In a moment that would shatter most of us, Chris did something extraordinary: he forgave the 17-year-old responsible. Not years later… but immediately.In this episode, Chris walks us through the unimaginable trauma of that night, the soul-crushing grief that followed, and the quiet, spiritual strength that helped him survive it.

Chris opens up about his journey with mental health, suicidal thoughts, and the life-changing moment he met the boy who took his family away.This isn’t just a story about tragedy; it’s a masterclass in grace, resilience, and hope.If you’re struggling with grief, anger, or the weight of things you can’t change, this episode will meet you in that place and gently show you the way forward.Key Moments:0:00 The Crash That Changed Everything1:58 “I Tried to Die Myself”8:14 A Divine Message: “Let It Go”13:03 “Why Us?” Finding Meaning in the Aftermath20:01 Meeting the 17-Year-Old Who Killed His Family28:21 Grief and Mental Health: 18 Years Later31:58 The Darkest Night35:12 The Lifeline of Support and Community41:05 What Real Support Looks Like45:25 Gaining a Broader Spectrum of EmpathyGuest Info:IG: @williamscs (https://www.instagram.com/williamscs/)-Where to find Tyler Hall: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tylerchall/ Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/the-tyler-hall-archives-7018241874482122753/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/sirTHALL Work with Tyler: https://www.tylerchristianhall.com/

  In this deeply personal episode of the Rollercoaster Podcast, I sit down with Melissa Methven...a mother, breathwork facilitator, dental professional, and widow as she shares the raw and heartbreaking story of losing her husband Scott to suicide while on a family trip to Maui. What began as a vacation to fulfill a dying father’s wish quickly unraveled into Melissa’s worst nightmare.Melissa opens up about the quiet signs of addiction, the unimaginable trauma of that day, and the ripple effects it had on her and her two young children.

But this isn’t just a story of loss, it’s one of healing, faith, and rebuilding.We talk about how she found breathwork, leaned into community, and slowly learned to move through the pain rather than avoid it. Melissa’s journey is a lifeline for anyone touched by addiction, suicide, or grief.If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to survive the unimaginable, this conversation is for you.Key Moments:0:01 Melissa Methven opens up5:54 Hope Before the Darkness7:25 My Husband's Sudden Shift10:15 The Emergency Response13:01 Waiting for the News21:07 The Moment He Passed24:00 My Son Said He Didn’t Want to Live28:00 Midnight Grief & Balcony Phone Calls31:15 Discovering Breathwork40:17 Returning to Routine47:02 Moving to Arizona56:58 Breaking the Silence in Dentistry1:01:19 Addiction and the Mask of Success1:05:52 The Power of Community and Vulnerability1:08:21 Her Final PleaGuest Info:IG - https://www.instagram.com/melissa_gratitude/?hl=enWebsite - https://www.melissagratitude.life/-Where to find Tyler Hall: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tylerchall/ Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/the-tyler-hall-archives-7018241874482122753/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/sirTHALL Work with Tyler: https://www.tylerchristianhall.com/

• My Childhood Was Stolen. My Future Almost Was Too Until God Interrupted | Daniel Goulding

  In this episode, I sit down with my good friend Daniel Goulding, pastor, father, and survivor for one of the most raw and redemptive conversations I’ve ever had on the show. Daniel shares his journey of being sexually abused as a child, burying that trauma for years, and the chaos that followed from addiction and self-destruction to a near-suicide attempt in a drug dealer’s bathroom. But this story isn’t just about pain, it’s about grace, healing, and transformation.Daniel opens up about the moment everything shifted: when he cried out to God, not knowing if He was even real, and felt peace for the first time. We explore the beauty of redemption, what it means to forgive the unforgivable, and how he went from broken addict to preaching the Gospel and baptizing dozens at his own church.If you’ve ever doubted God’s presence in your darkest moments, this one's for you. Daniel’s story is proof that there’s always a way back.Key Moments:4:40 How we met and became friends8:04 How trauma shaped Daniel14:00 Wrestling with forgiveness as a Christian18:55 A near-death experience32:09 The moment Daniel almost ended his life37:16 How he encountered God for the first time42:00 Discovering Jesus through unexpected moments46:20 Preaching for the first time51:05 Why Daniel preaches the way he does59:56 Why Daniel started Echo Church1:05:46 The story of Nehemiah and the call to buildGuest Info:IG: https://www.instagram.com/danielmgoulding/Website: https://www.echoes.church/#TRAUMA #god #abuseprevention -Where to find Tyler Hall: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tylerchall/ Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/the-tyler-hall-archives-7018241874482122753/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/sirTHALL Work with Tyler: https://www.tylerchristianhall.com/
