Chris Norton on How He Found Hope on the Sidelines

What do you do when the unthinkable happens? Chris Norton was faced with this question when, after a tragic football accident, he was told by doctors he would never walk again. Chris is the coauthor of The Seven Longest Yards, subject of the film 7 Yards: The Chris Norton Story and a motivational speaker sharing the story of how a life-altering football injury shaped his life for the better. In this episode, Chris and Ken discuss how faith, radical responsibility, community, and having a purpose outside of yourself can turn pain into something great. “I just have this belief that I am responsible for my future, right? You gave it to God, but then you got to do your part and put in the work, and I knew that I had to trust God. And what was going on and how we can turn this pain into a purpose. And then I got to do my part and get to work and see what can come from it.” - Chris Norton “No matter what you go through in life, if you keep going, if you keep praying and keep believing, know that good things can come. You don't know when it will come. But I do believe that God will turn your pain into a purpose.” - Chris Norton Never miss another episode! Subscribe to “On the Edge with Ken Harrison” today.
