Episode Episode 213 - Faith, Netball and My Secret Addiction: Ine-Mari Venter, Part 1
In this episode, I’m joined by professional netballer Ine-Marí Venter for a VERY honest chat about faith, netball, purpose and a secret struggle she carried for years. Ine-Marí shares her journey growing up in a Dutch Reformed Church and not really understanding what it meant to have a relationship with God, before discovering a deep and personal faith in Christ. We chat about her professional netball journey, the disappointments and doubts she faced along the way, and how she came to realise that netball isn’t her purpose - it’s simply one of the ways she can glorify God. Ine-Marí also bravely opens up about her long-term struggle with p*rnography, lust and m*sturbation. She shares about the shame and isolation she experienced, the moment she finally found the courage to tell others, and how freedom wasn’t an overnight experience but a gradual journey - walked through with the Lord. I absolutely loved this conversation and Ine-Marí’s honesty, humility and passion for Jesus. There’s so much more to her story, so make sure you come back for Part 2!
