On Wednesday, April 24, host Judy Comeaux interviewed Darren Sinkule from West about his inspiring story of his newly found love for our Lord after his heart transplant. Darren grew up just outside of West, Texas and graduated from St. Mary’s Catholic School in West. Darren talks about how he learned the importance of prayer from his grandmother, as they would pray a Rosary every day after school. He served ever since he was a young child at mass every day, and was even told by a priest that he might be called to become a priest. When he grew up, Darren says he became very sinful, full of pride and anger. His wife, Stephanie had been praying for something to humble her husband. Suddenly, he was diagnosed with a heart condition. In 2011, he was asked to attend an ACTS retreat, where he was deeply humbled. He said “my life changed.” After Darren got back from the retreat, he told God that he would surrender to him. He was getting weaker as the years went on, and on April 16, 2013, he had congestive heart failure. On April 22, Darren was told he needed a heart transplant. He talks about his journey and prayer life throughout this time as he waited, and he received his heart on May 15, 2013. Now, Darren not only has a new heart, but he also has an even bigger heart for God. We hope you enjoy this episode! And remember, when choosing between the values of heaven and the values of earth, always round up!
