Levi Shepherd, 18, had one more parachute jump before finishing his Airborne school course and moving a step closer to his goal of becoming an Army Ranger. On a beautiful summer day at Fort Benning, Georgia, Levi and his fellow trainees climbed into their C-130 Hercules plane and took off. Minutes later, they stood in the wind blast at the aircraft’s open jump doors, watching the earth rush by 1300 feet below. When it was Levi’s turn, he stepped out into air. But as soon as he reached the end of his static line that would deploy his parachute, he knew something had gone horribly wrong. Nothing ever came easy in Levi’s life, from a life-threatening illness, to his absentee father and the loss of his mother, to staggering betrayals by adults. But throughout, young Levi caught glimpses of God’s love, and learned he was not alone. Join Levi as he tells his compelling story in a gritty, honest style that will leave you wondering how he survived at all, but then have you rejoicing as he rises above circumstances and learns the truth in life: Life is going to hurt, but God is with us in the midst of it. He is there. There is hope. You’ll come away convinced that we all can be More Than Conquerors!
