After returning home, Tarwater’s uncle, Richmond Flowers Jr., was able to help him through the experience. In 1968, Flowers had been a gold medal favorite in the hurdles before suffering a hamstring injury two months before the Olympic Trials. “I think he knew the pain I was feeling and the disappointment I was feeling, because he felt same thing,” Tarwater recalled. Flowers offered perspective, instead of comfort: “I believe there is a God who created this, and it ain’t no accident. He’s got a plan … maybe it just wasn’t the right thing for you.” Soon after, Tarwater met pastor Doug Banister of All Souls Church in Knoxville. After several “really tough conversions” with Banister, Tarwater decided to “[dedicate his] life to Christ and basically relinquished control.”
