Summary

Read by the author.

What fears are standing in your way or holding you back? How do you want to become stronger? Olympic and World champion hurdler Sydney McLaughlin wants to help you answer these questions as she shares her personal story of struggles and victories, of faith and transformation.

Sydney McLaughlin knows about facing down obstacles. She has mastered not only racing over hurdles on the track but also tackling challenges in her personal life—from lifelong battles with perfectionism and anxiety to persistent questions about her identity and whether she was "enough."

Her pursuit of perfection and people-pleasing continued for years until God broke into her story with his overwhelming grace, transforming love, and empowering truth.

In Far Beyond Gold, Sydney will share aspects of her life story and personhood she has never shared publicly before, offering a more complex picture of who she is. She will inspire you to:

  • Conquer your fears in Christ's strength
  • Stand strong in your identity in him
  • Push past your perceived limits
  • Overcome the challenges you're facing

Experience the story of a woman who shifted from anxiety to boldness, from limits to freedom, and from perfectionism to purpose—and now shows the world that often what we think is impossible is possible with God.

A great testimony of faith

a big thanks to Sydney (and Andre) for this inspiring witness. Their signposting to Christ present today shines through Sydney's story. That witness, evident in her interviews at Paris 2024, was, for me, the greatest joy of the Olympics.

Beautiful faith led testimony from anxiety to belief

I listened to this book in an afternoon. I couldn’t put it down. Thank you for sharing your story, your wisdom, your journey in a way that honours Jesus and the bible. I thoroughly enjoyed the verses you shared that supported your challenges and learnings. I’m inspired to give myself deeper into the glory of god and his plan for me.

Incredible story because of Jesus

Incredible story

Finished this book in less than 5 days

Started it just before the 400m Hurdle final in Olympics 2024

And finished it 2 days after Sydney won gold again, smashing Femke and breaking the world record

What a human
What a book
What a God
