The Austin Gardner Story (Ep 3): 21 Days on a Ventilator — The COVID Coma & Waking Up in Fear

Send us Fan Mail

In Episode 3 of The Austin Gardner Story, Austin shares the most intense part of his journey: being put on a ventilator, placed into a medically induced coma, and losing time he can’t remember. For 21 days, his family feared the worst, while Betty battled COVID at home.

Austin describes the terrifying delirium and nightmares, the confusion of waking up to masked faces and unfamiliar voices, and the physical cost of critical illness—losing strength, losing muscle, and having to rebuild from almost nothing.

This episode carries a simple message: you can live as a victim, or you can choose victory by trusting God in the valley. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our lives.
