This week on The Ben Peterson Show, Ben sits down with Mick Wienholt for one of the most powerful conversations we’ve had yet.

After surviving a catastrophic avalanche that left his skull shattered in multiple places, Mick walked away believing he had simply beaten the odds. But years later, after the devastating loss of his unborn son, he came face-to-face with a pain he could not overcome on his own.

What followed changed everything.

From trauma, grief, and surrender, to fatherhood, faith, technology, and purpose — Mick shares how God met him in his darkest moment and completely transformed the direction of his life.

This conversation goes far beyond survival.
It’s about identity.
Purpose.
Faith in a world consumed by distraction.
And why no technology can replace the voice of our Creator.

WATCH UNTIL THE END - this story could change how you see pain, purpose and the power of redemption. Engage Your Destiny (EYD) is a 501(c)3 on a mission to help combat the deadly epidemic of military suicide with faith.
