Episode 39: Radical Redemption Miracle - with Robert Decker

Apr 2

Robert Decker endured more trials in his childhood than most endure in a lifetime. His dysfunctional childhood included periods of neglect, substance abuse, and violence. The years of sadness, pain, anger, and hopelessness culminated in a failed suicide attempt.

At his lowest point, Robert found himself in a hospital bed with multiple serious injuries, and told he would never walk again. He was handcuffed to his hospital bed, accused of a crime he did not commit. It was in this pit of despair that God spoke to Robert in a powerful way. With God's help, everything changed. He was able to turn his story into one of forgiveness, understanding, and love. His desire is to inspire, encourage, and give hope to those who have had similar battles.

Today Robert is happily married and living in Colorado Springs with his two young children. He is a husband, father, health coach, fitness trainer, inspirational speaker, and author. He is passionate about helping others.

My favorite take aways from Robert:
"You are NOT alone. You are LOVED."
"There is purpose and hope for all of our lives."
"In the midst of trials and hurt there is opportunity for growth."
"Allow your heart to be changed. Address the things that hurt so that healing can take place. FORGIVENESS is huge."
"Surround yourself with people that truly care about you."
"DON'T give up!"
"When you receive healing...go out and HELP other people. There is nothing more gratifying than that!"

Thank you, Rob, for sharing this deeply personal testimony. I am blessed to hear your faith (and healing) journey after so much heartache. You are undoubtedly an inspiration to many!

Let the redeemed of the LORD tell their story— those he redeemed from the hand of the foe.
