Despite racial discrimination, he competed in the 1936 Olympics in Germany during Hitler's reign, 5 years before the start of World War II. Owens would go on to befriend some of his Nazi competitors and lead one of them to belief in God! We discuss all this and more on today's episode!

This Month in Christian History aims to honor the significance of the past. We’ve identified saints, athletes, missionaries, and regular people who did extraordinary things in the corresponding month throughout history. These people and events impacted everything from the smallest towns to the entire world. Some of them may not have a day dedicated to them on the calendar but are definitely worth learning about and celebrating!
