The Jesus Storybook Bible Podcast


Feb 23, 2023

God’s greatest work, says author and speaker Kechi Okwuchi, is a kind of alchemy: He can transform pain into purpose. As one of two survivors of a commercial airline plane crash, Kechi shares her miraculous yet harrowing struggle to survive her trauma, and how she’s learned to draw strength from a story she never asked for.



Quotes 

“What sets you apart as a Christian, as a believer, is that when those bad things happen, it gives you a place to go to, to run to when they happen.”
- Kechi Okwuchi


“I learned that I need to learn about God for myself, know about Him for myself, so that I can understand how to pray for myself and how to access that feeling and that peaceful feeling like everything's going to be okay.”
- Kechi Okwuchi


“[I was] seeing God as this transactional figure, where you pray and He gives you results. And so when I didn't get the results I expected after praying, I got very frustrated and I had to deal with that.”
- Kechi Okwuchi


“Being a Christian does not exempt you from bad things happening to you in this world. That is not what Christianity or the faith is supposed to represent. It doesn't mean that you're suddenly shielded from life. Good and bad things happen to good and bad people.”
- Kechi Okwuchi


“I pray that anyone who has gone through any kind of trauma, whether it's as visible as mine or invisible, that they somehow are able to grasp the truth: that there is life after trauma to look forward to. Not only life where you survive, but one where you can actually thrive.”
- Kechi Okwuchi
