Parker is back with us — and her story hits hard. While she was facing the terrifying possibility of losing her eyesight, she was quietly losing something even more precious… herself. She waited, hoping the pain would fade, hoping she could handle it alone. But that silence nearly cost her life.

Today, Parker stands here because she found the courage to reach out, to say the hardest words: “I need help.” She didn’t just fight for her vision — she fought to stay alive. And her story is a reminder to anyone listening: strength isn’t surviving in the dark. Strength is choosing to step out of it.

This is Parker’s comeback. And it might be the light someone else needs.

Today’s guest is Kevin Flannery — United States Marine, warrior in silence, and a man who never asked for glory. He’ll be the first to tell you that signing your name on the line isn’t about heroism… it’s about accepting a cost most people will never see, and carrying it long after the uniform comes off.

Kevin opens the door to a childhood marked by places he wished he’d never known — a place that shaped him, scarred him, and ultimately strengthened him. And yet, in true Kevin fashion, he’ll have you laughing through the tears, finding light in the heaviest moments.

This is a story of grit, redemption, and divine transformation. So take a breath… settle in… and press play to hear how God took a life weighed down by battles and turned it into a testimony of hope.
