Finding Your Summit: How to Build Resilience and Faith to Rise Above Life’s Challenges

5.0 A Survival Story That Becomes a Blueprint for Resilience.

During his descent from the summit of Mount Everest, Mark Pattison ran out of oxygen, was snow-blind in one eye, and was depleted, fighting to survive. What saved him wasn’t a sudden surge of courage. It was a practice he’d built for years: ten more steps, again and again until forward motion became possible. In Finding Your Summit, Pattison traces the real climb behind the climb: the identity he built as a high-performing athlete, the setbacks that shook his confidence, and the relentless drive that pushed him from the NFL to the world’s highest peaks. Along the way, he discovers a harder truth than any summit: motivation isn’t magic, and resilience isn’t a slogan. It’s a daily, disciplined return to process, purpose, and faith when the path gets thin.
