In this powerful episode, I sit down with Tim Hunt, whose journey through FSHD muscular dystrophy, respiratory failure, and a silent ICU season became the catalyst for his calling as a Christian author. Tim shares how faith, prayer, and unexpected “angels” helped awaken a novel decades in the making. We explore Fields of Faith, a faith-filled historical novel, and dive into practical insights on self-publishing, writing with disability, and author resilience. Tim also opens up about setbacks while currently writing Echoes of Faith, anchoring the conversation in Scripture, creativity, and God’s strength in weakness. This episode is for anyone feeling unheard, discouraged, or called to create; offering hope, purpose, and the courage to take the next step.

And I know that you guys who are listening are going to really be encouraged by his voice today. So Tim, would you be open to just sharing a little bit about yourself before we get into your story?

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, good morning, Candace. Thank you so much. Thank you so much for having me today.

SPEAKER_05:

You're welcome.

SPEAKER_00:

Not sure how much you'd want to hear, but um 57. I um I've been teaching Sunday school for the past 20-some odd years at the church. My dad pastors in uh between Point Blank and New Waverly called Pine Valley Baptist Church. Um I uh live life in a wheel from a wheelchair. I have muscular dystrophy. Um diagnosed when I was 12 years old.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh wow.

SPEAKER_00:

FSHD. Um here the past 10 years or so I um started spending basically 24 seven in my wheelchair um.

SPEAKER_04:

Okay.

SPEAKER_00:

But I didn't I don't let it defy me. I don't that's not yeah, and um you know uh God can still use the you know, the Bible says that God you chooses the base things of the world to confound the wise. Yes, yes me and um I try to you know just be a a tool that God can use. And here lately I've uh come to find an avenue that God has re revealed in me in writing.

SPEAKER_01:

Okay.

SPEAKER_00:

That um it seems like uh that's where uh I hear him the most, it's where he speaks to me the most.

SPEAKER_02:

Oh, that's amazing. Can I can I go back for a second? Um, for those who are listening, um, they might be wondering what is muscular dystrophy? Could you just give just a little bit of information to the listeners who maybe don't know what that means?

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, well, there's many different kinds of muscular dystrophy. Um, but basically what it is, it's a muscle uh degenerative disease. It's genetic. Um about 70 people, 70% of the people are are born uh with a genetic mutation, other you know, 30 percent. And um something happens in their life and they're you know diagnosed at a later age. For me, um, when I was in the sixth grade, I had uh rheumatic fever. Oh basically a weak heart valve.

SPEAKER_02:

Oh, weak heart valve, okay.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, and I was in the hospital in um Texas Children's Hospital for a month.

SPEAKER_01:

Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_00:

Sixth grade and seventh grade year. Okay, our month of June. And then um when I was released, they gave me a prescription of penicillin for five years.

SPEAKER_02:

For five years?

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, supposedly it was a low dose of penicillin. Okay that following February upper body muscles had deteriorated and I was diagnosed with the with the muscular dysp. FSH, which is face it's a hard word to bring scapular, um upper body, okay, muscles, face, um, you know, shoulders, arms, chest. Um well, in February I was diagnosed with the muscular dystrophy. And for that most part, most of my life I was, you know, it was normal. I could do, you know, whatever.

SPEAKER_02:

Uh my legs were fine, I could walk and you know, I'm getting older and get older, get weaker, and so what was that like as a sixth, seventh grader to because were you able to use your arms at that point?

SPEAKER_00:

Oh yeah, I could still I could still use okay. You know, I was fairly normal, lived a normal life all the way up to my early 40s, mid forties.

SPEAKER_01:

Okay.

SPEAKER_00:

Um, I just couldn't like raise my hands, my arms were head, okay.

SPEAKER_04:

Okay.

SPEAKER_00:

Of course I've gotten weaker. Uh and actually years later found out, uh probably 2017 or so, that I do a lot of research. I'm actually a wellness coach. I do a lot of research on natural pathic wellness.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, awesome. I love that.

SPEAKER_00:

Um found out that the muscle dystry was caused actually by the penicillin.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, I was wondering about it the connection there. Um the five years being on that. Like did did anybody just like beyond you finding it out, has anybody like confirmed that with you before?

SPEAKER_00:

No. Um and actually how I put two and two together was uh there was a um a docuseries that came out like in 2017, 2016.

SPEAKER_02:

Okay.

SPEAKER_00:

Interconnected.

SPEAKER_02:

What is it called?

SPEAKER_00:

Inter Interconnected.

SPEAKER_02:

Interconnected, okay.

SPEAKER_00:

Dr. Pendram Sojai was okay. Um I don't I don't think you can find it anymore. I've got actually the it's a 10-part series. I've got it on my YouTube.

SPEAKER_02:

Oh, you do? Okay. So it wouldn't be something we could share with people.

SPEAKER_00:

Uh well, I can share mine. They could go, I mean, I have it available on my YouTube.

SPEAKER_02:

Okay. We'll we'll talk about that later. We'll see if we can get access.

SPEAKER_00:

It's actually in and you know, back then, this 1980.

SPEAKER_04:

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_00:

Um, you know, 78 to 80, somewhere around there. You know, they didn't know what all they know now about the gut and how important it is your overall health. I mean, your entire almost your entire immune system is located in your gut, at least 80%. And so many strains of bacteria in there, and they don't even know what they do.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

Like the ocean. There's just so much untapped that they don't have any idea.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah. So you you learned this back what, eight years ago or so. Um I imagine that took you on a little journey. What did that look like for you?

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah. Well, I mean, I I I tried to find out all that I can. I I called the hospital and I I don't have the records of what the actual penicillin was, but which kind it was, and they didn't, it had been more than 20 years, so they didn't have the records. Oh, okay. You know, I really I thought there's so many different things that they have nowadays. It's um I had originally wanted to do a procedure. It's called a i it sounds kind of weird or nasty, but it's it it really it works amazing. Uh it's called a and there's different names for it. It's called a one name is called an FMT. It's called a hintomicrobial transplant. And it's it sounds weird. They take feces from a normal, healthy person. Okay, they clean it and they put it in the solution, and basically what they do is you can get in the pill form or or like an enemotype or colonoscopy type procedure where you basically reseed your gut.

SPEAKER_01:

Oh wow. I never heard of that.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, there is so many um just success stories. Um autistic children, they're non-verbal becoming verbal.

SPEAKER_04:

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_00:

There was uh one lady that I spoke to in Canada, uh, they were actually doing a um some research on her story because she did it herself.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh.

SPEAKER_00:

And she was bipolar. And she had been just for years, and she had been so many medications and nothing's to help, and she was completely cured.

SPEAKER_02:

Oh my goodness.

SPEAKER_00:

And so I mean you can't do it in the uh in the US.

SPEAKER_02:

Oh, you can't. It's not surprising.

SPEAKER_00:

No, but there's a there's a a clinic in Canada that would do it, but it's just you know, it's so expensive.

SPEAKER_02:

And is it what I thought? So is it like a one-time deal then? Like you would go on something for like 30 days, or what does that look like?

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, you do like different like a set of different treatments, do it several times, okay, depending on their condition. Um, but my thought was yeah, penicillin killed or took out whatever at a at the you know, 11-year-old boy. Right. Penicillin killed, because we know antibiotics kill your gut flora. Yes. And so my thought was whatever the penicillin killed or did to that regulates muscle growth.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, wow.

SPEAKER_00:

If it could be replaced, then maybe that would have the reverse effect.

SPEAKER_02:

Okay. Wow. You know, it's that's so interesting. I like, are you are you being led to do that at some point?

SPEAKER_00:

Uh I think I would still like to. I you know, I'm but I'm you know, I'm content.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

You know, the Bible tells us that whatever state we're in to be content. You know, if the Lord leads it to that, I would be also I'd be willing to try, but if not, then you know, um I won't be in this body forever.

SPEAKER_02:

Right. This is true, right? Um I would love for you to, you know, tell us a little bit more of maybe your experience. I know you said just how many years have you been um in a wheelchair fully?

SPEAKER_00:

Probably 2016, 2017 is when I started just staying full-time.

SPEAKER_04:

Okay.

SPEAKER_00:

Um in it now. I uh and now I'm just um I mean I can't I'm not ambul I'm not ambulatory anymore. Uh I can't uh as a matter of fact, um back in August, one of my biggest fears actually came to fruition.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh no.

SPEAKER_00:

And my wheelchair um it stopped working. It um was at church.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

We had fellowship and it was raining hard that day.

SPEAKER_01:

Okay.

SPEAKER_00:

And it's going across, you know, to the fellowship hall and had an umbrella.

SPEAKER_03:

Oh no.

SPEAKER_00:

For whatever reason, it shorted out, and then um that was one of my biggest fears. Luckily, or I thank the Lord, yeah, uh, I had given my my older chair to my parents for them to use in case they needed it around their house. And so uh my wife was able to go get that. But it took, you know, five, my wife and four other church members to help get me over to the oh wow. To the other chair, but thank the Lord. Prayed and I prayed and prayed. Yeah, the Lord that uh the next day it dried out enough it started working.

SPEAKER_02:

Oh, it did. Wow. Oh my gosh. So it's working still?

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, it's still working, yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

Okay.

SPEAKER_00:

But now I know what this next time it's raining I'm putting a plastic bag or something.

SPEAKER_02:

Right, right. Oh well, well, tell us a little bit about you know your journey and like what does it look like? You know, I I obviously am not in a wheelchair, and you know, I'd maybe just tell us like kind of the inner, like what does your day look like? And maybe for those who you know are in a wheelchair, I've had um a couple of gals on here that um have also, you know, they they're walking through some like challenges themselves. And you know, I'm just thinking of somebody who maybe is in a wheelchair and like maybe they're not, you know, having hope. And you know, this Hope Unlocked podcast is all about bringing hope to people. So what does it look like for you? Have you had days that um you've had hopelessness or or anything like that? Could you just tell us a little bit, maybe more the real and raw side of um what it looks like for you?

SPEAKER_00:

Oh yeah, of course. There's always there's always days that um, you know, I question and ask God why. But um, you know, he's my strength and my hope. And so that um I tell people this all the time, you know, I don't know much, but I know there's always a purpose to the bear. God give it all of us crosses the bear.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

And you know, I'll find and that's what I'll find in my writing, that's where I'll find my east.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

When I can you know, when I can write about uh you know what like that's what I do.

SPEAKER_02:

I pour myself into my writing in my poems and so when did you discover you had a writing gift? Have you always known that you had a writing gift, or was it like you had a day where you just all of a sudden were like, I I feel like the Lord's calling me to write? What did that look like for you to step into writing?

SPEAKER_00:

Well, uh it's kind of um because I always wrote a little bit, you know, I'll do a porn. I've written a few poems and stuff.

SPEAKER_04:

Okay.

SPEAKER_00:

Um, but not a lot. And here, um, and years ago, God put on my heart a uh idea for a novel.

SPEAKER_01:

Okay.

SPEAKER_00:

Uh I read verse Psalm 99. Um that says, you know, it says um we spend our years as a tale that is told. I thought, like, you know, that'd be a good start for a novel. And uh, you know, God put that on my heart, and I just never didn't do anything with it. You know, I've thought about it over the years, but it's like I can't write a novel, that's ridiculous.

SPEAKER_02:

Say that again. I feel like somebody needs to hear that.

SPEAKER_00:

I am the last person in the world you would think could write a novel.

SPEAKER_02:

I love that. Okay.

SPEAKER_00:

But you know, God had other plans.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

Just past Maine. Um, you know, sometimes it takes drastic measures for God to get through a thick head like mine.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

Um, I went to the hospital or to the doctor's office for a routine. I thought was I just thought I was a little congested. I thought I was gonna get some antibiotics, go home, and be done, but within a few hours my life changed completely.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, really?

SPEAKER_00:

It turns out my CO2 levels were extremely high. He said, You go to the immersion room right now. So I went, and then within hours, they give me um an antibiotic that basically caused respiratory failure. I stopped breathing twice.

SPEAKER_01:

Oh my goodness.

SPEAKER_00:

I spent the next 44 days in the hospital and uh um had to go undergo a tracheotomy, and it's just actually that's the that story is the epilogue to my book.

SPEAKER_04:

Really?

SPEAKER_00:

And that's what the catalyst was to start that. I was one of my quote unquote angels. He sent me two angels.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

Uh and the one was encouraged me to to write it. And I and by the time I got to the hospital, I had 10 or 11 chapters.

SPEAKER_02:

You did. So you you're writing in the hospital?

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, well, I had nothing else to do, so sure lay there. I mean, yeah, yeah, I had 10 or 11 chapters by the time I I left the hospital. Honestly, um, Kristen, that was that was totally a God thing. Um I feel like God wrote that through me. Yeah, because and the reason I say that is because it seemed like everything just came so natural.

SPEAKER_04:

Wow.

SPEAKER_00:

And now I'm writing the follow-up to that book. Everything's a lot more difficult. Right. So I'm I know God. That was all God.

SPEAKER_02:

Okay. Oh, wow. So did you like write it out, like writing it out or typing it out?

SPEAKER_00:

No, I do everything on my phone.

SPEAKER_02:

Oh, you do? Okay. So you just typed it out on like notes or something?

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, well, I have Word.

SPEAKER_02:

Uh oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

Okay. A lot of voice to text.

SPEAKER_02:

Got it. So you voice the text in like Microsoft Word doc or whatever it's called.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

Okay. You know, it's interesting. Today I had somebody asking me um specifically, like she just is having writer's block. And I I do talk to a lot of gals who I know have books in them, um, but they just are struggling to get the books out. What would you say to them?

SPEAKER_00:

Just uh believe in yourself. I mean, it's you know, I I this is the first time I've ever done this, and it was a you know a learning process. Uh but you know, if you I believe you can do anything you put your mind to.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

Uh and definitely God willing will equip equip you to accomplish something.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

You know, if you use it, I try to use everything for you know to the glory of God, and that's yeah. Um that's my you know, that's my passion, and now that's my purpose, I think.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah. So when you got done writing the book, like did you go back and read it and you were like, where did this even come from?

unknown:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

Did you have those moments of like, this came out of me?

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, right. I I I'm still that way. I mean, I'm still it's it's hard to believe that.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

I mean, it really hadn't sunk in that I'm a you know a published author.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah. Well, you gotta tell us the name of the book. I'm waiting.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh. So it's called Fields of Faith.

SPEAKER_02:

Fields of Faith.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, it's a historical uh Christian fiction. It's about a young lady back in the 18 mid-1800s, so era. It's about her journey of faith.

SPEAKER_04:

Okay.

SPEAKER_00:

Um and you know, go basically goes through her life, um, you know, her struggles, heries. Um like I said, a lot of myself was sporting in the back.

SPEAKER_01:

Okay.

SPEAKER_00:

Uh story uh some of it's based on some actual family history.

SPEAKER_04:

Okay.

SPEAKER_00:

Um yeah, uh and it's uh it's really catered to I think women would enjoy it more than Oh, you would, yeah. And it's I have a friend of mine, one of actually one of my angels, quote unquote angels. She read it and actually her seven-year-old daughter was reading it and she was 11 too. So it's it's good for young girls, you know, all the way up to okay.

SPEAKER_02:

Wow. So I'm just kind of curious. So you were like you were in the hospital, you're laying in your bed, and if I'm recalling, you had this novel idea years before. Um how many years before did that idea come to fruition?

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, probably my 20s.

SPEAKER_02:

Oh, really? In your 20s? So how many years like what was that?

SPEAKER_00:

Probably yeah, probably 30 years.

SPEAKER_02:

I mean 30 years. So you would have this thought coming into your mind, did like periodically. Um like, did you feel like you were getting a nudge and you just kind of ignored it?

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, pretty much. I mean, I would think about it, you know, uh, you know, like the storyline, how would I, you know, you know, what would happen, how would I play that out? And I just yeah, just kind of blew it off. Like, there's no way.

SPEAKER_04:

Wow.

SPEAKER_00:

And God said they're gonna write that.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

I've to put you in the hospital to do it.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah. Well, and you wouldn't you say too that there is a there's a timing aspect to to this. I mean, I I like to say, like, you know, I have some books that I have titles for that I I call it like they're on the bookshelf right now. They're literally like the idea is on the bookshelf. And right, I don't know about you, but I you know, I've had situations that come up and it's like, okay, and he's like now. It's like the Lord's like now. And it's like, oh yeah, we've got this thing on the bookshelf and it's now, even though it might be, you know, 10, 20 years sometimes, right?

SPEAKER_00:

Exactly, yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

The timing thing. We don't want to get ahead of him either.

SPEAKER_00:

This is true. This is true. Um, because um what's the thing? It's not a blessing if it's if it's uh not God's timing.

SPEAKER_02:

Right. Yeah.

unknown:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

And you don't want to like strive your way into like doing something either.

SPEAKER_00:

Exactly.

SPEAKER_02:

Because then it's not like I call it like Holy Ghostwriter. Then it's like, you know, you're just trying to, you know, press something out that isn't ready yet, because you you might have more content for your book because you need to actually go through something before it before it happens, right?

SPEAKER_00:

Oh yeah, oh yeah. I think um uh you're right. I mean, I I had to go through all that, I believe, to for for this to come to fruition. And and my my um at the end of the book and the epilogue, uh and if there's time later, if you don't mind, I would I'd love to read that for your listeners.

SPEAKER_02:

I think it would I would love for you to. Like I was gonna ask you if you wanted to read a poem or something that you've written, so this is perfect.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, um, and at the end, there's a prayer that I put, and then I offer I put at the very last you know, an invitation for if anybody you know doesn't know the Lord, I you know, offer an invitation for them to be saved and then encourage them to find a Bible believing church and start praying and learning.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

I'm hoping, you know, I'm hoping it's a tool that God can use to further his kingdom.

SPEAKER_02:

Yes, it already is.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

Wouldn't you say it?

SPEAKER_00:

I believe it, yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah. So how when did you release the book?

SPEAKER_00:

Um September is one.

SPEAKER_02:

September. Okay. And how much how much time between the time you're in the hospital and releasing the book?

SPEAKER_00:

Uh see, I got out of the hospital July 11th. And then September 25th.

SPEAKER_02:

Wow, that was really expedited. How did you how did you get it? I I like to call it birthing books. How did you birth the book so quickly?

SPEAKER_00:

Uh like that's like I said, it was all gone. It just everything just came to me. And uh I was writing so fast, and then I had it fashionally, you know, copy edited and roofread and all that. That took a month.

SPEAKER_04:

Okay.

SPEAKER_00:

Um and then I did the cover. Oh, you did, and everything myself.

SPEAKER_02:

Okay. So you have like an artistic flair as well?

SPEAKER_00:

Uh well, I've I've always been computer savvy.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

In college, I you know, I worked the computer services department, so software, you know, programs like Illustrator and things like that, I'm pretty good with. That's awesome. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

Okay.

SPEAKER_02:

So you had an editor, you did your cover. Um, did you have somebody who came along to publish your book then? Or did you do self-publishing?

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, I did self-publishing. I posted on Amazon. Okay. That's real easy. Well, I say easy.

SPEAKER_02:

They almost quote unquote.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

You figured it out, right?

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, lots of uh trial and error. I figured it out. And then uh they assigned, you know, the uh and it really just came down to a money thing because you know it's not cheap. Um to publish the book, it was you know about$1,400 to get it copy edited.

SPEAKER_01:

And oh wow.

SPEAKER_00:

Um but then it's free on Amazon to their King, their KDP, their Kindle Publishing platform, they just find ISBNs, and of course, you know, they they they what they do is they just they take a cut, print on demand, you order it and they print it and ship it. So it's real, it's real convenient.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah. So would you recommend people to kind of go that route if they're doing their first book? I know I have a friend um slash client who's recently come into being a book publisher. So I I would highly recommend using her, um, partly because she's helping publish my book that's coming out this month as well. My first book. Another unlikely author.

SPEAKER_00:

Right, right. I'll I'll bet it's uh it's gonna be amazing.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, it's fun.

SPEAKER_00:

Um what what's it is what's it about, if I may ask?

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, my book is um, I haven't even like fully divulged it and shared publicly yet, but um, it's called Fit for the Call. And I think one of my favorite chapters, it's actually more of like an interactive workbook, um, being that I'm I love to help people go deep and ask questions. Um so it's kind of a workbook, kind of a devotional slash, it's just very different. And that's how I know like the Lord helped to birth this book. Um, it was a title that I had on the bookshelf for quite a long time. I don't even know how many years, but it kind of became this um again, timing thing where I wrote it, and then my friend um launched her publishing company in August, um, which then kind of initiated me to be like, hey, would you like to do this for me? So all of all about timing, and um, I think my favorite chapters I love words. Um, he gives me words and kind of like does plays on words with me. Um, so it's called weight training, W-A-I-T training.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, okay, okay, cool.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, isn't that good?

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, that's good.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, yeah. Because I'm I'm a professional weight trainer. Yeah, it's good. So I'm excited to see what happens.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, awesome. Yeah, I'd love to read that.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, it's amazing. Well, let's get back to you. Um you said you have uh another uh like part two of your book coming out. When will that one be coming? Do you think?

SPEAKER_00:

Uh well, like I said, this is turning out to be a little harder. I think the devil is working against me because um read uh had about 13 chapters outlined. Okay. Excuse me. And then uh my word my app started, the word app started acting crazy.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh no.

SPEAKER_00:

I thought, well, I'll just delete it and reinstall it. And I and because I had and it came up with an error message, you'll lose all your data.

SPEAKER_04:

Okay.

SPEAKER_00:

I said, well, that's no problem. I got everything saved on my phone.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

Uh no.

SPEAKER_02:

It didn't save it.

unknown:

It didn't.

SPEAKER_00:

I lost it. All health at all.

SPEAKER_02:

Oh no.

SPEAKER_00:

But um now I saved everything to the my OneDrive. So I've got Okay. I've got it. And actually, you know, it turned out to be a blessing because I added a prologue to the new this is the follow-up to Fields of Faith. It's called Echoes of Faith.

SPEAKER_01:

Wow, I love it.

SPEAKER_00:

And it's set in the more modern era, and it's how the um protagonist from Fields of Faith, her name is Hannah. And it's how it shows how her uh she knows in the in the book she writes in her journal. Um and then years later, this next book. It's how her faith carries down through the generations and transforms one of her descendants.

SPEAKER_04:

Okay.

SPEAKER_00:

And it's uh I think it's gonna have a full uh the way I have it in my mind, it's gonna be a wonderful kind of full circle between the two books. Hopefully, um I'll have it out by the first of maybe January, February. It just depends.

SPEAKER_02:

Oh wow. So not too much longer.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

But no pressure, right?

SPEAKER_00:

On yourself. Right. I mean, I'm not gonna rush, I'm just gonna um and see how Fields of Faith does. It's really and well they'll do it, it's just yeah, it's just the money to get it published. But you know, I know God will provide if that's what he wants me to do.

SPEAKER_02:

Yes, yes. Well, what is what does it look like for you to like get the word out about the book? I guess that that's a whole I mean this is a whole realm that I'm sure somebody's listening, they're like, I don't even know how this all works. And even for me, I'm like, all right, Lord, like how are we gonna get the message out?

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, just social media. That's uh what I've been doing, yeah. You know, my Facebook, Instagram, TikTok. There's um groups on Facebook, you know, there's authors supporting authors, you know, there's uh, you know, Amazon KDP groups, you know, you know, self-publishers go and you know, there's there's groups out there you can uh okay. You know, and I send out a lot of uh you know copies.

SPEAKER_02:

Oh, you do?

SPEAKER_00:

Well, yeah. Um I'd love to send you a copy of Oh yeah, that'd be amazing. Your your address here.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, I'll I'll send it to you after we get off the call. Yeah, um I love I love what you're doing. Like I I just really sense that um there's there's more. Like, are you out there speaking places as well? No, no, no, have you have you ever gotten that, Nudge?

SPEAKER_00:

No, no, not yet, not yet. Uh I'm yeah, I'm not gonna rule it out, but uh okay. Uh but not not yet. Uh um you know, we'll see what God has in store. Um I'll just go where he leads.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, yeah. I do feel like he's taking a lot of us in this season, and I'm speaking for myself as well. Right. Um, it's almost like this decade. He's he's really um, you know, you mentioned like uh, you know, confounding the wise verse, right? Um take the foolish things of the world and to confound, isn't that the the way I can't remember which verse it is? Um, but I I do really sense that he's really utilizing his sons and daughters to really just go out there and and make a huge difference and be the ones that maybe don't have it all together, you know. Like we're the ones being called to, like myself here, have a podcast. Like I had somebody say, You're like the most unlikely person I would have ever thought to do that. I'm like, well, good, because it's all God, right? Exactly. Um, you know, for those of us writing books, and maybe we I didn't do good in English. I did you hear that? Did you catch that? I didn't do good in English. Um supposed to be, I didn't do well if I was being part of that. But you know, he's taking those of us that maybe have been, you know, hidden away and we're we're kind of coming out with guns a blazing, I think.

SPEAKER_00:

Right.

SPEAKER_02:

What do you think?

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, yeah, I you know, I I believe I do believe that because I believe time is growing short. I believe, you know, I just I feel like you know, people don't have a lot of time left.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

Uh and you know, if we don't get the message out there, if God's children don't do it, then who's gonna do it? Uh-uh.

SPEAKER_04:

Right.

SPEAKER_00:

You know, we need to, you know, get the message to as many people as we can. Uh with with the means that God gives us.

SPEAKER_01:

Yes.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah. How do how do you feel like he's obviously, you know, publishing a book is a stretch, but uh do you feel like there's another um way that he's stretching you? And I know today potentially being on the podcast is stretchy, but do you feel like there's anything else that he's calling you to be stretched in in this time?

SPEAKER_00:

Not really, honestly, not not right now, Chris. But I'm just focusing on you know, writing right now. And um not that to say that he won't.

SPEAKER_02:

I mean, yeah. He um you're you're ready if he's he calls you to get right.

SPEAKER_00:

You know, that's that's what's the God doesn't need my ability, he just needs my wants my availability.

SPEAKER_02:

So yes. Well, say that again. Somebody needs to hear that.

SPEAKER_00:

I'm sorry, God doesn't want or doesn't need our ability. He just wants our availability.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

We just need to make ourselves available to him to use as he wants.

SPEAKER_02:

Yes, I love that. Well, what does it look like for you, um, you know, to kind of stay in that posture of being available?

SPEAKER_00:

Uh just you know, staying in prayer, uh reading my Bible, and I'm just trying to stay in tune with God.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

Uh and that's I believe that's how we do it, you know. We um just try to stay as close to Him as we can and and just just I think a lot of times when we pray, we just talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. We need to spend time to listen.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

To get in our, you know, our quote unquote prayer closets where it's quiet and just listen for that still small voice that God speaks to us with.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, that's so good. I think you know, we're we live in a very, very noisy world, right? There's so many voices and you know, things that we can get drawn into. And right, like yeah, like you just said, this distraction. And um, how do you keep yourself from getting like distracted by all the noise of the world?

SPEAKER_00:

Uh just well, honestly, I don't get out much. Um about the most I'll go is to church on Sundays. Um and so I just you know, there's a lot I have a lot of quiet time, so which I think is good. It helps me reflect, you know. I'm a thing can pray, and um you know, and that's just uh with a muscular dystrophy, I'm not able to uh had my last job was in 2016. I worked as a in the petroleum industry as a regulatory analyst, but uh you know, I hadn't had a physical job or an actual go-to-an-office type job since then.

SPEAKER_04:

Okay.

SPEAKER_00:

Um and honestly, I'm not able to now, and uh as much as my muscular industry has progressed, so I'm you know hoping that uh my writing can you know kind of support that uh you know household.

SPEAKER_02:

Yes, amen. Well, how did you like how did you come to the Lord? Were you really young? I I know you mentioned that your dad is a pastor, correct?

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, I was uh saved when I was eight years old.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh wow.

SPEAKER_00:

A little church uh outside of Huntsville.

SPEAKER_04:

Okay.

SPEAKER_00:

Um and then of course, you know, I think a lot of people have seasons in their life when they especially if they're saved when they're young age, they get away from the Lord and then just um you know the Lord brought me back.

SPEAKER_04:

Uh thank goodness.

SPEAKER_00:

And uh been uh teaching Sunday school at uh church for the past probably well since 2002.

SPEAKER_02:

So wow, that's a long time. 23 years, wow.

SPEAKER_00:

Uh and I I actually do a little preaching as well.

SPEAKER_02:

Do you?

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah. Um well I have been, I have in the past, I've filled in for my dad uh a few times. Um but that's I think uh you know, I for years I felt kind of felt like the Lord was calling me to preach. And then in 2017 uh finally made that leap, and then I kind of feel like you know, the the Lord, he um I don't know how to explain it. He uh He just wanted to know that I was willing to do it and to be obedient to that call. Um but I just don't feel him using me in that avenue right now, yeah. Just because of my my disability has progressed so much. Not that that's an excuse not to do it because I feel you know if if I was needed, but as far as like a full-time pastorship or something like that, I don't feel God leading me to do that.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah. Well, and and it maybe it just looks different too, right? You're still positioned, but yet it just looks different than maybe the typical pastor, right?

SPEAKER_04:

Right, yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

Which is beautiful.

unknown:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

Well, this is kind of a I don't know, this question's coming up for me for you. But who is your favorite person in the Bible that like inspires you or challenges you? Um who's your favorite that you look to probably David. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

Because we see so many of his flaws in the Bible instead. And yet God still said that he was a man after his own heart.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

Uh and yet he was, I mean, he was he was still human, yeah. Just like all the heroes of faith were, you know, in the Bible. But you know, God put him in a lot of you know, bad situations. We see his faith and trust, yeah, you know, in a lot of the psalms.

SPEAKER_04:

Uh yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

And so I you know, I think that's an encouragement to everybody. You know, we're not, you know, I think a the world has this misconception about you know, Christians, we're think we're perfect, right? You know, uh and that's you know far from it, right? Far, far from it. Which is uh which is why we need God, you know, right. Why we need Jesus in our lives. But you know, David would probably be my favorite.

SPEAKER_02:

And speaking of like you know, perfect. Have you found like I don't know, just even for yourself or others that you know, like this misconstrued per step perception that like you think you have to be perfect to like please God even yes.

SPEAKER_00:

You know, I felt that way for a long time. Uh I just, you know, I felt like I'm just I'm not measuring up. I just can't do it. There's, you know, and yet, you know, the Bible says that God's mercies are new every morning.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

You know, and we as long as we're we have to realize as long as we're in these bodies, we are in the bondage, under the bondage of sin, but you know, thank thank the Lord sacrifice on the cost that we're no longer we don't have to be in condemnation.

SPEAKER_04:

Yes.

SPEAKER_00:

But as long as we're in these bodies we're still in the bondage of it. You know and you know and I strive every day this is what we all need to do, I believe, is to live as Christ like lives as we can. No one wouldn't we'll never attain that. Right. Right. Right. But that that doesn't mean we don't need to strive for that though.

SPEAKER_02:

Yes. And I mean what would you say to somebody who's just constantly feels like they're missing the mark.

SPEAKER_00:

Uh just don't give up. Just keep on keeping on. That's my dad would say uh I love that phrase too. Yeah. Yep. Keep on keeping on. There's a line in in my novel that where um Hannah's mama tells her just to keep going one step then the next and that's what yeah and that's the way we need to do we need to just because you know the devil loves a discourage Christian.

SPEAKER_01:

Oh gosh yes.

SPEAKER_00:

And you know I think um that's one of his biggest tools. So yeah we just need to keep our eyes on Jesus and yes don't lose that focus.

SPEAKER_02:

It's interesting even you know just that discouragement um I remember I think it was Rita Springer. I don't know if you know who she is. She's a worship leader um singer who was actually interviewing somebody on her podcast and she had asked a question to her guest basically like what did it what is it that you're like called to release to the world and the gal had mentioned um can't remember exactly what it was but then for Rita her her like main release to the world is courage. So what she often faces is the very opposite which is discouragement.

SPEAKER_01:

Right.

SPEAKER_02:

So what would you say yours is like what is your um you know if we were to think of like for me I'm a hope igniter I call myself a hope igniter the Lord called me a hope igniter so then that opposite can be hopelessness and it can be something that I have to fight right with the Lord's help. So if if I since I'm mentioning this is there something that's coming up for you um well now that you said those I mean I could I can see a combination of both of those hopelessness discouragement especially like I said there's a lot of days you know um sitting in this wheelchair is just uh you know even little things would be so easy for somebody else to do can't do you know it it it does get it can get discouraging and can feel hopeless at times. I've even dealing with the I've you know I've been in this chair for over ten years I've never had a any kind of pressure ulcers but I'm dealing with one on my right shoulder blade now that gives me a lot which is I think you know the devil's trying to use to get me down with um yeah but you're a warrior yeah well yeah maybe I think uh that's something that's it's God it's it's not me so yeah yeah well just like David you know he was he was a warrior as well so I love that he's you know one of your favorites um what is what is one of your favorite like Bible verses that you know is kind of like an anchoring verse that you really cling to uh well right now it's uh Psalm 94 verse 17.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh okay unless the devil's gonna just do it in me it's gonna make me forget my own verse. Ah it's okay it says unless the Lord had been my help my soul had almost dwelt in silence and it's one of the verses that I use in uh well in my epilogue too it's uh God showed me that verse I'd never really noticed it before until well as again like we were talking about earlier timing thing. Yeah God showed it to me kind of right at the right time his first time uh but there's a verse over in the Corinthians as well and it's um that Paul talks about um I don't know I can't remember the first or second Corinthians where uh Paul talks about I take pleasure in infirmities or when I'm weak then I'm strong. Yeah you know that's um I take that kind of as a motto for my life.

SPEAKER_01:

Yes.

SPEAKER_02:

Yes. Oh it's so good. I I I just love you know everything you've shared here today. And I cannot wait to hear about your next book that comes out. Um maybe we'll have to have you back on other time to share it. And for sure we'll have your book information in the show notes. Oh Christopher but I would love for you to share the epilogue of the book as you mentioned if you're open to that still.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh yeah definitely I would love to do that. I won't read the whole thing but just the um main parts and uh kind of finish up with that prayer.

SPEAKER_01:

Yes.

SPEAKER_00:

It's all right but um so on May 29th 2025 I went to the ER because my CO2 levels were dangerously high. Within hours my life changed completely I was given a medicine that caused respiratory failure. I stopped breathing twice. I spent the next 44 days in the hospital for the first week or so I was on a ventilator eventually I had to go and undergo a tracheotomy and remained on a breathing machine. Spent about three weeks in the ICU unable to speak unable to communicate at all because of my muscular dysphory I couldn't even write anything down. I remember waking up the first night in the ICU I didn't know where I was or what had happened. The last thing I recalled was being wheeled into a room and then suddenly I was awake in what I can only describe as a coma like state I couldn't move I couldn't speak I couldn't open my eyes but I could hear I heard the voices of the medical staff working on me. One of them asked Mr. Hunt can you hear me another said I don't know why you won't wake up I was aware but completely helpless. And then just like that I slipped back into unconsciousness. When I fully woke up it was late at night I I remember hearing a man on the phone saying yeah he's awake and after that the room fell silent the silence was almost deafening I was scared I couldn't ask questions I couldn't call out for help I didn't know if I would live or die. So I did the only thing I could I cried out to God not with words because I had none but with but from the depths of my heart with all like honesty I prayed God I'm scared I don't know what's going on I need you now more than ever please give me a sign let me know that everything is going to be okay and in his infinite grace and mercy he answered me. He sent me two angels not with wings and white robes but they were angels to me nonetheless. The first was Isabel she was part of the janitorial staff a sweet bubbly elderly Hispanic woman who didn't speak much English but every day she came into my room with a joy and walk that words couldn't fully explain each morning without fail she'd call out hi puppy and walk to the foot of my bed she'd gently place her hand on my leg or my foot and raise her hands eyes to heaven and pray for me in Spanish. I didn't understand the words but I felt them sometimes while cleaning she would sing softly and it was the sweetest sound I'd ever heard in her broken English she would assure me God will take care of you. And in those moments I couldn't hold back the tears because I knew this was God's answer to my prayer. Later I was transferred to another hospital's ICU a long term acute care facility known as an LTAC. Still unable to speak still relying on machine to breathe I found myself in our familiar surroundings once again. So I prayed the same prayer I had before God I need you please show me you're still with me. And once again he answered this time he sent me a speech therapist named Janie I can't explain it and I certainly can't quantify it. But from the moment we met I knew this was God's answer. She wasn't there often only saw her a handful of times but I believe that was God gently reminded me we walk by faith and not by sight. When I told Janie that she was my second angel she smiled and told me something that gave me chill she said God had nudged her into that very career even though it hadn't been her original path. And the only reason she was working at that hospital that summer was because she was filling in for someone else on maternity. In other words she wasn't supposed to be there but God in his infinite wisdom saw the need before I saw the storm and placed her there for such a time as this and I just paused there for a second because I want to I like this when I wrote this God saw the need before I saw the storm it didn't click. Yeah I just wrote that down and I'm like wow but when I went back and reread that it blew me away yeah God is so far ahead of us it doesn't even we can't even comprehend it yeah I think a lot of times we have in our mind that God is reactionary. He don't start working on something until we pray about it. But God is proactive years ago years ago he put Janie on that path where she would be in that hospital room at that exact moment to answer that prayer yeah because he knew that I would be there yeah and that just and Janie even told me a story about how God's her into that that it was just a random conversation with a girl that she never saw again after that.

SPEAKER_02:

Wow and it was just God all through it and I you know it just uh it brought me to tears really yeah I mean it it's I like to say it's these moments of like you can't make this stuff up.

SPEAKER_00:

Exactly like you literally could not make this up no no not at all and so back to the hot epilogue but God in his infinite wisdom stopped the need before I saw the storm and placed her there for such a time as this she brought peace encouragement and a quiet reassurance that God still saw me perhaps most unexpectedly unexpectedly Jenny was the one who encouraged me to write this novel. After it all God gave me the Bible verse that I had never noticed before I don't believe that was an accident I believe it was providence. God away until the moment I needed it most when I had no words no strength and nothing left but him to reveal it to me. Psalm 9417 unless the Lord had been my help my soul had almost dwelt in silence that verse became my testimony when I couldn't speak when I couldn't breathe when everything was quiet and dark God was my help and he still is through all this I've come to realize something one of the darkest most difficult times of my life has become one of the greatest blessings of my life and I want you to know if you're going through something hard right now if life feels too heavy to carry you're not alone God hasn't left you he's closer than you think sometimes he shows up in a hymn a quiet prayer a nurse a friend or with a mop and a heart full of head my prayer is this is that you remember this God is faithful in the storm he is present in the silence and when you call out to him he hears you even when you can't speak if you've ever doubted whether God still moves this story is your reminder he does. It's because I'm here to tell it as a final thought I want to leave you with this prayer. Heavenly Father for those hearing this now I lift them up to you you know their heart you see their pain you've heard every cry they were too tired to pray out loud I ask you to meet them the way you met me in the silence in the stillness in the darkest moments remind them that they're never forgotten never forsaken and never alone may your presence be felt even just through the kindness of a stranger the peace of a quiet night of the whisper the whisper of a verse they never noticed before strengthen their faith surround them with your comfort and give them the courage to keep going one step then the next knowing you are their help and their hope.

SPEAKER_01:

In Jesus' mighty name I pray Amen now you got me crying man like prolific I'm hoping that touched somebody's heart and they can use that.

SPEAKER_02:

Well it touched my heart today wow um all right I'm gonna have a moment here um on that note gosh um wow I your story is so powerful and you know just looking at these two ladies who impacted your life so greatly um in the ways that they stepped into their obedience of I mean I don't even know do you I know you know that one of them was a believer but the other gal who was the speech therapist was she a believer as well well uh uh Is uh yes definitely Janey she um two believers we're actually become good friends.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh had lunch with her wife had lunch with her couple and then our beautiful daughters couple are given her copy.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah wow copy I mean just like the ripple effect of yeah just somebody coming in and and going uh the word the Lord keeps giving me lately is above and beyond like Ephesians 3 20 like more than you can ask or imagine like you couldn't have even like I said you couldn't make this up you maybe you wouldn't even know what how to ask for what you were given and he brought brought you these two ladies to impact you in such a way that you know one of them ignited you to even write this book.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah she just and I don't you know it was God just turned on the switch. You know we had she would um she was also my swallow therapist um she would have to you know approve me to because I was on liquids for weeks. Wow lost over 30 pounds. Oh my gosh and so she had to make sure that I was able to swallow so she would actually come to my room and feed me. And you know we'd have conversations about God and things and I got I read one of my poems and uh you know told her my idea about the novel and I can never do it. And she said you can do it. Yeah I don't want to read it write it.

SPEAKER_02:

Oh I love that and sometimes we just need that person who just comes alongside you and gives you that you know you got this right and so I just because I knew how one started and ended and I just started and God took over and yeah three months later we got a book. Yes well congratulations like and go God for like I don't know he's just so I always tell people he's so fun and he's so intentional and you know to really just take each day like one day at a time and just see him in the details. He's in the details of everything.

SPEAKER_00:

And just kind of a fun kind of note that some people might not catch in the novel I honor Isabel and Jamie by naming Anna's daughters after them.

SPEAKER_02:

Is there anything um as far as encouragement or wisdom that you'd feel led to share um speak over them and then would you pray us out today?

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah I'd be glad to um I would just say that people don't give up like it's that's the title of my blog even in the silence yeah you know I think a lot of people they don't hear from God they think he's not listening they think he's not there or he don't care or he's forgotten about me and that couldn't be further from the tooth.
