    MaryAnn Orr was a healthy 32 year old with three children when her life changed one night. While at her sons football team dinner, she started not feeling well but couldn't figure out what was going on until she collapsed on a table. She was having a stroke. At the time of her stroke, doctors rarely considered a stroke as a possible illness for young healthy women. Because of this, doctors did not identify and start treatment of her condition until more that 7 hours later. Despite this, MaryAnn has made an incredible recovery, and has become an advocate for helping others learn how to identify the signs of a stroke and has even helped pass legislation on how the health care system identifies and treats strokes in young people.

    On the morning of November 5, 2017 the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, was full of worshippers when shots rang out. Hearing the shots, Stephen Willeford grabbed his AR-15 and a hand full of bullets and ran down the street to the church (ironically, he had forgotten to put on shoes and was running barefoot). Little did he know that day would forever change his life and the lives of the entire community of Sutherland Springs. Stephen confronted the shooter and fired multiple shots at the suspect, striking him multiple times. The incident ended after a brief chase and the suspect, bleeding from his wounds, fatally shot himself but not before 26 people had lost their lives and 22 others were seriously injured, making this the deadliest mass shooting in Texas history. If not for the actions of Stephen Willeford that day, it's possible many more lives would have been lost. Today, Stephen is an advocate for gun ownership, and is a key member of the Gun Owners of America organization. He is also the author of the acclaimed book, 'A Town Called Sutherland Springs: Faith and Heroism Through Tragedy'.

It was here where Chris had to make a fatal choice facing down an armed and known gang member at the time. On February 28th, Chris had to take the life of another person. That decision would haunt him for decades and put him on a path that would ultimately lead to him losing everything.Chris eventually landed in Broomfield, Colorado where he was serving as a motorcycle officer and accident reconstructionist for the Broomfield Police Department. He met the women of his dreams, who would become his wife and mother of his two daughters. Together they had it all; big house, nice cars, exotic vacations, but their perfect life came crashing down when in 2008, Chris was nearly killed on his police motorcycle after being hit by a semi-truck. That night in the hospital, when his wife came to visit him, he realized his marriage was over and everything he had was about the be stripped from him. He describes it as hitting the red button that detonates the bomb, and that's exactly what happened… a bomb went off and blew his world up. He had hit bottom and had nothing left but faith. A few years later, Chris would step foot on a boat during a dive trip that would forever change him as a person. Call it fate, call it divine intervention, or maybe just dumb luck, but that three-day diving trip put him on a course where he found love, faith, compassion, and forgiveness in his past and the pain that he had caused so many including himself. But his story may have had a very different outcome had he never stepped foot on that boat. #trustinchrist #flatironschurch #losingitall #faithingod #getintheboat #8seconds
