This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

Welcome to the Tudor Dixon podcast.

You probably all remember the story of Elizabeth Smart.

You remember the story of her being taken from her bed in the middle of the night in 2002.

I think we were all stuck by the TVs, hoping that this beautiful little girl

would be returned home and yet believing that nothing could possibly be, that you couldn't

possibly see her again in this world. And yet we did. And now I get the pleasure of speaking with this incredible survivor

today. Elizabeth Smart, welcome to the podcast. Thank you. Thank you for having me. Absolutely. I,

like I said, we all watched your story, of course, and you have spoken out. I've been so impressed

with the way that you have spoken out since

the abduction and the fact that you work so hard for people who have experienced sexual

abuse or abduction and any type of exploitation. You, like I said, you truly are an

inspiration to us. Oh, thank you very much. I mean,

I never imagined this would be my life. I obviously never imagined I would be kidnapped either,

but looking back, I'm not sorry that it happened to me because it's given me so much purpose and passion in my life

that I would like to think I would have had, but truthfully, I don't think I would have had

otherwise. You know, there's always something special about, you know, as I was watching

your Amazon documentary, I was watching through and you talk about your experience.

And obviously we see kind of a reenactment of what happened with your abductors and your kidnappers.

And something struck me in that.

And that is the strength of your faith at 14.
