  <title>171. Miracles Amidst Tragedy: A 2004 Tsunami Survivor's Story of Faith and Courage</title>
  <description>Join me as I sit down with Riley, a 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami survivor. Riley recounts the harrowing day when a 50-foot tsunami struck while she was on a beach in Thailand with her family. Amidst chaos and devastation, Riley's encounter with God's tangible presence helped her overcome immense fear and trauma. We discuss her journey to healing, including her parents' courageous decision to stay and help the local community, and how facing her fears head-on led her to complete a beach lifeguard training. Riley also shares miraculous stories from her mission trips around the world and encourages listeners to find strength in their faith.
