"Everyone's got a shark in their story. People often want to make the story about the shark. The truth is, it's not the size of the shark that really matters. It's the strength of your Savior, and that's what our story is. It's not a shark story. It's a little boy who had big faith in an even greater God. Face your fear by faith. The key of faith always unlocks the door of fear. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom." - Jameson Reeder Sr.

 

The Reeder family's testimony is such a powerful reminder that even the most fearsome challenges can be faced and conquered with God. Thank you, Reeder family, for allowing me to share your miracle testimony!
