Punch Back: A miracle story of rising up when life knocks you down

In 2020, Scott and Kristi Schatzline were in the prime of their lives.

Even as the world shut down, they were speeding up; reaching into peoples’ lives with real help, hope, and healing. Little did they know, the most traumatic events of their lives were on the horizon—and would happen in quick succession. They didn’t know how deeply they would be tested, and how much they would need to rely on their faith to pull them through these great struggles.

Punch Back isn’t a story about how to live a trouble-free life. It’s not about textbook Sunday school answers that fit perfectly on a flannelgraph. Instead, it’s about the authentic guts of losing everything and wondering if you’ll ever find it again. It’s about punching back even when you’re not sure you have the strength to.

Welcome to this miracle story of rising up when life knocks you down.
