Crossing the Finish Line: A Story of Overcoming Obstacles

Always inspired from you guys even though i am an Orthodox Christian. I love your faith and devotion to Jesus Christ. Much love.

Some people would laugh at your finding comfort even in just a picture of Christ, but I've been in those shoes. You are absolutely faithful, and hopeful people, and I'm thankful for your examples, and pray for your continued success and happiness, even if it is defined more by the Lord's definition of success than the world's.

Three young gentlemen missionaries came by my residence today and blessed me with this gem right here, bless your heart stud, and keeping running for your dreams!!✌️❤️

That Grandpa who carries pictures of Christ with him is BOMB. So are these 2 young men! and the parents!

I really liked how the adult who helped him on the trail carried around pictures of Christ. I have mialytis right now and struggle to walk. This was so inspiring!

Once I was injured in Iraq in 08, my life was crushed...I found this video in 2022...14 years after my first injury. Thank you

So smart & thoughtful to carry around pictures of the Savior. There are many who hurt physically or spiritually. To be able to give someone that hope in a hard moment, is a gift. Dallin is just amazing what a great spirit he has in him. He’s a modern day Stripling Warrior.

The moment an emergency happens is not the time to prepare for the emergency. You have to win a series of battles in order to win the war. This young man clearly worked on his spiritual foundation years before tragedy struck. We must prepare before the emergency

I got injured my first year of high school cross country, and i was devastated. It wasn't a permanent injury, but it was right after my first race, and i ran fast enough to be on varsity. While my injury wasn't life threatening or as permanent as the injury in this video, it still made me remember crying in the doctor's office because I was going to be missing my first cross country season. I love this video and i felt the spirit strongly, stronger than any other video the church has put out. Thank you.

The positivity of Dallin is what is noteworthy to me. “The cup may be half full of water, but it’s all the way full. Half with water and half with air.” We all pray for miracles, but the miracle isn’t getting what we want, the miracle is being grateful for what we have…and then working to bless others. Thanks for blessing us with your example, Dallin!

It was inspiring. It speaks to the hours of growth experienced by everyone during recovery. Father indeed blesses us in so many small and unseen ways.

Faith precedes miracles , an inspiring story, thank you for sharing!!!

I love that testimony. "Even in our darkest moment, we can always look towards God and trust that He is always there"

In 2001 my husband and I were in a fatal plane crash. We were life flighted to the AZ Burn Center where I resided for 6 long months. Three of those months were spent in a medically induced coma as my life hung in the balance. When I finally “awoke”, the first thing my eyes focused on, was that same picture of Christ hung on the wall opposite the foot of my bed. Under it were the words, “Sometimes we are called upon to do hard things, but we can do hard things.” Through faith I know, that no one in the existence of this earth has ever endured anything harder than our Savior Jesus Christ has through His atonement for us. I was delivered strength to do all that was required of me to eventually leave that hospital and get back to my husband and five children, because of that picture of Christ and those fifteen simple words. I testify through faith and experience, that with Christ, we can do hard things!

Andrew and Dallin are spiritually mature young men. Andrew praying out loud as he runs for help and Dallin praying that he will live are powerful examples of turning to God in faith during a crisis. They were also attuned to many miracles like Ed turning left that day (who carries a print copy of Jesus Christ with them?!). I commend the exemplary parents for teaching and raising faith filled sons. God is infinitely merciful, kind and watchful.

This is exactly what I needed in the very moment that I needed it! 🙌🥺🙏🏼 God bless this young man!

So dallen is in my ward and I just want to say that he doing so good and he is smiling every day and always looks so happy,also Andrew is my cousin and I remember him being really worried about dallen but it's really good to see Dallen smile every day ❤🩵

What a miracle. Tears are in my eyes.... I hope I can live up to this example

What an inspiring young man. The doubtless faith of children is beyond belief.

Oh man, I am such a wimp compared to this guy. I got attacked by a German Sheppard three weeks ago while working, and I am having a tough time. Its nothing compared to what this 15 year old has been through. I am trying to use Christ's grace to lift me so that I can do everything I did before. Its hard. But, thank you for giving me hope.
