God and a Purple Balloon - Robby and Correll Seidel Feb 28, 2023

Show notes

Robby Seidel had the hand of God reach down and give him an experience of such profound magnitude, that it changed his life forever, and set him and his wife Correll on a path of purpose that fills their souls. Today, they share their incredible story.
Robby and Correll Seidel lost their sixteen year old daughter, Kaitlin to sudden cardiac arrest on July 30, 2006 just three weeks after she had committed her life to Christ at a Young Life Camp in Colorado. In their grief and healing, they were invited back to the very camp on year later to retrace Kaitlin's footsteps. Little did they know that on this trip, God would miraculously deliver a purple balloon to bring Kaitlin's dad, Robby into relationship with Jesus at age 55, and change the trajectory of the lives of Robby and Correll Seidel forever.
