Faith in motion

The game taught me. Faith carried me.

Dash is a Christian student-athlete whose story is rooted in faith, family, and basketball. After he first complained of jaw pain in the summer of 2024, his family sought care right away. Doctors diagnosed a tumor that August, and Dash had jaw surgery on October 7. He remains in remission, with regular scans to make sure the tumor hasn’t returned. Today, he shares his testimony with teams, schools, and churches.

What he speaks about

A faith that meets people where they are.

01

Surrender, not the size of your faith.

'The measure of faith has nothing to do with it. It's all about your surrender to allow God to do it the way HE wants to.' — Susan Ables

02

Healing comes in many forms.

Some are healed through medicine, some through a miracle, some through a remedy. Every one of those roads is God's road, and no family should feel a harder outcome came from weaker faith.

03

The tumor was meant to silence him. It didn't.

It grew in his jaw. The attack was meant to bury him and take his voice. Instead, he cannot help but tell people about his miracle. Coming through it became the moment he recognized what mattered to him, and what he wanted: to play basketball. Every game is a small, loud piece of evidence that the attack did not win.

“Sometimes God can even use a kid to confirm something.”

— Susan Ables
