Welcome to the Eric Matexas show with your host Eric Matexas.

Oh hello folks today is Wednesday the Olympics is happening evidently.

I haven't been watching the Olympics.

It's in Tokyo Bay.

I really don't even know where it is happening but actually I do.

But listen I'm really excited because I have as my guest an Olympic champion and way

more than an Olympic champion.

Where do I begin?

Before I introduce him I will just tell you Albin and I have mentioned this Jim Ryan

who's my guest he was a congressman from Kansas from 1996 to 2007 but that doesn't begin

to describe him.

He was probably the greatest high school athlete in the United States of America in any sport.

Maybe that's debatable but believe me there are people who would say that.

He's the first high schooler ever to break four minutes in the mile in high school in the

early 60s.

He's a legend in the world of track and field and he is my guest Jim.

Welcome to the program.

Eric is great to be on with you.

I'll never forget when I met you I met you at Chuck Colson's Memorial service.

I don't know if that's about eight or nine or ten years ago.

I can't remember when it was but honestly I was so thrilled to meet you.

I couldn't believe that I was meeting you I didn't know that you were a professing Christian
