Invite Greg Carico to Speak

Some stories are told to entertain.
Some are told to inspire.
This one is told because survival is only the beginning.

Friendship, Forgiveness, and Forever: The Acts 2:22 Experience is Greg Carico’s true story of one reckless night in 1985 that ended in death, catastrophic spinal cord injury, grief, survivor’s guilt, and a lifetime of questions.

But the story did not end on Mayhood Road.

It continued through a sacred blessing, rehabilitation, faith, friendship restored, forgiveness earned over decades, and a forty-year journey that ultimately led back to Jesus Christ.

Greg speaks with honesty, humor, grit, and faith about what it means to keep living after the moment that should have destroyed you.

The wreck was real.
The loss was real.
The consequences were real.
But so was the mercy.

And through it all, one truth remained:

Jesus Christ was stronger than the wreckage.
