A 24-year-old Polish tennis player arrived in Paris last week ranked 114th in the world, with no sponsors, no guaranteed income, and no certainty she could even pay for her hotel room.
She had to win three qualifying matches just to enter the French Open main draw. Prize money is only paid at the end of the tournament, so a Polish sports drink brand quietly stepped in and covered her hotel bill.
Her name is Maja Chwalinska. And today, she plays in the French Open final.
Before this tournament, she had won exactly one Grand Slam main draw match in her entire career. She had battled depression so severe that in 2021 she couldn't get out of bed. She underwent knee surgery in 2022. She spent years grinding through small tournaments across Europe just to stay afloat.
Then she arrived in Paris, won three qualifiers, and kept winning. Zheng Qinwen. Elise Mertens. Maria Sakkari. Diana Shnaider. Nine straight matches. One set dropped.
She is now the first qualifier in French Open history to reach the final. The last time a qualifier reached a Grand Slam final, it was Emma Raducanu at the 2021 US Open. Raducanu won.
By simply making the final, Chwalinska has earned more prize money than her entire career combined. The runner-up cheque alone is $1.6 million. If she wins today, she takes home $3.25 million.
One week ago she couldn't pay for her hotel room.
How on earth do you go from being a church boy from a Christian home devoted to God, to becoming a full blown Gay & even the face of LGBTQ…
What a Transformation
I did not meet Jesus in a church. And I definitely was not looking for Him.
I was not saved by a pastor.
I met Jesus while reading the Quran.
And the wildest part was this:
He was already there.
Surah 3:45 calls Him the Messiah, honored in this world and the next.
Surah 4:171 calls Him a word from Allah and a spirit from Him.
Surah 3:49 says He gives life to the dead, heals the blind and the leper, and creates from clay.
And I remember sitting there thinking:
There is no way this is “just another prophet.”
So I compared Him to Muhammad because I had to.
One gives life.
The other led wars.
One is called sinless.
The other prayed for forgiveness.
One raises the dead.
The other could not overcome death himself.
And I started asking questions I was never supposed to ask:
Why is Jesus the only one called the Messiah?
Why is He the only one born of a virgin?
Why is He the only one coming back to judge the world?
Why does the Quran give Jesus divine titles but never fully explain them?
That tension wrecked me intellectually.
Because the same book telling me not to worship Jesus could not stop elevating Him above every other prophet.
And eventually I realized something:
I did not leave Islam because I hated it.
I left because I followed the clues honestly.
And every single one of them led me to Jesus Christ.
Outside of football shenanigans from the weekend, we have a country to save.
Apparently, all of our joint public advocacy - are pushing needles in the right direction.

Please pass this on.
HEARTBREAKING: Her 10-month-old baby was cut in half with a knife in front of her, her husband shot dead, and she watched them split her second child's skull with a machete. They also cut off one of her hands.
This is life for Christians in Nigeria. The media remains silent.
🚨Only 8 clubs have won the Champions League unbeaten.
The ONLY club to do it twice? Manchester United. 🏆🏆
Meanwhile, Arsenal became the first team in history to reach the final unbeaten TWICE and still lose the trophy. 🥈🥈
There are LEVELS to this game. 😭🔴
🧐 | The strategy was clear
Arsenal reached some unwanted milestones against PSG today:
• Lowest possession in a #UCLfinal since 2003/04 (24%)
• Fewest shots on target in a #UCLfinal since 2021 (1)
• Fewest shots in a #UCLfinal since 2022 (7)
• Fewest passes in a #UCLfinal since 2019 (285)
• Lowest xG in a #UCLfinal since 2023 (0.44)
The right tactical approach, or could things have gone differently? 🤔
