Imagine being on the brink of an ordinary business trip, only for it to spiral into a tale of survival against all odds. This episode brings to light the arresting narrative of Jose Angel Pereira Ruimwyk, a Citgo oil and gas executive in the US, whose life was changed forever when he was falsely imprisoned in Venezuela on espionage charges. Jose describes the eerie forewarning that presaged his ordeal, and the subsequent struggle for sustenance within the walls of a Caracas prison. His poignant recount of isolation, health battles, and the flicker of hope reignited by a precious phone call with his wife is nothing short of a testament to human resilience.
As we dissect Jose's journey through the darkest days, we expose the life rafts that kept him afloat: the clasp of hope, the power of a positive mindset, his faith, the Bible, his family and fellow prisoners, and the crucial role of spirituality. He shares the strategies that shepherded him through the tempest—focus, calm, and a resolute spirit nourished by prayer, exercise, and the truths in the Bible. With inspiration from the apostle Paul, Jose also becomes a beacon in adversity, reminding us that solidarity, community support, and faith can illuminate the path to resilience and reclaiming one's life from the jaws of despair.

Hi!
I’m Karen Hall, Host of The Hero Within Podcast.
Today we hear from my good friend, Becky Belnap in Part 2. If you haven't heard Part 1 of Mitochondrial Miracles yet, click here and make sure to listen as Becky shares more about herself and her trials.
Becky married Newell Belnap and two of their 4 children have a rare mitochondrial disease, a genetic disorder called Leigh's Syndrome. It is so rare that only 30 kids in the nation have this disease, and despite the debilitating effects, Becky exhibits her grateful attitude and says her children "hit the jackpot" on their genetic mutation.
Becky describes the miracle being on a medical odyssey and being blessed to find the right doctors to have the genetic disorder correctly diagnosed and to get the help they needed. She earned a degree in Public Health and now works for the Nexus Coalition for Drug Prevention teaching in schools.

Today, you will learn:
*How Becky turned to the Lord in her adversity and He inspired her to use tools to help her cope day to day.
*Becky feels that exercise is the most under-utilized anti-depressant there is.
*Addictions are formed when seeking relief when the pain is excruciating in response to things feeling out of control. *We all have Adverse Childhood Events ACEs and we need to offer ourselves and others grace.
*
The Lord heals all wounds.
*How Becky continues to cope with the tools the Spirit inspired her to use including exercise, building a support system with friends, gratitude, music, prayer, and worship.
*How the Lord has blessed Becky with hope and gratitude.

*Developing a relationship with the Lord takes effort over time.
*It also takes effort, courage and persistence to find the help we need. Keep trying!
*We are bonded in our adversity club.

Have you felt the Lord strengthen you in your adversity? What has helped you deal with your trials? I'd love to hear about it!
Wishing you lots of love on your own hero’s journey,
xoxo, Karen

Hi!
I’m Karen Hall, Host of The Hero Within Podcast.

If you haven't heard Part 1, click here to listen to the first part of their story, starting with their love story and desire to have several children.

Today in Part 2, Jacqueline continues sharing the unexpected twists and turns, heartbreak and trauma, as well miracles and how these experiences impacted her and her husband in their marriage.
She shares how they each grieved differently and it led to some conflict that they had to work through. At times, they weren't on the same page regarding children, as they previously had been.
But as they focused on their blessings, they grew in gratitude towards parenting and this helped them gain perspective during the normal annoyances in family life.
Despite all the struggles, they grew closer and more unified. Their love for each other deepened and they knew that family is what life is all about and they were willing to make additional sacrifices.
Jacqueline explains how having children was their number one goal and it's what brought them joy in this life. Eventually, they exhausted all options and they turned to surrogacy in hopes of adding another child to their family.
Have you and your spouse had any challenges or conflict in your decision to have children? What did you learn?
I'd love to hear your thoughts and our guests sure value your feedback too! We really appreciate it! Also, please follow to be alerted to upcoming episodes.
