Brad shares his journey from childhood faith to a life-changing accident that redefined everything—and reveals how God's fingerprints were all over his recovery.
From planting churches as a kid in the Sutherland Shire to designing rockets as an aerospace engineer, Brad's story is full of "but God" moments. But nothing prepared him for the morning a cycling accident left him unconscious for 16 days with severed arteries and a broken neck in three places.
The odds of survival were almost zero. The first responders who showed up were an off-duty police officer, a running mate with nappies, and an ER nurse—all in the right place at the right time. The ambulance that arrived in 4 minutes and 32 seconds during peak hour happened to carry the only trial dressing in Australia for major arterial bleeds.
Brad opens up about growing up choosing service over comfort, making hard faith choices as a teenager, and what it's like learning to live with a severe traumatic brain injury. He graduated as an aerospace engineer, but some of those abilities are gone now. He grieves that loss, but he's not giving up. He's taking it all back with God's help, running marathons, and telling his story to anyone who will listen.
This is a story about asking "Why am I here?" and finding boldness to share faith in unexpected places. Because God's gift isn't the injury—it's the recovery, and the platform it's given him to share his faith.
