Episode 174 - Miraculous Journey of Survival & Radical Forgiveness: Chris Carrier's Testimony
Trigger Warning: This extraordinary miracle story contains mention of non-graphic, contextual violence.
Abducted as a fifth grader, Chris was abducted. He survived a brutal attack being stabbed multiple times, shot in the head, and left for dead in the Florida everglades’ alligator alley (alligators and pythons). Miraculously, he was found alive six days later. Years later, Chris faced his attacker, David McAllister, and chose to forgive him. This episode delves into Chris's journey of faith, healing, and the transformative power of forgiveness, offering hope and encouragement to anyone struggling with their own burdens of unforgiveness.
