I Was Delivering My First Child Then The Second Plane Hit | 9/11 Story | Core Lowe | C2S Episode 27

🎙️ In this unforgettable episode of the Called 2 Serve Podcast, Host Reggie Hubbard sits down with Corey Lowe — a former law enforcement officer, faith-filled mother, and relentless advocate for plant-based medicine — to share a story that begins on one of the darkest days in U.S. history.

On September 11, 2001, Corey was in labor, delivering her first child as the twin towers were being attacked. Inside a hospital room on Peachtree Street, as nurses cried and buildings nearby were evacuated, Corey was faced with the birth of a daughter who would later be diagnosed with a rare and life-threatening disorder.

What followed was a 20+ year journey filled with heartbreak, hope, and hard choices — from abandoning a law enforcement career to crossing state lines for access to life-saving CBD oil, to raising two children with special needs, all while holding fast to her faith.
