In the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, social and civil unrest, and what felt like a worldwide depression, J Benjamin Lyne decided to make a small sign that he would carry with him on his neighborhood run.

S1 Ep 41Strengthening Marriage & Faith Through Tragedy with Nathan & Heather Ogden
Back in 2001, Nathan and Heather Ogden's life was exactly where they wanted it to be. Enjoying success at work, a happy marriage, and a growing family - they couldn't ask for more! But when tragic accidents left Nathan paralyzed from the neck down, suddenly the life they sought and even expected was changed irreversibly. What do you do when life seems to fall apart and there is no easy way to fix every new problem and challenge facing you and your family? If you ask the Ogden's, the answer is to believe. In the face of their unbelievable tragedy and odds stacked high against them, the Ogden's held onto faith and chose to push hopefully onward into their new lives - even starting a foundation, Chair the Hope, which provides wheelchairs to less fortunate individuals and communities all over the world. Through humor, turning outward and serving others, and their love of each other, their family, and God, the Ogden's life is a true example of the gospel in action.To learn more, volunteer, or donate to Chair the Hope, head to the links below:chairthehope.orgInstagram - @chairthehopeFollow the Ogden's on Instagram!Heather Ogden - @hotmommashakerNathan Ogden - @nathan_ogdenThe Ogden Family - @rollinwiththeoggies If you would like to support The Men Who Love God, head to the link below to make a donation!Donate Here!For more inspiring content, be sure to follow The Men Who Love God on instagram!@menwholovegod Learn more about your ad choices.
