Tragedy to Triumph: Vincent Rutley on “Elijah and the Potter” | Healing, Purpose & New Beginnings

Today on The Morning Show, we welcome author Vincent Rutley, whose deeply moving journey from tragedy to transformation inspired his debut book, Elijah and the Potter. This episode is powerful, personal, and full of heart. In 2011, Vincent was involved in a life-altering car accident — an experience that forced him to reexamine everything he knew about strength, purpose, and resilience. That journey eventually led him to writing, storytelling, and creating a book filled with hope, healing, and meaning. About Elijah and the Potter Vincent’s book explores what it means to be shaped, refined, and rebuilt — much like clay in the hands of a potter. Through its characters and rich symbolism, it speaks to anyone who has ever faced hardship, loss, or moments of deep uncertainty. In this episode, we talk about: • The car accident that changed Vincent’s life forever • How he became a first-time author • The message and mission behind Elijah and the Potter • What he hopes readers carry with them long after the final page Vincent also brought character cutouts and a hard copy of the book, giving viewers an inside look at the world he created.
