Luke Deal, Northwest Christian Senior: The Transforming Power of a Near-Tragedy

The return of "What About?" Wednesdays! Text us your questions for apologist and pastor Robby Lashua!Just days before the start of his senior year at Northwest Christian High School, during Summer 2021, Luke Deal was enjoying a hike through the wilderness on the south end of Lake Tahoe.  As he and his family enjoyed the stunning mountain lake views, Luke was crossing a creek.That's all he remembers.  The next subsequent memory he has is waking up in a hospital bed several days later with grim-faced doctors explaining that the prognosis was not good.What his family remembers is Luke's slip and near-tragic fall over a 50-foot waterfall.  Then, they remember scrambling down the mountainside to see if he had survived, the 20-30 minutes it took for the first team of emergency responders to make it out to the remote area, and then placing him in a helicopter for a life-saving flight, alone, to an area hospital.And, the story only gets more exciting from there.  This is a Kingdom Culture Conversation that you will be talking and thinking about for some time to come!"Kingdom Culture Conversations" is a podcast created through Frameworks, a Biblical worldview initiative of Northwest Christian School.For more information on Frameworks, please visit:  https://frameworks.ncsaz.org/For more information on Northwest Christian School, visit:  https://www.ncsaz.org/To reach out to Geoff Brown, please email [email protected] or you can reach him by cell phone:  (623)225-5573.
