Foreword

I first met Jen in September 2014 at an event in Beverly Hills. I introduced her to the audience and watched their reaction. They were instantly and completely blown away by her, just as I had been.

It was clear from that very first meeting that Jen and I had a connection. It isn’t often I meet someone who shares so many of the same truths and goals: dream big; embrace what God has given you; bring light where there are shadows; spread hope, faith, love, and peace.

I love her relationship with God and how she inspires others to find Him. She does it not just through her words but through her actions. When she is face-to-face with adversity, she never lets it stand in the way of her joy and purpose. Her faith is unflappable. She is grateful not only for God’s gifts but also for the opportunities to try and fail and grow. Jen and I have talked about how we both see our “disabilities” as advantages. God doesn’t make mistakes; neither of us is a mistake. God knew exactly what He was doing when He created both of us.

A story like hers is so rare, and I’m proud of the fact that she is one of the few speakers I trust to take speaking invitations that I unfortunately cannot accept through Attitude is Altitude’s speaking bureau. I’m proud of her for having the courage to truly put herself out there and share her story. But I also believe this is just the beginning. God has a lot more in store for Jen Bricker. Whether she’s performing her aerial act or speaking before crowds of thousands, I can’t wait to see her soar.
