The Truth Will Set You Free | Scott Sargeant | TEDxDonovanCorrectional

For 18 years, Scott inspired countless people with his story of courage and triumph, and yet lived locked away in an inner prison of his own guilt and shame, hiding a dark secret about how he became paralyzed from the neck down. Discover from Scott’s journey how he found his way out, and how your truth will set you free.
"…a lifelong love of athletics, the outdoors and adventure… From the beauty of a sunset over the Pacific to the adrenaline rush of pushing my body beyond limits as an Olympic athlete, to physically recovering from heart-breaking devastation of being quadriplegic and going on to strive for new mountaintops, I’ve ridden big waves of the agony and ecstasy of my human experience."
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Bravo! So beautiful & brave ... Your work has just let doors open & healing begin for all in that room & many that end up tuning in. ...Next, thank God, your purposeful truth-telling can keep allowing others to see how we can all struggle & yet eventually achieve an unburying of our own personal truths, good or bad. What a very good thing. And a real gift! Since nowadays we all - (more than ever it seems) - are in a world filled with people fearful of admitting their mistakes or sense of having a frail (but natural & normal!) human makeup. Instead that tendency to keep imprisoning one another reigns due to some whacko & false need for a facade. But grateful for your honesty that is healing & thus letting some blessed persons feel free to open up & lighten their shame, burdens &/or imprisonment. Way to go, Scott! Great job & congrats, too, for your own rough however joyful healing steps that releases you to brighter days ahead. :)

Interesting how people help themselves to plagiarizing God's Word, when they have no intention of even mentioning His name! smh
