  • EP 2: Flipping the Script on Disabilities w/ Gianna Trotter
    Nov 11 2025

    A life-changing car accident left one-year-old Gianna Trotter with a traumatic brain injury and paralyzed on the right side of her body. She could have gone through the rest of her life feeling sorry for herself and accepting her limitations, but instead, God has used her to show others that the only limitations they have are created by their own thoughts.

    In this episode, Gianna shares her journey navigating the disability she acquired in her early life and how God and horses saved her. Now a para-showjumping athlete, a strong woman of faith, and a public speaker with a heart for showing others that they too can overcome, Gianna is creating impact across industries.

  • EP 1: Delivered From Death to Life Through Faith w/ Dominick Imperato of Emeth Photography
    Oct 2 2025

    "I died. But God brought me back to life." After 3 heart attacks, 2 seizures, and a stroke due to a drug overdose, Dominick Imperato lay in a hospital bed, clinically dead for minutes. But Jesus wasn't finished with his story.

    In this episode, Dominick opens up about his addiction and how he overcame it with the love of God and horses. Well known on the West Coast and East Coast horse show circuits for his gift for capturing the bond between horse, riders, and their support teams, Dominick is beloved by both horses and people.

    His inspiring story shows us that when we live out the purpose God plants in our hearts, we thrive. By trusting and giving his life to Jesus, Dominick now runs his own private photography business, Emeth Photography, with all the glory going to the God who saved him.
