AJ had a normal life as a college student-athlete. But one night, a violent car accident left AJ paralyzed from the waist down. 


What started as 15 minutes of hell has transformed into what he calls “The best thing that’s happened to me.” 


In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • The detailed story of the accident and the unexplainable emotions he experienced in the minutes after the accident

  • The two things that helped him cope and beat feeling like a perpetual victim

  • What AJ said to the driver of the vehicle and the miracles and transformations that have resulted from his injury


If you’ve endured trauma, a horrible injury, or you’re just going through an intense season of suffering, this episode is for you.
