“This is a story that sticks—your audience won’t forget it. I’ve shared it on many podcasts and always value the conversations!”
In 2007, my 18-year-old son Kevin died of alcohol poisoning—the very day he moved out on his own. In the wake of that loss, I packed his ashes in my backpack and walked from Gilbert, Arizona to Kalispell, Montana. Along the way, I shared Kevin’s story at schools, churches, and treatment centers.
Since then, I’ve told his story nearly 400 times to over 400,000 students and parents. It’s a message about more than just loss—it's about the power of choices, resilience in the face of adversity, and the healing that comes through forgiveness.
I’d love the opportunity to bring this conversation to your audience.
