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'. 

As a young adult, Cheryl Hunter dreamed of being a model one day. But all that glamour turned to pain, and trauma when she was kidnapped, beaten and sexually assaulted while on a trip to France at the age of 18.  For years Cheryl hid her story from everyone for fear of rejection, judgement and embarrassment.  

After years of hiding what had happened to her in France, she finally told her story. Instead of rejection, judgement and embarrassment, she found healing by telling her story. Today, she has been featured on the Dr. Phil show, Fox, NBC, and in People Magazine telling her story in hopes that it helps someone else find healing in their own trauma.

Brett Figueroa is best known for being the #1 top producing sales leader for Tony Robbins. And his journey to the top was filled with struggle and adversity. But what may be even more interesting about his story is the extreme abuse and violence his family was filled with during his youth.

From that point on, his young life would be filled with violence and abuse from his father and alcoholic mother. At one point, Brett found the abuse so damaging he burnt down the family home and contemplated suicide. 

As a proud father of three, Brett committed himself to breaking the cycle of violence that rocked his childhood. His upcoming book, 'TRIUMPH' is a deep dive into his childhood and ultimate success.

Drug and alcohol addiction seem to affect almost every family, from the White House to Main Street. Addiction can break apart families and destroy lives, and leave those who suffer from it feeling helpless.

Enrique Cruz had a successful auto repair shop in the suburbs of Houston and was doing well for himself and his family. But as is the case with many blessings, there always seems to be a curse and for him that curse was a drug and alcohol addiction that eventually landed him in the Texas Department of Corrections. 

After his release, he committed to turning his life around by getting sober, building back his business and his relationships with his children and those close to him. Today, Cruz-N-Carz is thriving and Enrique and his wife Lisa live in a penthouse in downtown Houston. But he never forgets his past and those that helped him and he continues to help anyone with an addiction problem as a mentor and sponsor.

Brittany and Travis Just just lived a life of adventure but always felt that something was missing. In 2022 they partnered with Diana and Micah LaCerte of HitchFit to launch a new training and adventure program called RockBody Retreats. While on a retreat in Mexico together in late 2022 they discovered that missing piece, Faith in God. 

But then tragedy hit just a few months later when Travis was suddenly killed in a snowmobile accident in Colorado in early 2023. For Brittany, her newly found Faith was either going to be tested or her own saving grace as she found herself alone to raise their two children and manage a life without Travis. 

Just like the adventurous life they lived with ups and downs, Brittany's story is one that has highs and lows, from deep faith to questions of 'why', from strength to vulnerability, and from sadness to happiness. 

You can learn more about RockBody Retreats and the work and life that the Just family and the LaCerte family are doing to bring fitness and faith to people around the world at www.rockbodyretreat.com

Dr Tom Hecker is a renowned Orthopedic Surgeon and has operated on thousands of patients during his career. But when he became the patient after suffering a tragic fall while climbing and shattering his own ankle even the best surgeons told him his only chance was probably amputation. 

Dr Tom refused to believe his foot needed amputated and one day a guy walked into his office with a new device he was testing out. Dr Tom tried it for himself and within a year his ankle had completely healed, no surgery and no amputation. It also started him on a path of healing patients rather than just 'fixing' them. 

Today, Dr Tom has his own practice, Hecker Sports Medicine in Ft. Collins Colorado where he is using alternative medicine such as stem cells and other options to not only fix but truly heal patients and give them the quality of life they deserve.

Victoria Dwinel is a young woman who unfortunately had to face that reality. 

Unfortunately, loss isn't something new to Victoria. She tragically lost her high school boyfriend in an accident, and then just months later lost her grandmother. But her hope and faith were revived when she found out she was pregnant with her first child. She had a normal pregnancy with no signs of issues until one day at 38 weeks everything changed.

River Lakey was found in a ditch just hours old outside a home in Kigali, Rwanda. At the age of 4 he was adopted by Jimmy Lakey and brought to the United States. It was that moment that Jimmy made a promise to him to help as many of the children of Rwanda as possible.  

Since his adoption, River has always known Rwanda is where he is from, but he never understood that it was also his home. Nor did he understand fully the promise his dad made to him and the impact the non-profit organization named after him would have on the people of Rwanda. On his most recent trip back to Rwanda (now as an 18 year old young man) he had a different perspective and understanding of his home of Rwanda and the work that River's Promise is doing to help the people there climb from the pit of poverty through education. 

He is now ready to take the baton and help lead River's Promise into the future to continue to help the people of Rwanda through education, faith in God and the belief that dreams do come true.
