When times get tough, tragedy strikes or things take a turn for the worst, how do you keep faith that everything will turn out ok?
Today, that’s what our very own Breakthrough Academy coach Ian Ouwerkerk is joining me to discuss.
On August 29th, 2008 on their way to a wedding, Ian, his mum and his dad were T-boned by a car going 70 miles an hour. The accident left Ian with a severed carotid artery plus 11 ribs and both his collar bones broken. And the list of injuries goes on.
He died and came back multiple times through this harrowing event.
Today, he’s generously opening up about his accident, miraculous recovery and the life lessons he learned from the tragic experience.
We talk about how to cultivate resilience, perspective, and faith in life’s most challenging seasons.
