TRUTH Talk with Stu Epperson

What can happen in just 12 seconds? For Marine pilot Matthew Currin, 12 seconds changed everything. On this powerful episode of Truth Talk Live, Matthew shares the deeply personal story behind his new book, 12 Seconds Changed Everything: Why Your Story Matters. In 2001, a helicopter mishap claimed the lives of three Marines, including Matthew's close friend and combat crew chief, Sgt. Clark Beatty. What followed was a journey through grief, trauma, survivor's remorse, moral injury, faith, and ultimately redemption. Matthew opens up about the years that followed—including military service, deployment, Air Medical flight missions, career setbacks, cancer, and the challenges of putting his experiences into words. Rather than allowing trauma to define his life, he chose to honor his friend's memory by telling the story and using his experiences to help others. In this conversation, Matthew and Stu explore how we can respond to the painful chapters of life, why vulnerability and community matter, how faith gives us hope in the darkest moments, and how God can turn our tests into testimonies and our messes into messages. If you've experienced trauma, loss, disappointment, or simply wondered whether your story has a purpose, this episode will remind you that you are not alone, your story matters, and God can use even the hardest chapters for His glory.
