Angela Byrd shares her moving story with us as she talks about a time in her life when she was in such a deep valley, she felt that she almost couldn't recognize her own life. Her late husband, Dennis Byrd, was a talented and well-known NFL football player who played for the New York Jets. A career-ending injury caused him to be paralyzed. However, he overcame and walked again! You might remember the book/movie "Rise and Walk" that was written/produced about their story.
Dennis and Angela spent time speaking to churches and FCA groups, sharing their story of faith in God and overcoming the odds. But things aren't always what they seem. The injury had changed Dennis inside. He had difficulty regulating his emotions, particularly his anger.
The husband Angela knew before was not the same person. He had become dangerous, and this was extremely hard on their family.
Just as they were beginning to make a turn for the better, and Dennis had mended his relationship with God and Angela, Dennis was killed in a tragic car accident.
Listen to Angela's story of faith and hope through tragedy. We got chills so many times during the recording of this conversation. The power of God is so moving as she shares with us her journey.
