In today's episode, we explore the incredible resilience and unyielding spirit of Sam Jarmer, when, at age 16, from Ocean Grove, NJ, Sam's life took an unexpected turn with a life-altering Spinal Cord Injury accident that left him paralyzed from the chest down, C6. Formerly an active skateboarder and surfer, as well as dedicated altar server at his church, Sam's journey through recovery stands as a testament to the strength of the human spirit facing suffering head on. With the steadfast support of his family and the unwavering solidarity of his community, Sam embarked on a courageous path, determined to not only regain mobility and to walk, but also to inspire others facing similar challenges. Join us as we uncover the story of Sam's determination and the transformative power of faith in the face of adversity.  And Bonsai Tree lovers, you're also in for a treat!
