Ep 026: Finding Faith in the Dark: Ridge Alkonis’ Journey Through Trial and Resilience
How do you hold onto faith when life takes an unexpected turn? What if the hardest trial of your life became the greatest lesson in resilience?
Ridge Alkonis never imagined that a car accident in Japan would change his life forever. Sentenced to 3 years in prison (he only served 537 days), he faced isolation, uncertainty, and hardship. But even in the darkest moments, he saw the hand of God—through a letter arriving at just the right time, his ability to help fellow inmates communicate, and the unexpected blessing of working in a tailor shop.
Through it all, Ridge developed unshakable mental, physical, and spiritual resilience. His story is a powerful testament that even in our deepest trials, God is there, guiding us through.
