How can we love ourselves with the scars we carry? In this week’s podcast, Cody Byrns teaches us how to not allow our scars to keep us bound in bitterness and defeat. In May of 2013, Cody’s life was drastically changed. While stopped at a red light on the highway, Cody was rear-ended by a box-truck that failed to stop. As a result, he was considered dead until first responders saw his hand move. He received many injuries that day, including severe burns to almost 40% of his body. After years of countless surgeries and rehabilitation, he uses his story to uplift others. You can live free from the bonds of scars (physical and emotional) and run towards your God-given potential.
