Olympic swimmer Stephanie Rice has given her life to Jesus, but her social media followers don’t like it

’So many people have rejected God because they think Christianity is just a belief system for people that need some kind of spiritual comfort,’ says Kate Orson reflecting on the response to Stephanie Rice giving God glory for her blessings in life. She says we need to work on translating Jesus to those people, so they don’t discard him.

The Olympic swimming gold medalist Stephanie Rice has given her life to Jesus. While Christians are rejoicing that a high-profile figure has come into the fold, non-believers are not so happy. Her fans seem to be concerned with some commenting on her Instagram with their concerns and saying she doesn’t need God, but therapy. Trolls see her as an ‘attention-seeking drama Queen.’

In a brave Instagram post Rice shared her conversion story. She describes how ‘the few weeks before turning to God were my lowest yet. I can’t tell you how broken I was.
