Faith Through Adversity w/ Gary Miracle

If today's conversation doesn't move you, I don't know what will.  My guest today has a story that could have ended in tragedy, yet instead ended in triumph.  It is a story of life and death, of dark and light, of fear and hope.  Life, light, and hope win in this one. Today's conversation is deeply rooted in the Christian faith and what it means to trust in God and to live for God.  It is a conversation, a guest, and a story that will impact lives and change perspectives.

My guest today is Gary Miracle. Gary is a Christian and motivational speaker. He is also an example of what it means to be a fighter. When Gary was 39, he got very ill and fell into septic shock. He was placed in a coma with a 1.7% chance of survival. His family and friends were told to say their goodbyes. After a transfer to a new hospital, he flatlined. Gary died for 11 minutes. Yet, by the grace of God, he was revived. He was placed on a form of life support that left his arms and legs without blood. While it saved his life, his extremities were amputated from the elbows and knees down. However, he did not let this stop him. Today, he lives a full life. He inspires others with his story of life and God’s goodness through his speeches and podcast.  He is a friend to anyone struggling, and he encourages us to be vulnerable and to live in our true selves as God created us. He has a deep relationship with Jesus, a rich family life, and an inspiring message for everyone to hear.

In this episode, Gary shares the details of his story.  From there, he and I discuss what his life was like before the event, and how it changed after. We talk about how his faith grew with his new chance at life.  Gary gives insight into what it looks like to trust God.  He answers the question of whether or not he questioned God's work in his life. Gary doesn't just explain his story; he also shows how his new perspective applies to everyone's lives, giving the audience profound value. He encourages everyone to live in a state of vulnerability that allows us to be true to ourselves and find strength through solid community.  Stay until the end to hear Gary answer my final question with heart.
