Christian Anchor Breaks Silence On Supernatural Encounter
Christian sports anchor and former “SportsCenter” host Sage Steele shared a profound personal journey with students at Liberty University, revealing her belief that a freak accident involving a golf ball knocking out eight of her teeth at the PGA Championship in May 2022 was a spiritual test orchestrated by the devil. This incident occurred just weeks after she filed a lawsuit against her former employer, ESPN, for what she perceived as retaliation to silence her.
Reflecting on the controversy surrounding her criticism of ESPN’s COVID-19 vaccination policy and her remarks on racial identity, Steele recounted her decision to stand up for her beliefs despite facing repercussions from her employer. She explained how she was removed from the air, suspended, and asked to apologize after expressing her views on a podcast.
Steele recalled the pivotal moment when she was struck by the golf ball, initially interpreting it as a sign from God to remain silent and cease her fight for justice. However, she recognized these doubts as the influence of evil, realizing that her resilience was necessary to combat attempts to intimidate her into silence.
Amidst the challenges she faced, including learning to speak with new teeth after the accident, Steele found solace in her faith and the support of her parents’ prayers. Drawing on her Catholic upbringing, she invoked the protection of St. Michael the Archangel and relied on daily prayer to overcome fear and adversity in her workplace.
Despite ultimately settling her lawsuit with ESPN and departing from the network, Steele emphasized the blessings she has experienced since leaving, describing her newfound freedom as a profound gift.
Her story serves as a testament to the power of faith, resilience, and speaking the truth with grace in the face of adversity.
