Dom Fusco experienced his first spiritual transformation when he was baptized at age 23. His second came a few years later, when a cardiac arrest caused him to collapse during a run, leaving him “flatline dead” for two and a half minutes. Surviving that moment made him realize that God wasn’t finished with him yet. This week Dom talks with Nate Dewberry about those two turning points and how they now shape his work as a content creator and fitness coach – helping people build both physical wellness and spiritual strength.
