The UnderHeaven Podcast brings you a deeply moving episode. Trish talks with Roderick Jefferson, an executive leader, author, and survivor of a near-fatal stroke, to explore how purpose can emerge from life’s most unexpected interruptions. 

Roderick recounts the moment his body began to fail during a keynote trip, and an out‑of‑body encounter in which he learned about his new purpose. He shares the long journey that helped him rebuild his life, and the four F’s: faith, family, friends, and fun that now guide every decision he makes.

Roderick's book , Stroke of Success , has become a tool to help others find balance, resilience, and hope.  This conversation is a testimony of grace, survival, and the God who gives purpose even in the hardest chapters of our lives.
