoken about those nonsense inclusions that exclude women.
I’m from a SoCal beach town and Bethany’s accent is thick! Must be a Hawaii thing 😄 My daughter adores her. I’m grateful to her for being a such good role model for girls.
I had the same thought about her accent! I listened to the Podcast over audio and she still sounds like a 16 year-old "valley girl" in my mind, haha. But I love her testimony and her courage! You go girl!
I know little about pro surfing, but as a fan of pro cycling, I can say that women's races are drawing more male fans than ever, bigger events and fierce competition, and everyone is seeing a surge of interest in women's basketball with the recent college season and the all-star cast of new WNBA players led by Caitlin Clark. And it is women who are making that happen, their play and their teamwork and their personalities and a healthy athletic vibe. And as a fan and a viewer and a man, I cannot understand why any women's league would suddenly redefine itself and its product as this women's surfing league has done. It is a shock to its most famous competitor, Bethany, and to her fans and I admire anyone who paddles into the middle of the ocean to ride a wave back to the beach. And I've seen kids in Hawaii way out there in the water, splashing around like they're in a water park and bobbing up and down as they wait for the ocean to serve them a tasty wave.
I love what she said “we arent just a hormone level” Thats what the government is trying to define a woman as …. A hormone level. You get to a certain hormone level….BOOM congratulations you are a woman now. I had never put those things together. Thank you Bethany!
We watched Soul Surfer a couple weeks ago and my 4 year old is a fan now. She even cut the left arm off her paper dolls. It's especially cute because my husband almost lost himself arm in combat and has limited use.
Precious sister Bethany, this is your Queen Esther moment. Perhaps everything you went through was for such a time as this. We had our babies the same year. We became mothers together. I’ve always felt you are a soul sister.
I've seen soul surfer the Movie so many times I love it so much and I love your story Bethany and being a Christian myself I want to show the movie to my nieces when their older. I don't surf or anything but I did special Olympics with my sister for a long time and we had fun.
My daughter wrote Bethany letters and sent her a tee shirt, asking her to sign it, telling Bethany how her story helped her overcome her fears. Bethany wrote back, and signed the shirt and sent it back. I was amazed, impressed and grateful for her taking the time to do that, when she must have gotten thousands of letters! My daughter, Teresa, also sent her a necklace because she was so grateful!
That’s a great story! Thanks for sharing! ❤
That’s amazing! Bethany is the best ❤
Wow that is such an awesome story..❤️

I rewatch soul surfer periodically to refresh my soul with Gods love and mercy.
Yes! I love both films, they are amazing and she is incredible 😊
I wasn't aware of the documentary! I have been so impressed with Bethany from the movie Soul Surfer!
me too its one of my faves!
I think people who become disabled and overcome their challenges are so incredible! My husband has been a quadriplegic since I met him and he’s an amazing breadwinner and father to our kids. With God all things are possible. Bethany is truly an inspiration.
Wow! All glory to God.
If I may ask, what does he do for a living?
How refreshing to hear a young person who is thankful for their parents and honours them. So proud of Bethany taking a stand to honour the Lord.
I love the fact she stood by her values. Biological men should not be competing with women period. It’s insane that anyone thinks that’s okay.
I named my daughter Bethany Hope, ever since I watched soul surfer I loved the name Bethany! She was born at 31 weeks and had to fight hard to survive. The Lord gave her strength and now she’s a healthy little girl! Loved this interview!
I'm 38w1d along with my 2nd baby - we are naming her Bethany. :)
Me jumping up and down that there're finally female athletes speaking up for our girls and women
Thankyou Bethany
I couldn’t agree more! I am a RelataGram and well remember when Title 9 came to fruition!
Where in the world are those voices to raise an objection? This cannot stand!

@@hayfalahraoui8361 That was very well said! I agree 100 percent!
Always loved her story!
Am I the only one thinking “Bethany Hamilton is making waves…?” pun intended. Keep standing up for what’s godly!
What a legendary guest to have on!
When Beth innocently said, "Why are we even talking about this?" I was immediately reminded of The Emperor Has No Clothes. That's exactly what this is. We're being asked, really demanded, every single day, to deny reality and to just lie. I will NEVER do it.
Bethany shines with the joy of the Lord! ❤
She is a serious inspiration! What a role model. I also loved seeing the male surfers stand up for Bethany when she made the statement and was attacked
Like she said, it was discouraging that more people didn’t stand up with and for her but she did the right thing regardless! She walks by faith and doesn’t let fear consume her. Praise God! ❤
Thank you for having Bethany on. She is brilliant, empathetic, talented, and brave! An important voice ❤

Great comment well said

Bethany is a hero in the true sense of the word. Thank you for standing up for what you believe in!
Love love Bethany Hamilton!! You girls are such an inspiration for young girls & women worldwide!! Sharing the gospel and fighting for what’s right!!
Thank you Bethany for taking a stand against the alphabet mob in sports!!
Thanks for standing up for women’s sports! 🙏🏻
- Bethany Hamilton, has a very honest and thoughtful heart
Thanks so much for having Bethany on.. she is a remarkable woman! She radiates joy and health and shines with our Lord’s grace! I admire her so much! ❤❤❤
I needed to hear this so bad today! Especially the part about "woe is me" and John 16:33.
I told my kids about Bethany to teach them about perseverance and trusting God in every situation. It is beautiful testimony. Praise the Lord for that 🙌❤️
Bethany Hamilton is the only woman I actually look up to as a world changing role model. I can’t wait to teach my 1.5 yr old daughter about her one day ❤
Totally agree. I can’t wait to teach my two young daughters all about her.
I’ve always found Bethany’s story inspiring but as a mom of two girls it just hits me in a different level now. She’s such an inspiration for young girls to be brave when facing adversity and pursuing your passions even when it’s hard 💛

Thank you for your ministry, Bethany! You are a blessing to so many. I love how you stand up for your strong, godly, biblical morals.
I can't understand how women are allowing themselves to be treated this way. All female athletes need to quit sports in protest. If they all protested, things would immediately change.
I think this often. Why don’t women just refuse to play? If all the women refused collectively, this wouldn’t be happening.
She is such a breath of fresh air. I love how strong AND unbothered she is. What a great episode. Thanks, Allie!
What a sweet, genuine, incredible person. Bethany and I are the same age and I remember well when news hit of the shark attack and then when Soul Surfer came out. Her faith is so inspiring. What she said about gratitude will stick with me forever.
So glad to see Bethany up here! Praise the Lord for her and her testimony!
I love Bethany so much! I have loved and looked up to her for years. I’m always so grateful for the great godly women example she sets❤️
Bethany is absolutely the sweetest woman! I'm so happy to see her strength ignite her courage to stand up for what is right! We definitely need more of this in the political areas and areas of fame. Thank you both for moving the world in the right direction ❤
Wonderful interview Allie!! Thank you to you and Bethany for courageously using your platforms to speak out for life!!
Thank you Bethany for speaking on this!
Good job Bethany!!!
I love Bethany! She has such a humble and gentle heart. I’m so glad she uses her voice for the Lord. God has blessed her!
I’ve looked up to Bethany since I was a child. She’s such an awesome woman!
Bethany is coming to my church this Saturday for a diaper drive. My daughter is so excited.
My daughter and I have watched Soul Surfer soooo many times. We love her!
What a great interview. Thanks Bethany!
So excited to listen to this episode!! She has been an inspiration for years!
This is a fantastic episode. Love Bethany for her story and taking a stand in the surfing world!
Soul Surfer is a really good movie. Go Bethany and Alana!!
Great show Allie keep up the good work!
What an amazing woman! A joy to watch.
So glad she spoke out about this sheer and utter nonsense. She seems like a lovely person. ❤
Thank you so much, Bethany!!!
Bethany is amazing! wow what an inspiration! Great movie Soul Surfer about her
Her documentary was amazing, i took 3 of my nieces to see it!
Two women I admire a lot! Thank you!
Love that you had her on! I grew up in the youth group with her and visited her in the hospital right after her attack. I have some hilarious stories about her at church camps 😂
Bethany is such and iconnnn, what a great Godly example for young girls ❤️

My birthday twin!!! Love you Bethany!
Omg! My little girls love Bethany. I have to show this episode to them!
Thank you for taking a stand.
Loved this episode. Thank you for having Bethany on💗
Bethany has a sweet spirit. Thanks for your advocacy.
What a great guest. Love Bethany. ❤️
I'm a couple years younger than Bethany but I remember when her book came out and I read it and it was inspiring! I want to read it again! 😊 Awesome interview! ❤
Beyond Inspiring, Encouraging & Beautiful interview. THANK YOU for your COURAGE Bethany!! LORD BLESS You and Yours Always!! 🩷
Fabulous interview, Allie and Bethany. It gives me so much hope and inspiration. God is good!
Been following Bethany since I was a teen. Now I’m a mom of 4 too. God Bless you ❤🏄♀️
That was fun and inspiring! Thanks ladies!
I am Brazilian and when a women's volleyball team included a trans in one of the volleyball teams, the athletes spoke out and were silenced. Weak men are taking women's places.
Bethany is a phenomenon. Praise God that she is spoken about those nonsense inclusions that exclude women.
Love her since I saw her on Amazing Race during a binge watch season in my life. I LOVE how you can hear her smile as she speaks.
Love her! She is a great example and inspiration ❤
Love this interview ! Bethany is amazing !
I really enjoyed this! Bethany really is an amazing woman! Thanks for sharing this with us
She’s my hero.
I love Bethany! I’m so glad you had her on.
I LOVE BH❤️❤️❤️ I’m so excited to watch!

You get to a certain hormone level….BOOM congratulations you are a woman now.
I had never put those things together. Thank you Bethany!
Bethany Hamilton???? ALLIE! You’re officially my favorite podcaster 😂💗
Wow - you get to talk with Bethany Hamilton in person! What a sweet, godly celebrity!
This is so exciting!
I can’t wait for your Q&A!!! Also, I love Bethany!
We watched Soul Surfer a couple weeks ago and my 4 year old is a fan now. She even cut the left arm off her paper dolls. It's especially cute because my husband almost lost himself arm in combat and has limited use.
This episode was amazing.
Beautiful ladies. Blessings.
“Narly” is literally the best word I’ve heard to describe the whole trans sports situation
Gnarly
What beautiful time spent.
GOD Bless you Bethany, I will your family in prayer One of HIS
Bethany is one of the most hard-core humans of all time! Bravery x1000000
I’m disappointed along with you, Bethany. Thank you for being courageous in speaking out. God has used your obedience. ❤
Precious sister Bethany, this is your Queen Esther moment. Perhaps everything you went through was for such a time as this. We had our babies the same year. We became mothers together. I’ve always felt you are a soul sister.
Such an inspiration
I love her!

Yes, Bethany Hamilton liked my post on Instagram because of the prolife diaper company she was promoting. She is God's blessing!!
Thank you.
She needs to connect with Riley Gaines!
