The Soul Goals, Episode 13: Don

Send us a text

Seasoned author and musician Don Wharton is not only a wonderfully creative individual, he’s also a survivor in every sense of the word.  Coming home from a mission trip with a group of six others in a twin engine plane in 1993, the engines both gave out over the Bering Sea near Nome, Alaska.  Their plane crashed in to the 36 degree waters where they floated over 3 to 6 foot waves for 35-70 minutes all together.  Each of them were rescued by a miraculous helicopter in the area over that time frame, surviving the situation even though no one who had ever landed in the Bering Sea had survived for more than 15 minutes (jump ahead to minute 30 for this life changing story.)

Don’s career as  an inspirational minister, writing and performing music and penning various uplifting books and novels, found him delivering messages of hope and love even prior to the plane crash.  Don and the other passengers’ survivals in such a grime circumstance was nothing short of a miracle and he is quick to tell you that without that foundation of faith, none of them would have made it through.  That experience only deepened his ministry as he went on to have a flourishing and fulfilling career spreading God’s word.

Don continues to spread his message of hope and love with his words and his music to this day.  His belief and drive to deliver the news of light, love, and faith is such an amazing gift he has always had within him.  Life can change your perspective and your outlook drastically but Don’s experience in 1993 has only deepened his drive.  His message of “if God can bring me through this, imagine what God can do for you” is a beautiful reminder for all of us to know that we never walk alone.

Don offers an array of books and is constantly creating and working towards his next authorship project.  To read more about him and to check out all of his motivational works, check out his website at www.donwharton.com.  You can also email Don at [email protected] to connect with one of the most upstanding humans around!
