Since its founding, Biola has been committed to equipping men and women to serve the world for the Lord Jesus Christ. During National Women's History month this March, Biola is highlighting prominent Biola women through different celebrations, including honoring three Biola women with Ruby Awards for excellence in teaching and mentoring, in leadership and wisdom, and in obedience and servanthood. This year, Biola is focusing on the theme of “Courage and Calling” for women’s history month celebrations.

Among the Biola women who embody this theme is recent graduate Natasha Miller, who showcases "Courage and Calling" in her pursuit of becoming an Olympic athlete. Training for the 2016 Olympics in Brazil, Miller faces the challenges of training for the world's most renowned sporting event and answers the Lord's calling on her life with courage, constantly inspired by the word.

Watch Miller’s story of how she courageously stays in the race as she runs toward a hopeful appearance in the 2016 Olympic Games.
