Rise Up: Fearless Journey of Faith & Resilience

from Why We Believe · host Nathan Gwilliam

In this episode of the Why We Believe Show, Kacey McCallister shares his journey after losing both legs in a tragic accident at just six years old. Raised with his parents' philosophy that "can't never did anything," Kacey developed incredible resilience-completing a 50-mile hike on his hands, winning wrestling competitions, and eventually serving a full-time mission in Arizona. He recounts how his faith sustained him through life's challenges, including his path to becoming a motivational speaker and author of the book "Rise Up." Kacey's story reveals how failing forward led to his greatest successes, from losing every middle school wrestling match to later taking second place at state. The conversation highlights how his faith provides peace during difficulties and his understanding that God's love drives everything. As Kacey explains simply: "What greater gift is there than to help His children?"
