The Happy Hour with Jamie Ivey HH #599 Encounter: Finding My Identity with Kaylee Morgan
As a college athlete and rising professional runner, Kaylee had it all. She was certain of the path ahead of her as she considered training for Track and Field at the Rio Olympics in 2016; however, her senior year was bringing about challenges she had never faced. As Kaylee experienced a death in her family and a career ending injury, she was forced to ask herself, “Who is Kaylee without a track career?”
Kaylee Morgan is a four-time all American college athlete, writer, speaker, youth pastor, and racial justice educator who is madly in love with Jesus. Outside of the hours of nine to five, you can find her dodging the sun in St. Petersburg, Florida, playing her PlayStation, reading crime novels, enjoying a good meal, and obsessing over the Spice Girls. Ultimately, Kaylee’s desire is to love God and love people while promoting Gospel-Centered Unity. She is passionate about teaching how we find our identity in Christ and how that plays into our interactions with others.
You may have never had a career-ending track injury, but my guess is you know the pain of loss. Whether it’s a job that wasn’t what you expected, a broken dream, or the death of a loved one, we can trust that God is faithful through it all. Friends, praise God we are not identified by our performance or lack thereof! You are a child of God and all of your identity can be found in our loving Father!
