Swimming in Open Ocean - A Conversation with Steve Leitch

In this episode of Family Vision, Rob Rienow welcomes his friend Steve Leitch, an adventure swimmer and a man of deep faith. Steve shares his incredible story of swimming the 28-mile Molokai Channel in Hawaii—an intense journey filled with shark shields, stingrays, jellyfish, and 13 hours of open water. Beyond the physical challenges, Steve dives into the spiritual lessons he’s learned through swimming and life, including his battle with addiction, his relationship with his father, and how his faith has been central in his journey of recovery and adventure.

The conversation also touches on Steve’s documentary Beyond the Shoreline: The Channel of Bones, which captures his epic swim and the personal stories that shaped his life. Steve’s wife, Kelly, played a vital role in supporting him throughout the swim and continues to be a cornerstone in his faith and family life.

Join this inspiring conversation about faith, family, and pushing the limits of what’s possible. Don’t miss this incredible adventure, both in the water and in following Jesus.
