About this listen

Host Haley Hatch Freeman welcome inspirational speaker Abby Stephens, who shares her connection to the Cokeville Miracle and then recounts a devastating car accident one week before her wedding that left her with a C3–C4 spinal cord injury and a prognosis of complete quadriplegia and ventilator dependence. Abby describes promptings ignored about seat belts, the crash, and a series of “little miracles,” including immediate help from someone with a phone, an EMT bishop guided by the Spirit, her parents arriving at the scene, and priesthood blessings—one from Elder Jeffrey R. Holland—emphasizing “Thy will be done.” After three months in the hospital, Abby regained breathing, feeling, and the ability to walk, later marrying Cole and building a family, while teaching gratitude, positive focus, humor, and avoiding comparison in trials.
