Focus on the Family with Jim Daly Focus on the Family

Kim Anthony had talent but did not have the ‘look’ of a typical gymnast in the 1980s – she was African-American, too tall, and came from a poor family. But by the time she got to college, she had already overcome incredible odds: almost aborted; a drug-addicted father; a struggling single mom.

She concludes her message by encouraging her audience of high-school students to esteem themselves as sons and daughters of the King and embrace sexual purity before marriage.
