Boudia, 28, is an outspoken Christian and said that his faith played a key role in his entire decision process to rest and then return.
“I think it’s no secret my faith is my No. 1 driver,” Boudia said. “So being able to see how many people I could impact on this big stage, it’s a huge responsibility. There’s lot of weight to it, and I just want to try to be as faithful as I can. I believe God has given me this platform to be able to use it for Him. That’s a big driver on why I want to continue on this, to be that positive influence.”
