17 Years of Trauma Broke a Paramedic Until God Gave Him a New Life to Chase (With Jeremy Claridge)

from Why We Believe · host Nathan Gwilliam

What happens when 17 years of saving other people's lives nearly destroys your own?  Jeremy Claridge spent nearly two decades as a paramedic with his hands in trauma every single day. When severe PTSD brought him to his breaking point, he told his doctor he was done with emergency medicine and that he was going to be a crop duster. His wife looked at him and asked if he was serious. He was.In this episode of Why We Believe, host Nathan Gwilliam sits down with Jeremy to hear how that decision launched a chain of events only God could have planned. Jeremy and his wife drove across Idaho looking for a place to fly, and the moment they hit Main Street in Rexburg, they both knew it was the place. They moved with no job, no connections, and no plan beyond following the Spirit. Jeremy shares how walking into the Far West temple site on his mission gave him a testimony he could never deny, how a late-night walk as a new bishop brought him the only instruction he needed, and why he believes God cares just as much about a little girl's dinosaur tutu as He does about the biggest problems in the world.Loved this episode?Hit Follow and share it with someone who needs to hear that God has a plan even when yours falls apart!
