As a young boy, Paul Miller lived in fear. Initially, it was a fear of death. Not necessarily his own death but the death of his parents because he was unsure of what came after death and he didn\u2019t want to live alone.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This fear led to Paul accepting Christ as his Savior.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Still, Paul admits that the fear of man remained strong in his heart as he struggled to speak like every normal pre-school child. What was causing Paul to not speak, like his sister of their friends?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After rounds of medical tests, Paul was diagnosed with oral motor apraxia, a speech inhibiting disorder. This disease kept him from speaking, and doctors told Paul\u2019s parents that he would never be able to speak.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But through the power of Christ, Paul\u2019s faithful mother prayed, \u201cwith the help of my God, He will [speak].\u201d And, now, according to Paul, some family members jokingly say they pray, \u201cPaul will not speak as much.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Paul graduated from Cedarville University in May and is now pursuing his passion of making movies. Throughout college, Paul began developing a network of relationships that could pave the way for a career in the Christian film industry.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And, knowing Paul, he will pursue his passion with boldness\u00a0 instead of the fear that gripped him as a young, speechless boy.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
