Most people go through life hoping to avoid life-altering events, but for Pastor Travis Hearn, a brain aneurysm wasn’t just a challenge—it was a divine calling. After the life-threatening event, Travis could have given up, but instead, he chose to rise and inspire. Today, he’s on a mission to use his story as a message of hope and resilience.
In this episode, Pastor Travis talks about his journey from broken beginnings to building Impact Church, a movement that started as a small Bible study for NFL athletes and has grown to touch tens of thousands. He discusses the life-threatening brain bleed, the miracle-filled recovery, and how his newfound perspective ignites everything he does.
Whether through sermons or his viral social media presence, Travis believes in making faith not only accessible but fun. His secret? Living life with integrity, building connections, and keeping hope alive, no matter the challenge — because the “Fire is for You!”
"I've went through some freaking hell in my life, and I'm not going to waste it. I'm going to talk about it, and I'm going to write about it, and I'm going to sing about it." ~ Travis Hearn
