This episode will leave you speechless.
Meet Chris Goff, a man whose life changed in a single week. One moment, he walked into the emergency room—just hoping for answers—and the next, he was fighting for his life. Within days, Chris’s heart gave out, and he was placed on ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation)—a machine that literally worked as his heart and lungs—keeping him alive until a donor heart could be found.
And then, the miracle happened… just one week later.
You’ll hear Chris share the raw, emotional details of what it’s like to be shocked without sedation, to face death head-on, and to hold on to hope even when everything seems impossible. His courage, gratitude, and faith shine through every moment of his story.
This is not just a medical miracle—it’s a testament to the power of organ donation and the strength of the human spirit.
