After a devastating boating accident left him fighting for his life, Dave Conord was told by doctors that they had never seen anyone survive injuries like his.
As Dave lay bleeding on the floor of a boat waiting for help, his future hung in the balance. He would eventually lose an eye, endure years of surgeries and recovery, and face challenges that could have easily left him bitter and broken.
Instead, God used the tragedy to transform his faith, bring his wife to Christ, and teach him what it truly means to trust God through suffering.
In this powerful conversation, Dave shares:
• The boating accident that nearly took his life
• The miraculous circumstances that spared him
• Losing his eye and rebuilding his life
• Experiencing God's peace in the middle of unimaginable pain
• How his wife came to faith in Jesus
• Why he chose to forgive the man responsible
Whether you're facing uncertainty, suffering, loss, or a season where God feels distant, this testimony is a powerful reminder that God is faithful and present even in our darkest moments.
