Miracles, Mercy, and the Long Road Back: David Ebel on Faith, Suffering, and Radical Love

April 27, 2026/by Two Outlaws

A conversation on pain, redemption, church hurt, and the quiet power of loving people as they are

There are stories that feel polished.

And then there are stories that feel lived.

This week, we ride with David Ebel — a man who, by every metric, wasn’t supposed to make it past 20… and yet somehow built a life defined not by limitation, but by service, humor, and an almost stubborn commitment to love.

From experimental medical trauma at birth to decades of chronic pain…
From addiction and depression to a sudden, undeniable spiritual awakening…
From clowning ministry to counseling the broken, the addicted, the grieving…

David’s story doesn’t move in a straight line. It spirals. It wrestles. It contradicts itself — just like life. Read more
