With deep conviction and faith, Al Foxx shares his testimony of how Jesus is his strength and hope, even when the world seems to have the upper hand. The first several years following his paralyzing motorcycle crash almost broke Al’s spirit, but because his family and friends never quit praying for him, and because God loves to answer prayers and bind up the broken hearted, He showed Al how to see opportunities where he had seen only obstacles.

Remembering that God made you special. You are unique. No one can take your place.

Confident Christians

Al’s experiences with his Lord have shaped his ABCs into a message of hope outlined by these ABCs:
Accept God’s Plan for your life.
Believe he’ll meet all your needs.
Crucify your selfish desires. “Sounds like Christianity is another word for transformation. It is, but don’t hear me wrong. God loves us just the way we are, but he loves us too much to leave us the way we are. In other words, a real relationship with God transforms us into what He wants us to be.
A Crash Course in Faith
All ages
Since everyone has had their own version of a motorcycle crash, Al's simple 3 step process of developing a relationship with God is widely appreciated. Al calls his three steps the "ABC of Christianity:
Accept God's plan for your life.
Believe He'll meet all your needs.
Choose Jesus as the Lord of your life.

Al shows how attitudes of racism and prejudices effect how people sometimes relate to those who are disabled physically, financially, emotionally or any other way. His talk brings a new positive way of seeing people who are different than us.
Winners Don't Quit
Regardless of what age they are or what they are doing, the more confident people are the better they do. Al Foxx tells how a paralyzing motorcycle crash stole his self-confidence and how he learned to restore confidence by filling your own and others’ “self-esteem buckets.” Al shares the power of goals and how he relearned to talk, walk, and drive. “Life,” he says, “is like a book.” His message is: Your life is a book. You are the author. Write a happy ending. With clean humor and stories, Al shows students how to win at life.

Debbie Matson, Cedar Park Chapel Coordinator
Al delivered a very powerful and inspirational presentation intertwining his miraculous recovery with his strong faith and trust in God. Our group was moved by Al's aspiration and determination to regain as much of his abilities as he possibily could, believing that God was there to support him. His sprinkle of humor nicely lightened an otherwise serious subject.
We highly recommend him for any Christian group. He is a walking testimony for God's faithful gifts, if one believes in Him.
Hellen C, Fung, Ph.D., Mercer Island Congregational Church
Your "Winners Don't Quit philosophy and the humorous way you delivered your message leaves little excuse for anyone to have a permanent pity party. Your victories are living proof that no matter what, with faith and goals, a person can "overcome".
Thanks again for a very enjoyable and enlightening evening, and best wishes in your future endeavors. We would highly recommend you to anyone looking for words of encouragement, about life.
Anita Evans, Viewcrest Assembly of God
To whom it may concern:
Al Foxx has an extraordinary story to tell as we learned at a recent Men’s Dinner. After a month in a coma, he awoke with the left side of his traumatized body paralyzed from the neck down. Doctors told him he would never walk again or talk normally; God had a different plan. Al’s testimony is one of God given courage and stamina as he undertook a grueling recovery process. God’s greatest gift to Al is hope and he shares that gift with his audience.
Al tells his story blending humor with Biblical wisdom and a strong dose of practical thinking as he gives insight to life and living. You’ll be riveted to your chair with the intensity of his motor vehicle accident and recovery; suddenly you’ll find yourself rolling in the aisle with laughter. His unique perspective will disarm you; his story-telling ability will catch you off guard...repeatedly.
Through his wit, warmth, insight, and realism he brings hope to his audiences. Al’s life journey encourages and challenges those who need a vision of what is possible. I highly recommend Al Foxx to you and your organization.
Sincerely,
Ken Huckey, Northshore Baptist, Pastor-Men’s Ministries
