IFI is honored to welcome Riley Gaines to our fall banquet. With bold faith, she has stood firm for biblical truth in the face of intense transgender controversy, courageously defending the integrity of women’s sports. Riley’s steadfastness under pressure inspires hope for this generation, offering a powerful example that continues to shape our state, our nation, and the future of faith and family.
Watch this powerful 38-minute YouTube interview with Riley for a glimpse into her testimony of faith in Christ. She shares how keeping Jesus at the center of her life has strengthened her through challenges— from competing against a biological male athlete at the University of Kentucky to facing fear and intimidation meant to silence her. Riley also reflects on how being thrust into the national spotlight has deepened her faith and resolve to stand for truth.
