Summary

SummaryI’m Niah Hicks, a 17-year-old athlete turned author. ⚑ After double-knee surgery, a mysterious neurological illness hijacked my lifeβ€”seizures, tremors, memory loss, and crushing fatigue robbed me of sports, school, and independence. Doctors said my body was β€œshutting down,” yet in the darkest valley Jesus met me with hope and purpose. πŸ•ŠοΈ Through prayer, worship, and His Word, I learned that even when the miracle isn’t the outcome, I can become the miracle. Letting go of my volleyball dreams, I wrote β€œGod Is Writing Your Story” to testify that every setback is a setup in God’s hands. Today I coach, speak, and cheer others onβ€”declaring that our history is His story, and His goodness never fails! πŸ™Œ

In this powerful and heartfelt episode, Nick Vujicic sits down with Niah, a young athlete whose life was turned upside down after a mysterious illness following double knee surgery. Once a high-level volleyball and track star, Niah found herself fighting for her life, navigating chronic illness, seizures, and the loss of her physical abilities. Through the pain, uncertainty, and heartbreak, Niah discovered a deeper strength and unshakable faith in God’s goodness. Her story is a moving testimony of resilience, surrender, and the beauty of finding purpose beyond circumstanceβ€”where miracles aren’t always the outcome, but often the person you become.
