Behind Brian's JOurney

Paralyzed after a devastating accident, Brian Ziegler’s story shows how God can rebuild even the most broken lives.

"Pastor Brian Ziegler’s life story as told in “A Paralyzing Redemption” is one of the most powerful testimonies I have ever encountered.


As a parishioner at his church, Rivertree Fairless, I have seen firsthand how Brian’s testimony and faith have transformed lives.  What has impacted me most is how Brian didn’t let tragedy define him. Instead, as he tells his story, he began to see his wheelchair not as a prison, but as a platform for ministry. That perspective has changed how I see my own struggles. His story about sharing Christ with his rehab nurse and seeing her come to faith reminds us that no place and no person is too broken for God’s love and redemption.


Brian isn’t just telling a story—he’s living it every day. His testimony is more than an autobiography; it’s a tool for making disciples. I’ve watched people in our church, especially young men, open up about how Jesus changed their lives. A Paralyzing Redemption proves that Jesus still redeems, still calls, and still transforms—and Pastor Brian is living proof."

"Brian Ziegler is awesome!


His story captured the hearts  of more than 750 students and leaders at Rush Camp 2025. His ability to give God the glory through the most difficult of situations truly helped our students see the need for the gospel of Jesus in their lives too. I highly recommend you bring Brian in right away!"
