What happens when you go blind at 29,000 feet on Mount Everest?In this episode of Between the Prayer and the Promise, Laneice Leads sits down with Brian Dickinson—former U.S. Navy Aviation Rescue Swimmer, solo Mount Everest summiter, keynote speaker, and author of Blind Descent—to unpack one of the most harrowing survival stories ever told.After summiting Mount Everest alone, Brian’s goggles froze, leaving him temporarily blind during his descent in the “Death Zone.” With oxygen dwindling, winds exceeding 50 mph, and no possibility of rescue, he navigated by touch and sound—reversing the Hillary Step and walking a two-foot-wide ridge without sight.But this story goes deeper than survival.We discuss:• Faith under extreme pressure• Psalm 46:10 and the power of stillness• How elite training and spiritual surrender coexist• Survivor’s guilt and redefining identity after success• Faith and focus as anchors in crisisIf you’re walking through a season where you cannot see your next step—this conversation will ground you.🔔 Subscribe for more faith-centered conversations.👍 Like & Share with someone climbing their own mountain.#BrianDickinson #MountEverest #FaithInCrisis #ChristianPodcast #BlindDescent #BetweenThePrayerAndThePromise
