“Rae: The Day Everything Changed, and the God Who Met Her There”
This episode is different. It’s not a story about an accident, it’s a story about a God who shows up in the moments we can’t remember but somehow still know.
Rae sits down with Dillon to share what happened on October 29, the day she lost both of her legs… and found a presence that changed everything. She talks about the blackout she doesn’t remember but could feel, the calm that made no logical sense, and the moment on November 1 when she surrendered her life to Jesus without ever having been raised in faith.
This is the first time Rae has ever told her story publicly. It’s raw, emotional, honest, and holy. Not a survival story, a rebirth story.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- How God was drawing Rae long before the accident
- What it felt like to “sense Jesus” in the blackout
- The moment she realized her legs were gone, and why peace was her first reaction
- The surrender moment that changed her identity forever
- How she’s rebuilding her future with purpose, gratitude, and fire
Quote to remember:
“I don’t remember the accident. But I remember the presence.”
If you’ve ever questioned where God is in suffering, this conversation will show you what it looks like when He’s closer than breath, even when memory fails.
