I love sharing my life with my fans/followers. In this season of growing, I have learned that the only thing that truly matters is what God thinks of me. I made the decision to rededicate my life to Jesus and today I was baptized! My heart is full of so much love and happiness and I’m just so thankful for everything God is doing and going to do in my life. Thank you for all those who have loved and supported me throughout my life, you mean so much to me!
About a week ago, Lochte shared a reel about social media and the need to pray over life’s circumstances instead of posting everything online. “Pray about it. Don’t post about it,” he wrote.
Lochte is the latest person in the limelight to discuss coming to faith. During a recent press conference, UFC star Conor McGregor shared that he is “[living] my life by God’s Word…I’m saved, I’m healed.”
Other stars like Kat Von D, Daddy Yankee and Angela White (Blac Chyna) have discussed their decision to come to Jesus in recent years. Prior to his death, Hulk Hogan also rededicated his life to Christ, with his baptism going viral.
