9/11 survivor and former Secret Service agent Darin Kinder shares how surviving the World Trade Center led him to discover God’s purpose for his life.

On September 11, 2001, Darin Kinder should have died.
As a young Secret Service agent inside the World Trade Center complex, he ran toward danger — helping evacuate survivors from Tower 1.
But moments before collapse, he felt led away from two vehicles that were later found completely destroyed.
That day didn’t just change his life…
It reshaped his purpose.
In this powerful conversation, Darin shares:
• What it was like inside the World Trade Center on 9/11
• The moment he heard, “I am with you”
• Why God stayed silent for 5 years after he asked for his mission
• How survival led to surrender
• What it means to lead as a husband, father, and business leader
• Why true leadership begins with humility and “teaching from your scars”
Darin’s story reminds us:
We’re not meant to sit safely on the sidelines.
We’re called to step into the arena — to live lives that serve, lead, and make a difference.
A conversation about courage, obedience, and living a life that gets your “suit dirty.”
