When God has the Final Word
from The Iron Parable Podcast · host rebekah
Some people sail through life. David Simmonds was not one of them. From a spinal injury on the football field at Texas Tech that doctors said had less than a 5% chance of recovery, to a ruptured colon and sepsis that nearly killed him — alone in a hospital for 29 days — to a divorce and betrayal that would have broken most men, David has walked through storms that don't make sense. And yet through every single one, his faith never wavered. In this episode of Iron Parable, David shares his story of resilience, radical trust, and what it looks like to keep saying yes to God when life keeps saying no. He also shares how a backyard conversation with nine Jews, eight Muslims, and seven atheists turned into one of the most powerful ministry moments of his life — and why he believes God was preparing him for it through every hard thing he ever endured. If you've ever felt like you've been dealt an unfair hand, this conversation will remind you that God doesn't waste a single trial.
