67. The Mindset of a Kingdom Ninja, with Daniel Gil

Imagine missing out on a $1 million grand prize by fractions of a second... not once, but twice! Then imagine finally standing on top of the podium after years of hard work, only to miss out on that same $1 million grand prize because it happened to be the COVID year. How would that impact your mindset? How would that test your faith? Are we living for the riches of this world, or do we have a more eternal vision for the impact of our lives? Daniel Gil, 2020 winner of American Ninja Warrior and 7-time Finalist, joins us in this episode to share his incredible story of triumph and heartbreak. His perspective on life and competition is a breath of fresh air, and the lessons learned that he shares from over a decade as a professional athlete will empower us all to be better men and fathers. A self-proclaimed Kingdom Ninja, Daniel reminds us that we're all called to live a life that is set apart. The stories and mindsets that he shares empower us to do just that.


About Our Guest

Daniel Gil is the Season 12 Champion of American Ninja Warrior. Born and raised in Houston, TX, Daniel was always a fun-loving adventurer. Growing up, he spent a lot of time outdoors, climbing trees and playing sports. Even though he wasn't naturally good at sports, he loved being active and was competitive enough not to quit when things got tough. After graduating high school, he attended a two-year ministry school and received an associates degree and simultaneously began coaching & training at Iron Sports Ninja Gym. In 2015 he began his rookie year competing on season 7 of American Ninja Warrior and thus his journey to becoming one of the top athletes on the show. Daniel's success as an athlete has given him an opportunity to use his platform as a motivational speaker to help inspire people to get back up when they inevitably fall or fail, overcome the obstacles they will face in life, and never stop pursuing their God-given dreams.
