I have been in the church long enough to see people miraculously spared from circumstances that should have been deadly -- like really really deadly -- like there is no chance that they should be walking today.  Yet they are.  And, to a person, they all conclude this one thing: "God has me here, God spared me, for a purpose!"

That is the backdrop of the linked audio story:

Two and a half years ago, a plane went down in a Texas pasture. On board were five men—the lead pastor, the executive pastor, an elder, and two faithful members of Harvest Church near Memphis, Tennessee.

Four of the men were killed instantly—experts later determined the chances of survival were zero percent. But one of the men—lead pastor Kennon Vaughan—lived.

He’d go on to survive an experimental surgery and bring the story of the crash back to his church.

This is his story. But this is also the story of what happens when a church of disciple-makers walks through their darkest hours together. And this is the story of what God can do when lives—and deaths—are surrendered to him.
