Summary

Born without arms, I struggled through feelings of rejection, depression, and anger. I often felt like damaged goods, crushed by the weight of not fitting in. The turning point came during a youth group lock-in when I heard the message of God’s unconditional love and Jesus’ sacrifice. That night, John 3 and Romans 5 came alive to meβ€”I realized even in my frustration and bitterness, God had been pursuing me. Embracing Jesus as my Savior transformed my identity: no longer broken, but a masterpiece of His craftsmanship. Eventually, I was invited to speak, and despite fear, I said yes. Since then, God has used me to speak hope into others’ lives. Today, I’m a husband, father, and traveling speaker, living proof that God can use anyoneβ€”even an armless introvertβ€”for His glory.
