During an interview with The Christian Post, Country singer Sara Evans revealed a faith fact that impacted her life when she was just 8-years-old.
At that age, she had a near-death experience when a car struck her in front of her parent’s home in Missouri.
She suffered a concussion and nearly lost her leg. The young Sara spent six weeks in the hospital undergoing a series of treatments and physical therapies. After the traumatic ordeal, Sara came out with a newfound sense of purpose and faith.
“After that, it was like there was a secret understanding between me and God that He had a special purpose for my life.”
“I have always have had a lot of resilience, I think starting from when I got hit by a car when I was eight years old,” Sara said in an interview with The Christian Post.
“After that, it was like there was a secret understanding between me and God that He had a special purpose for my life. There was a calling on my life, and I just knew that to be true at an early age.”

Since that moment, she said she started to hold her faith in God, not only to things related to her personal life, but also in her career.
“God saved me for a reason then, and He saved me time and time again. I’ve just always felt a special connection with God, not just as my true Father, but also as my best friend, my protector, my comfort. A lot of that came through trauma in my life.”
The Nashville-based artist now uses her success and platform to encourage people to put their faith in Jesus Christ, too.
“I don’t love organized religion but I love the Lord and I’ve accepted Jesus Christ. I’m saved by grace,” she said.
“I love sharing Bible verses on my social media pages to offer hope and encouragement. I think people are feeling hopeless and lost right now, and there have been moments in my own life where I’ve said, ‘Lord, you seem very distant. Where are you? I need you.’ And He always shows up. He’s never let me down.”
