| That Impossible Situation Isn’t the End of Your Story: Miracle Stories & Hearing God’s Voice | Stan Lovins II | 01 Sep 2026 | 00:46:40 | |
A woman with no pulse. A mother in a coma. A prophetic word for someone he didn’t know. In this episode of Witness the Wonder, Stan Lovins II shares incredible stories of miracles, hearing God’s voice, healing, prophecy, signs and wonders, and what can happen when you follow where God leads. Stan shares the encounter with 81-year-old Margaret Rose Cox that changed the direction of his life, the healing he says happened in his own body that same day, and the moment he realized, “I didn’t know Jesus, but I knew His voice.” Years later, an unexpected chain of events led him into the hospital room of a young mother in a coma whose doctors were considering pulling the plug. How Stan ended up there and what happened next is one of those stories you need to hear for yourself to believe. And before the conversation ends, Stan stops telling stories and begins praying as he receives prophetic words for those listening. Is what you can see really the end of your story? If you receive your healing while listening or prayed to receive Jesus during this episode, I’d love to hear about it.

| When God Says Go But Fear Says Stay | Miracles in Burma with Missionary David Small | 18 Aug 2026 | 00:49:39 | |
Twelve years ago, David Small couldn't find Burma on a map. Today, it's home. David Small has spent more than a decade serving as a Christian missionary in the war zones of Burma (Myanmar), where following God has meant sneaking across borders, navigating landmines, dodging sniper fire, and learning to trust God when there is no way to control what happens next. In this episode of Witness the Wonder, David shares what happened when a quiet nudge from God led him days into the jungle to a remote village, an extraordinary encounter with a Rohingya Muslim team at a river crossing, and what happened after years of prayer for the people serving within the Burmese government. You'll also hear the story behind the Jungle Discipleship School, where David and his team disciple young people from across Burma, teach them about Jesus, and prepare them to take the gospel back to their own communities. David opens up about the personal cost of serving in a war zone, losing nearly 20 people he loved, and the unexpected way God provided exactly what he needed before one of the most difficult seasons of his life. Through danger, miracles, grief, answered prayer and moments when fear told him to stay, David has learned what it means to trust a living God when he can't see what comes next. As David says: “Everyone has their own jungle.” Your jungle may look nothing like Burma. But what happens when fear says stay and God says go? This conversation is about faith over fear, hearing God's voice, following the Holy Spirit's nudges, Christian missions, answered prayer, sharing the gospel, trusting God through traumatic experiences, and having the courage to obey God when you don't know what's on the other side of your yes. ABOUT DAVID SMALL David Small is the author of the bestselling book Nameless Faceless People: Ten Years With The Free Burma Rangers and the founder and director of the Jungle Discipleship School in the jungle war zone of Burma (Myanmar). Originally from Canada, David spent more than a decade working as a professional ice hockey coach before entering full-time missions. He has now spent twelve years serving the people of Burma. David is also the author of The Wandering Leader and The Wandering Beloved. LEARN MORE + SUPPORT JUNGLE DISCIPLESHIP SCHOOL David shares in this episode that one of his biggest prayer needs is financial provision for the Jungle Discipleship School as they prepare to disciple another class of students.

| What Do You Do When You Can't Fix the Situation? | Mick Wienholt's God Story | 28 Jul 2026 | 00:38:07 | |
Last week, Mick Wienholt shared the miraculous story of surviving an avalanche that should have taken his life. But that miracle was only the beginning. Years later, another unexpected tragedy would bring Mick to his knees and cause him to reach out to the last person he ever expected. That moment would forever change the direction of his life. In Part 2 of this powerful Christian testimony, you'll discover how God meets us in our deepest pain, why surrender isn't giving up, and how His relentless love continues pursuing us even when we run the other way. It's a story of faith, hope, and finding Jesus Christ when life feels impossible. Mick also shares practical wisdom on breaking unhealthy family patterns, raising children to know and experience the love of God, and becoming the kind of parent who reflects the Father's heart. If you've ever questioned God's goodness, wrestled with grief or loss, or wondered whether He is still at work in your life, I pray this conversation encourages you to recognize His hand in your own story. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎙️ Connect with Mick Wienholt 🌐 https://coincidenceorgod.com 🎙️ Podcast: Coincidence or God 📺 YouTube: @CoincidenceOrGod ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎙️ Connect with Christina Smith 🌐 https://ChristinaSmithOfficial.com 📩 Have a God story to share?

| Impossible Survival | How One Man Miraculously Walked Away from a Deadly Avalanche | Mick Wienholt's God Story | 21 Jul 2026 | 00:33:18 | |
Mick Wienholt survived an avalanche that should have taken his life. In this episode of Witness the Wonder, he shares the miracle that saved his life, the incredible God story that followed, and how God's protection became even clearer with the gift of hindsight. Have you ever walked away from something thinking, I should have died? Maybe it was a car accident. A medical emergency. Or a split-second decision you'll never forget. Some moments stay with us because deep down we know we shouldn't be here. In this powerful Christian testimony, Mick shares how surviving a deadly avalanche became the beginning of a much bigger story. It's a story of God's protection, God's faithfulness, and the realization that sometimes we don't fully understand what God is doing until we look back. If you've ever wondered how God was working through one of the hardest seasons of your life, I pray this conversation encourages you to recognize His fingerprints in your own story. 🎙️ Connect with Mick Wienholt 🌐 https://coincidenceorgod.com 🎙️ Podcast: Coincidence or God 📺 YouTube: @CoincidenceOrGod 🎙️ Connect with Christina Smith 🌐 https://ChristinaSmithOfficial.com 📩 Have a God story to share? 🙏 Need prayer? ❤️ Support the mission of Witness the Wonder 📲 Follow Witness the Wonder @witnessthewonder on all social media platforms. 🌐 https://ChristinaSmithOfficial.com Remember: God is always at work in your story. | |||

| How God Prepares You for the Battles You Never See Coming | Barry Loudermilk's God Story | 07 Jul 2026 | 00:44:14 | |
What happens when a sitting U.S. Congressman survives not one but multiple life threatening events in the same year? In this episode of Witness the Wonder, Congressman Barry Loudermilk shares his extraordinary personal testimony of faith, survival, and God's protection. He recounts being targeted in the 2017 Congressional Baseball Shooting, where 22 bullets were fired and none hit him, a near fatal rollover crash that nearly claimed his wife's life, a professional assassination attempt in the North Georgia mountains traced to a cryptic FBI clue, a train collision involving members of Congress, and a season of intense political persecution that required private security and an undisclosed location. More than a survival story, this is a powerful God story about faith, miracles, and how God uses decades of smaller trials, a charging bear in Alaska, a rockslide, and a father's injury, to prepare you for the battles you can't yet see. Congressman Loudermilk walks through how faith, Scripture, and the supernatural peace of God carried him when human strength couldn't. He also opens up about PTSD, the emotional weight of political attacks on his reputation, and why he believes suffering is never random when you're walking with God. Key topics: Near death experiences, faith, miracles, God stories, miracle stories, the 2017 Congressional Baseball Shooting, surviving an assassination attempt, God's protection, supernatural protection, answered prayer, signs and wonders, overcoming political persecution, PTSD, and Christian encouragement for hard seasons. 📚 Get Congressman Barry Loudermilk's Best Selling Book And Then They Prayed As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases at no additional cost to you. 🌐 Learn More About Congressman Barry Loudermilk Personal Website http://www.barryloudermilk.com Book Website http://www.andthentheyprayed.com 📱 Follow Congressman Barry Loudermilk https://www.facebook.com/StandwithBarry https://www.instagram.com/barry_loudermilk/ X Truth Social https://truthsocial.com/@BarryLoudermilk https://www.linkedin.com/in/barry-loudermilk-8b246425 🙏 Need Prayer?

| After 1 Year of God Stories and Supernatural Miracles: Here's What Surprised Me Most | 27 Jun 2026 | 00:12:13 | |
After one year of hearing Christian testimonies, miracle stories, answered prayers, and incredible God stories, I thought the miracles would be what changed me most. I was wrong. In this special one-year anniversary episode of Witness the Wonder, I reflect on what God has taught me after a year of sitting with people whose lives have been transformed by His faithfulness. From miraculous healings and supernatural provision to powerful stories of redemption, every guest has shared incredible evidence that God is always at work in our stories. But somewhere along the way, I realized something unexpected. The miracle wasn't the destination. It was the doorway. The doorway into getting to know another person. In this episode, I share: • Why the miracles weren't what surprised me most • What the woman at the well teaches us about identity, grace, and storytelling • Why every person is carrying a story worth hearing • How asking one more question can completely change the way we see people • What God has been teaching me through the first year of Witness the Wonder Whether you're searching for a Christian podcast, encouraging faith stories, powerful Christian testimonies, or reminders of God's faithfulness, I pray this conversation encourages you to slow down, see people the way Jesus did, and remember that God is always at work in your story.

| When You Think You're Too Far Gone | Kristin Kurtz's Addiction God Story Proves Otherwise | 19 Jun 2026 | 00:29:40 | |
She hated God, drank, did drugs, and smoked two packs a day — and believed she was too far gone for God to ever want her. Then one Sunday changed everything. Kristin Kurtz didn't grow up in church. She grew up in chaos — constant moves, trauma, and a deep belief that if God existed, He wouldn't want anything to do with her. By her teens she was numbing the pain with alcohol, drugs, and cigarettes, living what she calls a "Russian roulette life." She got a DWI at 20 and half-joked she'd burn a church down just by walking in. But when her sister invited her to church in November 2002, something happened she never expected. Within one or two services she gave her heart to Christ — and then every addiction, every craving for alcohol, drugs, and cigarettes just fell off. No withdrawals. No rehab. Just God. That supernatural deliverance was only the beginning of a life marked by miracle after miracle — including children doctors told her she couldn't have, and a house God so clearly prepared just for her family. Today Kristin hosts the Hope Unlocked podcast and runs New Wings Coaching, where she serves as a "wonder activator" — helping women discover the everyday miracles God is already doing around them. If you've ever thought you were too far gone for God to reach, this episode is for you. ✨ In this episode: Growing up in chaos and hating God Her descent into addiction and the "Russian roulette" years The miraculous, instant deliverance — no withdrawals, no rehab Her miscarriage and the miracle children that followed Recognizing God's fingerprints in the small details The house miracle: 25 years of prayers answered all at once How Kristin became a "wonder activator" with a mandate to help 10,000 women take flight and release their voice. 🎙️ Connect with Kristin: Hope Unlocked Podcast on Apple Podcast and Spotify Website: https://newwingscoaching.net New Wings Coaching: https://bookme.name/newwings/hopeunlocked 📩 New to Witness the Wonder?

A powerful God story of redemption, hearing God's voice, and discovering a family revival legacy that had been hidden for generations. Maggie Kavanaugh never planned to move to Tennessee. In fact, she fought the idea.

In this episode of Witness the Wonder, Christina Smith sits down with Maggie Kavanaugh, founder of the Godfident movement, to discuss her journey from brokenness and poor choices to purpose, healing, and a deeper relationship with God.

| From Addiction, Shame, and Self-Destruction to Freedom in Christ | Maggie Kavanaugh's God Story | 28 May 2026 | 00:28:30 | |
Maggie Kavanaugh shares her testimony of addiction, shame, destructive choices, trauma, and the moment Jesus radically transformed her life. Before ministry, before speaking, and before helping others find healing and freedom, Maggie describes herself as a walking testimony of destruction.

In this honest and emotional conversation, Maggie opens up about childhood wounds, destructive choices, drug culture, codependency, and the moment she realized she needed complete surrender to Christ. She also shares how God redeemed the very places she once hid in shame and now uses her story to help others find healing and freedom.

In this episode: • Addiction and destructive choices • Shame, trauma, and identity struggles • Radical surrender to Jesus • Healing and redemption • Freedom in Christ • Discovering purpose after brokenness • How God transforms even the darkest stories Connect with Maggie Kavanaugh: www.movingforwardministriestn.com www.youtube.com/@movingforwardmedia Connect with Christina Smith: If you would like to schedule Christina Smith to speak at your church, conference, women’s event, or if you would like to support the mission of Witness the Wonder, visit:www.christinasmithofficial.com If this episode encouraged you, make sure to follow Witness the Wonder so you never miss a future episode.

| When God Says Wait...My Supernatural Testimony| Christina Smith's Miracle God Story | 14 May 2026 | 00:28:04 | |
In this deeply personal episode of Witness the Wonder, Host Christina Smith shares her own miraculous journey through infertility and the powerful lesson of surrender that became one of the most transformational seasons of her life. After being told by specialists that conceiving was medically impossible, Christina found herself at a crossroads: Would she continue striving, obsessing, and trying to control the outcome…or would she trust God enough to finally lay it all at His feet? This isn’t just a story about infertility. It’s a story about surrender. About learning to trust God in the waiting. And about the first miracle that happens inside of us when we stop trying to carry things God never intended us to carry. In this episode, you’ll hear:
If you’re in a season of waiting or facing a situation that feels impossible, this episode is for you. Just because God hasn’t done it yet…doesn’t mean He won’t.

| From Gang Kidnapping to God Encounter: Macc Fenner's Wild God Story | #supernatural #miracles #faith | 05 May 2026 | 00:35:40 | |
Macc Fenner was kidnapped by a gang, held at gunpoint, and raised his daughter alone — but this supernatural testimony doesn't end where you'd expect. God had a wild plan that changed everything. What happens when a man who survived poverty, abuse, and gang violence finally runs out of road? For Macc Fenner, that's exactly when the miracle started.

When Todd Coconato was a child actor in Hollywood, he thought he was living the dream. He was surrounded by celebrities, parties, and everything the world calls success. But none of that mattered the night he was stabbed nine times, including once in the heart, and bleeding out in his car. In this powerful conversation, Todd shares how, in that moment between life and death, he heard the audible voice of God ask him one question that changed everything. Todd and Christina discuss his early years in Hollywood, the emptiness behind the lifestyle, the night of the attack, the miraculous way doctors said he should not be alive, and the moment he surrendered to God’s call on his life. He also shares how God led him into pastoral ministry, his work as an evangelist and broadcaster, and his heart for a “remnant” of believers who refuse to bow to the culture. If you’ve ever wondered whether your past disqualifies you, felt caught between two lives, or asked if God can really redeem your story, Todd’s testimony will give you hope and remind you that God still speaks, still saves, and still performs miracles.

| Finding the Blessing in Failure | Pastor Duke White Jr. | 11 Feb 2026 | 00:28:30 | |
Host Christina Smith sits down with Pastor Duke White Jr. for an honest conversation about failure and the unexpected way God uses it to transform our lives. Together, they explore how failure is not the end of the story but often the place where faith, surrender, and community become essential. Duke shares personal insights on the pressure of comparison, the temptation to measure success by performance, and the freedom that comes when failure is redefined through the lens of God’s purpose. This conversation also unpacks why community matters in seasons of uncertainty, how rest is not a sign of weakness, and what it looks like to trust God when life feels out of your control. Through personal stories, biblical insight, and thoughtful reflection, Christina and Duke invite listeners to see failure differently, not as disqualification, but as a doorway to deeper faith, resilience, and connection. If you have ever felt stuck, inadequate, or unsure of what God is doing in your life, this episode will remind you that you are not alone and that God is always at work in your story. Follow Witness the Wonder for more honest conversations about faith, resilience, and recognizing God at work in everyday life. | |||
| Redefining Failure | What Failure Really Reveals | Pastor Duke White Jr. | 04 Feb 2026 | 00:28:30 | |
Failure has a way of making us question everything, our calling, our obedience, and whether we heard God correctly in the first place. In this episode of Witness the Wonder, Pastor Duke White Jr. shares his honest journey through seasons that felt like failure, disappointment, and emotional isolation, even while continuing to lead and serve others. Duke opens up about investing years into a vision that didn’t unfold the way he expected, wrestling with fear and identity, and learning what God was actually doing in the space between fear, failure, and faith. Together, we explore why failure often feels like disqualification, how comparison distorts our understanding of calling, and what God reveals when outcomes don’t match expectations. We also talk about why surrender and community matter more than appearances, and how God can still be at work when the story feels unfinished. If you’ve ever wondered whether failure means you missed God, this conversation offers clarity, perspective, and hope. Season 2 Partner Interview Guest Pastor Duke White Jr. is the co-founder of the Goodvue Network and also hosts Real Life with Duke White.

| Altars of Gratitude: Stories of God's Faithfulness with Christina Smith | Miracle Provision Story | 26 Nov 2025 | 00:28:30 | |
In this special Thanksgiving episode of Witness the Wonder, we’re talking about altars of gratitude — the moments where we pause to remember what God has done. In Scripture, God’s people built altars as reminders of His faithfulness. They were altars built to mark the places where He met them, strengthened them, or carried them through. Today, we don’t build stone altars anymore, but we still need reminders of what God has done so we can hold onto hope when life feels uncertain. This is also my first solo episode of Witness the Wonder, and I’m grateful to share it with you. It feels meaningful that this moment is anchored in gratitude and remembering what God has done. ✨ In this episode, you’ll hear: • What altars of gratitude are and why the Israelites built them • How remembering strengthens your faith today • The anonymous check taped to our door during a financial crisis • How God met me personally through a small yellow-and-black bird • How your Thanksgiving table can become a place of remembrance • Why looking back helps you trust God for what’s ahead • Why your story has power to inspire and encourage others If you’re in a season where you need encouragement, hope, or reassurance that God is still working — this episode will help you remember the places He met you before so you can trust Him for what’s ahead. 📖 Scripture References • Joshua 4 — Stones of remembrance • 1 Samuel 7:12 — “Ebenezer: thus far the Lord has helped us” • Genesis 28 — Jacob’s encounter at Bethel • Isaiah 38 — Hezekiah’s prayer and God’s response • Psalm 77:11 — “I will remember the deeds of the Lord” ❤️ Thanksgiving Blessing As you gather with the people you love, may your home be filled with joy, peace, and reminders of how faithful God has been this year. Happy Thanksgiving, friends — and remember, God is always at work in your story. 🪙 BIRCH GOLD Looking for a way to protect your savings in uncertain times?

| When Grief & Depression Hit Hard — What Helped Me Through It | Heather O’Brien & Christina Smith | 24 Nov 2025 | 00:08:31 | |
Grief shows up in unexpected moments — a memory, a place, even something as simple as a family event… especially during the holidays. In this Wonder Story Highlight, Heather O’Brien, host of the Heal with God Podcast, and I talk honestly about navigating grief, seasonal depression, and what it looks like to feel the emotion, process it, and keep moving forward without staying stuck. For years, I avoided grieving. I stayed busy, took care of others, and pushed my own tears aside. But as loss kept piling up, I realized I couldn’t outrun it anymore — I had to grieve. And in that journey, God met me with a closeness I didn’t even know to expect. In this conversation, we explore: • How grief shows up in everyday moments
