About this episode

Mark and Ashley Ollin share their harrowing experience of their daughter Emory's battle with a brain tumor and the power of faith during their darkest moments.

A normal morning turned into every parent’s worst nightmare. Ashley and Mark share the unimaginable story of their daughter Emory—who woke up one day paralyzed, only to be diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumor. What followed was a fight for her life that included multiple brain surgeries, intense chemotherapy, and 19 days on life support. At one point, doctors told them to prepare for the end. But in the middle of fear, doubt, and heartbreak… they chose faith. From moments that nearly broke them to experiences they can’t explain, this episode is a powerful reminder that even in the darkest places, miracles still happen. This is a story about resilience, perspective, and trusting God—especially when nothing makes sense. And it’s one you will never forget.
