How Do You Face An Unthinkable Tragedy and Choose To Stand Back Up
A POSITIVE STORY....IN NEGATIVE TIMES When rising college soccer coach Scott Martin was struck by a rare, flesh-eating infection that took both hands and parts of his feet, doctors told him he was lucky to survive. But survival was not enough. Overnight, the man who lived for the game had to relearn how to move, teach, and live—without the very tools that once defined him. From hospital beds and courtroom battles to the touchline of a dusty youth-league field, Martin's twenty-five-year journey is one of heartbreak and rebirth. He rebuilt his body, lost—and found—his purpose, and, when everything seemed over again, rediscovered his passion by leading a ragtag team of twelve-year-olds to an undefeated state championship. Scott Martin is an award-winning soccer coach, educator, and advocate for the disability community. With an advanced national coaching license, he has coached at the youth, high school, and college levels for over 30 years, earning Coach of the Year honors four times and leading multiple teams to state championships. His expertise has connected him with top coaches in the U.S. and internationally. Beyond the field, Martin is a dedicated educator in Wisconsin and the host of the Life's a Road Trip podcast, where he highlights stories of resilience and disability advocacy. He has become a powerful voice for amputee abilities and prosthetic advancements. His contributions to research at the University of Washington and Johns Hopkins University have helped shape innovations in the field.

How to Transition from Darkness to God's Revealing Light
After becoming deeply involved in New Age practices, Karla Callan hit rock bottom and resolved to leave that life behind. Overwhelmed by despair and living in fear, she called on God. After eighteen years of involvement in witchcraft and four years in New Age practices, Karla Callan found freedom. She has since written seven books and now hosts two podcasts. "I've faced two moments of deep hopelessness. The first came when I hit rock bottom after becoming deeply involved in New Age practices and wanted to leave that life entirely. The second came when I awoke under severe spiritual warfare that felt inescapable. I experienced utter despair and felt completely separated from God; it was one of the scariest moments of my life. Even then, I knew all I had to do was call on Jesus." This interview is worth hearing more than once—and sharing with friends. Karla was motivated to change her life after reaching a breaking point in the New Age world. She had pursued one "next level" after another, yet none led to a truly satisfying life. Her story offers a cautionary perspective on what is happening in the church today and how easily New Age practices can enter Christian settings. Karla Callan founded Karla Callan Ministries and the Formation Discipleship Program.
