Actor Jeremy Renner says that he is seeing major blessings following the near-death experience that almost ended his life.
In an interview with Fox News, Renner explained how, after he was almost crushed by a snowplow back in 2023, the accident shifted his life and limits, describing how something like that “changes everything.”

“…there’s so many blessings kind of bestowed onto me because of being tested to your limits. You know when you know, and I guess I got tested to a limit and still got through. So I know what a bad day feels like. So I don’t expect to have any of those ever again, you know?” Renner said.
As Fox noted, in 2024, Renner told “The Tonight Show” that this tragic event was a “great gift.”
As Christians, we know that even in life’s darkest valleys, God can use pain to produce perseverance and turn tragedy into testimony. Jeremy Renner’s story is a reminder that no matter how severe the storm, there are blessings to be found on the other side when we choose to keep moving forward. Just as James 1:2–4 reminds us to “consider it pure joy…whenever you face trials of many kinds,” we too are called to trust that God is shaping us through hardship, building endurance, faith and purpose even when we don’t yet see the whole picture.

During this time, let’s also pray for Renner, that he would recognize the ultimate source of those blessings and who saved his life: Jesus Christ. Just as God has restored his body, may He awaken Renner’s heart to the One who is the true giver of life and the author of every blessing.
