Shot while hunting, saved by God: The Hunter Rasmussen Story

When Hunter Rasmussen went hunting with his cousin, he never imagined how that day would change his life forever.
One gunshot. 132 pellets. A split-second moment that took his leg but gave him a mission.

In today’s episode, we sit down with Hunter as he walks us through the accident that nearly killed him, the trauma that followed, and the miracles that carried him through months of pain, surgery, and healing.

From almost bleeding out on a mountainside to being told he’d never walk again, Hunter opens up about what it really means to face loss, find faith, and rebuild your life from the ground up.

This episode is about more than physical recovery. It’s about identity, surrender, and discovering that the foundation of your life can’t be taken when it’s built on Christ.

We talk about the moment he realized God wasn’t punishing him—He was preparing him.
How he found humor in the pain (“my favorite restaurant’s IHOP now”).
And how choosing to share his story online became the healing that helped others heal too.

If you’ve ever wondered how to find purpose in pain or how to keep your faith when your world collapses—this story will move you.

Topics covered:

The day Hunter was accidentally shot while hunting
The spiritual prompting that saved his life
Facing amputation and identity loss
How humor, faith, and family carried him through recovery
Turning pain into purpose through social media
Rebuilding your foundation on Christ

Share this episode with someone who needs the reminder:
Even when life takes everything, God can rebuild anything.Faith can outlast fear.And your pain might just be the platform for your purpose.
