"Why in the world is this happening?"

That was the question Austin Gardner was asking from a hospital bed after waking up from a three-week coma. Having lost 70 pounds and his sense of reality, Austin found himself in a battle not just for his physical health, but for his faith.

In this episode, Austin shares the raw details of his recovery from COVID and cancer. From the "funny" therapists who had to teach him how to think again to the surreal dreams of floating under continents, Austin describes the mental and spiritual fog of a drug-induced stupor. Most importantly, he recounts a life-changing encounter with a mysterious woman who challenged him to trade his anger for a testimony of grace.

Whether you are seeking restoration or just need to know you aren’t alone in your pain, this episode is a reminder that God’s love finds us even in our most desperate moments.
