On August 11, 2023, Hannah’s life changed forever. On the way to a music festival, a head-on collision took the life of her boyfriend, Brock, and left Hannah with over 42 broken bones, a severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), and multiple flatlines. Doctors told her family she would never walk, see clearly, or live independently again. 

In this powerful episode of Rise 'N Shine, Hannah shares her raw and inspiring journey: from waking up months later needing to relearn the alphabet at age 24, to wrestling with faith and anger at God, to experiencing miraculous physical and spiritual healing through prayer, scriptures, and community support.

If you are walking through intense grief, chronic pain, or impossible trials, Hannah’s story is a profound reminder that with faith in Jesus Christ, you can rise above your challenges and find light even in the darkest valleys.

Facing the Reality of Death: A Spiritual Awakening

In this powerful episode, Ben joins us for a raw and honest conversation about the moment death stopped being a distant thought and became a transformative reality. We often spend our lives avoiding the topic of mortality, but what happens when you finally look it in the eye?

Ben shares his deeply personal journey of moving from a place of fear and "grey thoughts" to a life-changing realization: through Jesus Christ, death has lost its power. This isn't just a story about the end of life; it’s a testimony about finding a more vibrant, purposeful way to live today.

In this video, we explore:

• The specific moment Ben's perspective on mortality shifted.
• How facing the reality of death can actually refine your faith.
• Finding peace and surrender in the midst of life's most difficult seasons.
• The hope we have in Christ that transcends the grave.

Whether you are navigating a season of grief, facing your own fears, or simply seeking a deeper spiritual connection, Ben’s story is a reminder that there is a profound peace waiting for us when we surrender our lives—and our ends—to God.

Your trials aren't just for you—they are perfectly chosen opportunities to help bring someone else safely through theirs.

In this episode of the Rise’N Shine Podcast, we dive into the core mission of this community: using our experiences to help others through the "storms of life." I share why I believe God allows us to face tribulations—not just as a test, but so that we can fulfill our obligation to "mourn with those that mourn" and "comfort those that stand in need of comfort."

In this video, we explore:

The Scriptural Why: A breakdown of 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 and Mosiah 18:8-9 on our duty to share the comfort we've received.

The Plan of Happiness: A powerful quote from Henry B. Eyring on how our trials were chosen for us so we could help others.

A Direct Call to Action: Why I (and God) need your help to reach people who are waiting for your specific story.

You have no idea the impact you can make. You might just be the answer to someone’s prayer, or even the one who saves a life by sharing how you got through the dark.

✨ Be the Light: If you are willing to share your previous or current trials on the podcast to bless others, please reach out to me.
