Tim Schut's Journey: Embracing Life with a Rare Speech Disorder

I've thought for years my superpower was my speech and I, as I said in the TED talk, that superpower is going to go away in the coming years.
Imagine being told that you’ll lose your ability to speak, your superpower of communication. That’s the reality Tim Schut faces after being diagnosed with Primary Progressive Apraxia of Speech (PPAOS), a rare neurodegenerative condition. In this heartfelt episode of 'Fortitude', Tim opens up about his journey, the emotional rollercoaster, and the unwavering support from his loving family. He delves into how he plans to spend his remaining time creating cherished memories with those he holds dear.
Tim's faith in Jesus Christ serves as a cornerstone in his life, offering him strength and hope amidst the challenges. This episode isn't just about a diagnosis; it's about resilience, love, and the power of community. Tune in to hear Tim's story and find inspiration in his determination to live fully, despite the odds.
