Surviving a Deadly Tsunami as a Child Sparks Lifelong Pursuit of Courage - Riley Kehoe
Monday, March 10, 2025
What would you do if you were suddenly facing a tsunami hurling towards you? Where would you go? Where would you hide? This was the terrifying situation Riley Kehoe and her family found themselves in while vacationing in Thailand in 2004, when a massive tsunami struck the coastline a day after Christmas. Riley was only 10 years old, and the miraculous events that God set into motion that day saved her entire extended family. Despite the trauma of the event, Riley today is an author, speaker, and influencer who challenges people to face the tsunamis of life with courage and fortitude. How will we respond to those terrifying and challenging moments of life? “All we need is a little more courage,” Riley says. Her life is a testament to the saving grace of God and the strength we can find when we embrace the courage He has given us.
