What happens when life throws you not one, but two life-altering tragedies, and you survive them both?

Bethany and Adam sit down with their close friend Matt Manzari, a former professional wakeskater whose life was radically changed after two near-fatal accidents, one a catastrophic head injury, the other a 12,000-volt electrocution. But Matt's story isn’t just about surviving. It’s about redefining identity, reclaiming joy, and pointing everything back to the goodness and grace of God.

Matt shares how he went from chasing success and sponsorships to finding his true identity in Christ, how trauma reshaped his theology of suffering, and how his family now lives out intentional faith through weekly sabbaths, deep conversations, and wild outdoor adventures. You'll hear his insights on parenting, purpose, and the "unfair" grace of a God who walks with us through the fire.
