A fishing trip at a place their family had loved for generations became a fight for survival when Ryan and Heather West’s boat sank with all five of their boys aboard.

In the freezing water of Fish Lake, their nine-year-old prayed. Their oldest stayed beside his mom and youngest brother. And strangers were making their way toward the very stretch of road where the family would need help.

All seven survived. Only afterward did Ryan and Heather begin to learn the other side of their rescue.

Brent and Mikaela join them for a heartfelt conversation about prayer, a mother’s determination, the people who stepped in, and the angels they believe helped bring their family home. They also reflect on grief, gratitude, and trusting God when a story doesn’t end the way we hoped.

Content note: Includes pregnancy loss, near-drowning involving children, and discussion of grief.

Sometimes being an angel starts with noticing what someone needs.

In this Angel of the Week episode, Brent and Mikaela help Brent’s brother Tyler surprise two people who have made a lasting difference for his family: Tammy and Jeremy.

As Tyler and Becca faced an uncertain move to Colorado, Tammy and Jeremy offered a home to rent, encouragement to trust God, and kindness that continued long after moving day. From bringing over a kitchen table to surprising their little girls with bath toys, they made this family feel loved in ways they may not have fully realized.

A heartfelt thank-you and a reminder that even the little things we do can become part of someone else’s answered prayer.

“Just give it one more day.”

Wendy McCarthy never forgot those words from her mother. Years after surviving a life-threatening blood clot during pregnancy, she held onto them through a dark season of postpartum depression.

On this Short Story Wednesday, Wendy joins Brent and Mikaela to share the comfort she felt from an unseen presence in her hospital room, the love of a mother who held her while she cried, and why she sees her daughter as an angel in her life.

Now a grandmother, Wendy shares her gratitude for all that came after—and a heartfelt reminder that it’s okay to reach out and ask for help.

Content note: This conversation includes postpartum depression and suicidal thoughts. For support in the U.S., call or text 988, available 24/7, or visit [988 Lifeline](https://988lifeline.org/).

What does a miracle look like when you’re still living with the thing you prayed would change?

At 15, Natalie sustained a spinal cord injury in a skiing accident. During her emergency helicopter transport, she had an experience she describes as entering a place that felt like home—an experience she kept to herself for ten years.

Natalie joins Brent and Mikaela to share what came afterward: the struggle with comparison, the desire to feel “normal,” and the gradual discovery of purpose and joy through her faith in God.

She also shares the everyday angels who helped her along the way, from a mother who never made her feel like a burden to friends who simply sat beside her.

An honest conversation about suffering, belonging, and learning to recognize miracles in unexpected places.

Content note: Includes descriptions of a serious accident and difficulty breathing, discussion of infertility, and brief references to sexual assault and kidnapping.

A birthday cake. Taco leftovers. An extra pan of lasagna. Sometimes the smallest acts of kindness mean more than we could ever know.

This Short Story Wednesday, Brent and Mikaela revisit Adam Trask’s story of delivering cake ingredients to a man who had been praying for a way to celebrate his wife’s birthday. They also share listeners’ experiences of following a prompting—and showing up with exactly what someone needed.

Together, they reflect on an honest question: With so much suffering in the world, does God still care about our individual needs? A conversation about listening to those quiet nudges, caring for each other, and remembering that you are loved.

How do you learn to trust God when you’ve spent so much of your life feeling abandoned?

Adam Trask grew up with homelessness, abuse, and addiction in his family. This week, he joins Brent and Mikaela to share how he began recognizing Christ’s presence in his life... and how that changed the way he cares for others.

From birthday-cake ingredients delivered at just the right time to a prompting that helped put his newborn son near lifesaving medical care, Adam’s stories are heartfelt, sometimes hilarious, and full of reasons to show up.

We also talk about marriage, listening without trying to fix everything, and learning that you don’t have to serve perfectly to help someone feel loved.

Be sure to hear Adam’s wife, Elisha, in our previous episode.

Content note: Includes childhood abuse and neglect, substance use and overdose deaths, suicide and suicide loss, fatal accidents, and an infant medical emergency. U.S. crisis support: call or text 988.

Thanks for joining us for our very first Angel of the Week! 🤍

This episode was recorded live, but we kept the broadcast private as a test run while we worked out all the details. From here on out, we’ll actually be LIVE with all of you—reading your comments, answering questions, and hopefully sharing some really special moments together.

We haven’t decided on an official day or time yet, but we’ll be announcing that very soon!

For now, we hope you enjoy our very first weekly Angel of the Week.

We all have people in our lives who deserve to know how much they mean to us. Sometimes we just need a reminder to tell them.

Do you have an angel in your life you’d like to nominate? Send us their story at **aaupodcast25@gmail.com**. We would love to hear about them and possibly feature them in an upcoming Angel of the Week.

Thank you for being here and helping us celebrate the incredible people God places in our lives.

Will He Know Me?

This week on Short Story Wednesday, Mikaela reads a talk she recently gave at church about what it really means to know Jesus Christ and make Him a part of our homes and our everyday lives.

She shares honestly about infertility, unanswered prayers, imperfect homes, and why following Christ doesn’t mean life will always go the way we hoped. Sometimes the miracle isn’t God removing the trial—sometimes it’s who we become as we walk through it with Him.

No matter how far we’ve wandered, because of Jesus Christ, there is always a road home. 🤍

Go look for those angels. 🤍

Elisha Trask grew up surrounded by homelessness, addiction, and abuse. When she was six years old, she prayed for help during a terrifying encounter with her father—and saw two men dressed in white appear behind him.

That moment taught Elisha that she could call on God.

Years later, urgent spiritual impressions would lead her to pray for her son while he was in danger on a mountain, find her toddler moments before a devastating fall, lock a door just before someone tried to enter, and offer messages of love to strangers carrying private grief.

Elisha also shares how Jesus Christ helped her break the cycle of abuse—not by instantly removing every harmful impulse, but by giving her the opportunity to choose a different response.

This tender conversation is an invitation to listen more closely, pray more intentionally, and act when someone is placed on your heart.

Content note: This episode discusses childhood abuse, suicide, sexual assault, addiction, and death.

For today’s Short Story Wednesday, we’re rewinding to the third and final chapter of our own story—the story that helped inspire Angels Among Us.

Looking back on the miracles that brought our family together still blows us away. We’re grateful for the chance to remember where this journey began, reflect on how far we’ve come, and share it with you once again.

Thank you for being here. We hope you enjoy the final chapter of our story.

Go look for those angels. 🤍

After losing multiple babies, LaRee Baker found herself grieving, afraid, and questioning the identity she had built around motherhood. Then, while praying in her closet, she heard a little girl’s voice say, “Thomas isn’t here yet.”

LaRee shares how that moment led her to Thomas, what happened after doctors said he was blind, and the experience that helped her believe the children she lost were still part of her family’s story. She also opens up about postpartum depression following miscarriage, raising children with special needs, receiving help from a neighbor she now calls her angel, and learning to find her identity in God rather than in what she could accomplish.

This is a tender conversation about loss, healing, motherhood, heavenly and human angels, and the God who holds us in our pain.

Content note: This episode discusses miscarriage, infant and childhood loss, postpartum depression, disability, and difficult pregnancies.

This week’s Short Story Wednesday is a little different. We’re sharing two recent moments from our own lives that have had us thinking a lot about gratitude, purpose, and what might be ahead.

First, we share a little about our recent trip to the Oregon Coast—a place that holds a lot of meaning for Mikaela. Years ago, she went there during one of the hardest seasons of our infertility journey, wondering why the one thing she wanted most still hadn’t happened. Seven years later, we returned to that same beach with our two kids running through the sand.

It was a beautiful reminder that some of the things we have today are the very things we once prayed desperately for.

Then we share some pretty big dreams for the future of Angels Among Us. We don’t just want to grow a podcast—we want to use this platform to become angels for other people. Whether that means helping with groceries or bills, helping a family with adoption or IVF, or simply being there for someone who needs it.

We don’t know exactly where this journey will take us, but we’re putting the dream out there—and we’re grateful you’re along for it.

In a matter of seconds, Hunter Rasmussen’s life changed forever.

While hunting with his cousin, Hunter was accidentally shot in the leg. As he was being carried toward a Life Flight helicopter, unsure of what was going to happen, he asked God, “Is everything going to be okay?”

The answer came clearly: “Hunter, everything’s gonna be okay. It’s gonna work out.”

What followed included emergency surgery, the loss of his leg, an incredibly difficult recovery, and moments that tested Hunter physically, emotionally, and spiritually. But through it all, that simple promise stayed with him.

In this episode, Hunter shares the remarkable circumstances surrounding his rescue, the angels he believes were working on his behalf, and the faith that helped him move forward when his life suddenly looked completely different than he had planned.

Hunter’s story is a powerful reminder that God’s promise that things will work out doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll work out the way we expect—but it does mean He can be with us through all of it.

Go look for those angels. 🤍

Short Story Wednesday… on a Thursday. 😂

This week we're sharing a few life updates, an incredible act of generosity from one of our own “angels,” and a simple challenge that we're bringing into our home: choosing a scripture each week to ponder, memorize, and carry with us.

And this week's scripture couldn't fit Angels Among Us any better:

“Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.” — 2 Kings 6:16

Sometimes we can only see what's right in front of us. But what if we could see everything God has placed around us? What if our eyes were opened, like Elisha's servant, to see that we have never been as alone as we thought?

We hope you'll join us in “ponderizing” a scripture each week—and maybe start with this one.

Go look for those angels. 🤍

Tracey’s life began in circumstances no child should ever have to endure. After entering the foster care system as a baby, he experienced severe childhood trauma and abuse that eventually led to addiction, treatment facilities, suicide attempts, and years of trying to outrun his past.

But God kept placing people in his path who refused to give up on him.

His adoptive parents. A caseworker who fought for him. A judge who saw something worth saving. And eventually Hannah—the woman who would become his wife and help him realize that what he had been through did not have to define who he was.

Today, Tracey is a husband, father, firefighter, and paramedic. And in an incredible full-circle chapter of his story, the former foster child eventually became a foster father himself.

When Hannah and Tracey welcomed Austin into their home, they had no idea how many “Godwinks” would surround his adoption—including an unbelievable connection between Austin’s case and Tracey’s own foster-care story decades earlier.

This is a powerful conversation about trauma, recovery, faith, marriage, foster care, adoption, redemption, and the angels God places in our lives when we need someone willing to fight for us.

And Hannah and Tracey leave us with this beautiful truth:

There is nowhere you can go that Jesus won’t still love you. Your sin can never outrun God’s grace.

Go look for those angels. 🤍

Content note: This episode includes discussion of childhood abuse, sexual abuse, suicide attempts, addiction, and the death of a child.

In this week’s Short Story Wednesday, it’s just Brent and Mikaela, and things get a little bit all over the place. 😂

We’re calling out a few states that apparently need to step up their Angels Among Us listening game, talking about hitting more than 100 episodes, dreaming about some new Angels Among Us merch, and sharing a beautiful story about a little boy who remembered the grandfather who “brought him to earth.”

But underneath all the fun is a reminder we both needed.

Sometimes God’s answers don’t come through huge miracles. Sometimes they come through a phone call, a friend who stays, a spouse who carries us through a hard season, or someone who says exactly what we needed to hear.

And sometimes the difficult things we go through are the very experiences that help us come to know our Savior personally.

Brent shares why he can say with confidence, “I know that my Redeemer lives,” and Mikaela reminds us that when heaven feels quiet, the answer to “Where are You, God?” may be standing right beside us.

We hope this episode reminds you to notice the people God has placed in your path—and to remember the truths you already know.

And as always…

Go look for those angels.

What happens when the miracle isn’t the ending you prayed for?

In this powerful episode of Angels Among Us, Melody shares the story of her son Adam—a little boy whose life was filled with unmistakable moments of faith, miracles, and angels.

Years before Adam became sick, their family survived a terrifying car accident. Just before the crash, six-year-old Adam turned around and grabbed onto the seat—a decision that may have saved his life. When everyone later told him how smart he had been, Adam simply told his mom:

“Mom, I was told to.”

A few years later, at just nine years old, Adam was diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a form of brain cancer. What followed were years of chemotherapy, radiation, surgeries, hospital stays, moments of hope, and devastating news. Through it all, Melody and her family began to recognize the many ways God was preparing them, carrying them, and placing angels in their path.

Perhaps most powerful of all was Adam’s own faith. As his cancer progressed, Melody asked him if he knew what it was like to die. His eyes lit up.

“Yes, Mom. You’re with people that love you. And you don’t have pain.”

Not long after, Adam told her he needed to prepare because he would be “leaving on my mission really soon.”

This episode is about childhood cancer and unimaginable loss—but it is also about something much bigger: a loving Heavenly Father who does not leave us alone in our hardest moments.

Melody’s story is a beautiful reminder that sometimes angels come as family members, neighbors, doctors, church members, or strangers who simply show up when we need them most. And sometimes, those angels may be on the other side of the veil.

We hope Adam’s story strengthens your faith, helps you recognize God’s hand in your own life, and reminds you to cherish the ordinary moments with the people you love.

❤️ If this episode touches you, please share it with someone who may need it today, and subscribe or follow Angels Among Us for more stories of faith, hope, miracles, and the angels God places in our lives.

In this episode, Jason Koger shares his incredible story of survival, faith, and perseverance. After being electrocuted by 7,200 volts of electricity, Jason lost both of his arms and by all odds, shouldn’t have survived. But God had other plans. Jason became the first person in the world to be fitted with two bionic hands, and since then, he’s used his story to inspire others around the world. Featured on national TV, in Super Bowl commercials, and on countless stages, Jason’s joy and sense of humor are as remarkable as his resilience. His testimony is a powerful reminder that with faith in God, gratitude, and a good attitude, we can overcome even the most life-altering challenges.

What happens when life doesn't go the way you prayed it would?

In this powerful episode, Fonzy and Heather Haskell share a lifetime of experiences that taught them to trust God through both miracles and heartbreak. From multiple miscarriages and the devastating loss of their infant son, to adopting three boys from Ukraine, to a near-fatal ranch accident where Fonzie heard the words, *"I'm not ready for you yet, for I have work for you to do,"* their story is a moving testimony that God is present in every season of life.

They open up about the peace that comes through Jesus Christ, the power of prayer, the reality of ministering angels, and the countless ways ordinary people became heaven's hands during their darkest moments.

If you've ever questioned God's timing, wondered where He is in your trials, or needed a reminder that He has a purpose for your life, this conversation will strengthen your faith and leave you with hope.

Have you ever looked back on an inconvenience and realized it may have been one of God's greatest blessings?

In this Short Story Wednesday, Brent is joined by his younger brother, Michael Wyatt, who shares a simple but powerful experience from a family road trip that changed the way they see miracles. When their vehicle suddenly developed brake problems after more than 1,000 miles on the road, frustration quickly turned into gratitude as they recognized all the ways Heavenly Father had protected their family.

What could have been a devastating accident became a testimony that God is involved in the details of our lives—not always by preventing trials, but by guiding us safely through them.

This heartfelt conversation is a reminder that miracles aren't always dramatic. Sometimes they're found in perfect timing, unexpected delays, and the quiet ways God watches over His children.

**In this episode:**

* A family road trip that could have ended very differently
* Finding gratitude in unexpected setbacks
* Teaching children to recognize God's hand
* Why little miracles often become life's biggest miracles
* Learning to see God's protection in everyday life

If you've ever wondered whether God is aware of the small details of your life, this episode is a beautiful reminder to look back—you may discover He's been there all along.

There are moments in life that change us forever. Some bring incredible joy. Others bring unimaginable heartbreak. But what if, through it all, heaven is closer than we realize?

In this powerful episode, Camille and John Lefler share the miraculous experiences that have strengthened their faith through some of life's greatest trials. From narrowly escaping deadly accidents to feeling the unmistakable presence of loved ones beyond the veil, their story is a remarkable reminder that God is aware of us—and that we are never truly alone.

Camille also opens up about the heartbreaking loss of her son, Weston, and later her father, sharing the difficult questions, moments of doubt, and tender spiritual experiences that carried her through overwhelming grief. Her testimony of trusting God, even when the answer to her greatest prayer was "no," is both honest and deeply inspiring.

Whether you're searching for hope, grieving the loss of someone you love, or simply wondering if heaven is still involved in your life, this conversation is a beautiful reminder that angels are among us.

**In this episode:**
• Miraculous protection in life-threatening accidents
• Losing a son and later a father
• Spiritual promptings and messages from heaven
• Finding faith when prayers aren't answered the way we hope
• Learning to trust God's plan through grief
• Why we're never as alone as we think

We hope this episode helps you recognize the angels in your own life and reminds you that God is in the details—even in life's hardest moments.

Sometimes the most meaningful miracles aren’t dramatic—they’re spoken.

While on a family reunion at Bear Lake, Brent and Mikaela tried a simple activity with their kids, nieces, and nephews: everyone took turns sharing something they genuinely loved about each person in the car. What started as a fun conversation quickly became emotional as hearts opened and people heard things about themselves they had never heard before.

In this short episode, Brent and Mikaela talk about why we so often leave kind words unspoken, how hearing sincere encouragement can change the way we see ourselves, and why God often uses ordinary people to remind us that we are loved.

This week, we have one simple challenge for you: tell someone why you love them. You never know how much they may need to hear it.

Go be an angel. Sometimes the message God wants someone to receive is one that He sends through you.

Some stories remind us that even in our deepest grief, God can bring purpose, healing, and hope.

At just 14 years old, Morgan Whisnant lost her father to cancer. Four years later, she lost her mother as well. For years she wrestled with overwhelming grief, anxiety, and the question of how to move forward after losing both of her parents.

Then something unexpected happened.

What started as a simple goal to run a marathon for children experiencing grief turned into a viral movement—complete with a pickle suit, millions of views, thousands of dollars raised, and countless lives impacted. Along the way, Morgan began recognizing tender mercies, feeling closer to her parents than ever before, and discovering that healing often comes as we choose to serve others.

In this heartfelt conversation, Morgan shares what it was like to lose both parents at such a young age, the lessons grief has taught her, the importance of showing up for those who are hurting, and the beautiful ways she believes our loved ones continue to encourage us from beyond this life.

Whether you're grieving the loss of someone you love, searching for hope, or simply looking for a reminder that you are never alone, Morgan's story will leave you encouraged and inspired.

✨ In this episode:
• Losing both parents before adulthood
• Navigating grief, anxiety, and healing
• Finding purpose through serving grieving children
• The marathon—and pickle suit—that went viral
• Recognizing signs from loved ones
• How small acts of kindness can change someone's life
• One truth Morgan knows to be true

We hope Morgan's story reminds you that even after life's greatest losses, joy, purpose, and hope are still possible.

This week we’re recording Short Story Wednesday a little differently—from the road during our family vacation.

As we celebrate Teagon’s third birthday, we take time to reflect on the incredible miracles that brought him into our family. From one unexpected phone call to countless tender mercies along the way, we’re reminded that God is often working in ways we don’t recognize until we look back.

We also share what these experiences have taught us about gratitude, parenting, and becoming the people God is helping us become.

Sometimes the greatest miracles aren’t just the moment everything changes—they’re the everyday moments that follow. We’re grateful to still be living ours.

What if the hardest moments of your life were preparing you for your greatest purpose?

Born and raised in Spain, Miriam Woolsey grew up hearing stories of angels and miracles. As an adult, those stories became deeply personal. From a mysterious voice that protected her on a dark street in Madrid, to powerful spiritual impressions that guided her through life, Miriam has witnessed heaven's hand again and again.

But her greatest tests were still to come.

After experiencing the heartbreaking loss of two babies through stillbirth, Miriam found herself asking God the same question so many of us have asked: **Why?** In the depths of grief, she received answers that changed the course of her life forever.

Soon after, Miriam was diagnosed with lupus and told she would likely spend the rest of her life managing the disease. Refusing to give up hope, she sought the Lord's guidance one step at a time. Through faith, revelation, and life-changing changes, Miriam experienced a remarkable healing that even her doctors couldn't explain.

In this inspiring episode, Miriam shares how angels ministered to her, how God speaks to His children today, and why there is always hope—even in our darkest moments.

Whether you're searching for healing, struggling through loss, or simply wondering if God still speaks, this conversation is a beautiful reminder that heaven is closer than we often realize.

**In this episode:**
• Growing up with stories of angels in Spain
• The voice that protected her from danger
• Losing two babies to stillbirth
• Finding peace through unimaginable grief
• Her unexpected lupus diagnosis
• The remarkable journey to healing
• Learning to hear God's voice
• Why your angels may be closer than you think

We pray Miriam's testimony reminds you that you are never alone, God has not forgotten you, and there is always hope through Jesus Christ.

This week, Brent shares a few personal reflections on parenting, forgiveness, and the reminder that every person we meet may be carrying a burden we cannot see.

Drawing from one of his favorite scriptures, 2 Kings 6:16, he explores the story of Elisha and the unseen heavenly army that surrounded him. It's a powerful reminder that even when life feels overwhelming, God is with us, and there are far more fighting for us than we often realize.

If you've ever felt alone, discouraged, or surrounded by challenges, this episode is for you.

"Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them." — 2 Kings 6:16 (KJV)

From childhood trauma and abuse to becoming a surrogate, surviving life-threatening complications, and discovering the healing power of God's love, Carmella's story is one you won't soon forget.

For years, Carmella believed the lies that she was broken, unworthy, and beyond repair. After enduring abusive relationships, raising children through unimaginable challenges, and walking through heartbreaking loss, she found herself crying out to God from the darkest moments of her life.

**REWIND | Faith Through the Highest Peaks and Lowest Valleys with Evan Pack**

Some conversations deserve to be heard again.

This week on **Short Story Wednesday**, we're revisiting one of our favorite episodes with Evan Pack. Evan's unwavering faith, humility, and trust in God through unimaginable trials continue to inspire us every time we hear his story.

After surviving a devastating fall while climbing in the Grand Tetons, Evan's life changed forever. But just weeks later, he and his family faced an even greater heartbreak with the unexpected loss of their six-month-old son. Through it all, Evan has discovered that God is present in both our greatest victories and our deepest valleys.

We hope this short rewind encourages you to trust the Lord, even when life doesn't make sense.

If this story touches your heart, be sure to share it with a friend.

Melissa thought she was going in for a routine C-section. Instead, a devastating complication caused massive internal bleeding, multiple emergency surgeries, and a fight for her life.

After receiving 23 units of blood and being rushed to another hospital, Melissa found herself in a place unlike anything she'd ever experienced. There, she encountered Jesus, who gave her a message she will never forget:

*"I'm not done writing your story. Just hold on."*

In this deeply moving conversation, Melissa shares what happened during those terrifying hours, the long road to physical and emotional healing, the miracle that followed, and how learning to fully surrender to God transformed every part of her life.

If you've ever wondered where God is in the middle of suffering, struggled to trust Him when life doesn't make sense, or needed hope that He still performs miracles today, this episode is for you.

**In this episode, you'll hear:**
• Melissa's near-death experience during childbirth
• Her unforgettable encounter with Jesus
• The miracle that doctors couldn't explain
• Learning to trust God without having all the answers
• Why every breath is truly a gift

No matter what you're facing today, Melissa's testimony is a powerful reminder that God is still working—even when we can't see the whole story.

In this month's Short Story Wednesday, Brent and Mikaela share two personal stories that remind us how God often works through ordinary people and quiet promptings.

Mikaela reflects on how a simple act of friendship became far more meaningful than she ever realized, while Brent shares a backpacking experience where a single prompting to "hike out" may have protected an entire group from a dangerous wildfire.

Whether through small acts of kindness or moments of divine guidance, these stories are a reminder that God is aware of us—and that we may never fully understand the impact of listening to His promptings.

What started as a simple family adventure turned into a fight for survival.

When Nicole is swept away by a raging flash flood deep in the Missouri wilderness, every second becomes a battle against impossible odds. As her husband, Stephen, desperately searches for her, hope begins to fade—but God has not abandoned either of them.

In this unforgettable conversation, Stephen and Nicole share the terrifying events of that day, the miracles that unfolded along the way, and how one encounter with God forever changed their lives. Their story is a powerful reminder that even when life feels completely out of control, God is still present, still speaking, and still working.

Whether you're facing your own storm or simply need a reminder that you're never alone, this episode will strengthen your faith and leave you with hope.

"Get up and walk." Sometimes those four words are all it takes to change everything.

REWIND: Infertility, Faith, and Angels — The Story That Started Angels Among Us

With so many new listeners joining us, we wanted to go back to where it all began. In this special rewind episode, Brent and Mikaela share their deeply personal journey through 15 years of infertility, heartbreak, faith, unexpected miracles, and the angelic moments that carried them through the waiting.

This is more than the story of how our family was formed—it's the story that inspired the creation of Angels Among Us. Whether you're hearing it for the first time or listening again, we hope it reminds you that God is aware of you, that miracles still happen, and that we are never as alone as we think.

Welcome to our story. Welcome to Angels Among Us. ❤️

Before Brad Wilcox became a beloved teacher, author, and speaker, he was a young missionary struggling with a question he never expected to ask:

"Is there a God?"

In this deeply personal conversation, Brad shares the turning-point experience that transformed his faith and shaped the rest of his life. He opens up about unanswered prayers, spiritual wrestling, and what happened when the answer he desperately wanted didn't come the way he expected.

Together, we discuss angels, the Holy Ghost, grace, suffering, faith, and why God's greatest lessons often come during seasons of waiting. Brad explains how he learned to trust God even when heaven seemed silent and why some of our most powerful spiritual experiences come not from seeing angels, but from continuing to seek when we don't.

Whether you're full of faith or carrying difficult questions of your own, this episode offers hope, perspective, and a powerful reminder that God knows you personally and walks beside you—even when you can't see Him.

If you've ever wondered where God is in the middle of your struggle, this episode is one you won't want to miss.

After the laughter and chaos of last week’s story, Brent and Mikaela take a moment to introduce themselves to some of the new listeners who have recently joined the Angels Among Us family. They share a little of their journey together, from high school sweethearts to navigating years of infertility, adoption, and the experiences that eventually led them to start this podcast.

The heart of this episode centers on a powerful scene from The Chosen that sparked a meaningful discussion about faith, trials, and trusting God when healing doesn’t come the way we hope it will. Sometimes the miracle isn’t being rescued from the struggle—it’s finding the strength to walk through it.

If you’ve ever wondered why certain prayers seem unanswered, questioned God’s timing, or needed a reminder that your story still has purpose, this conversation is for you.

As always, we hope this episode helps you recognize the angels around you and remember that you are never alone.

What happens when the family you've prayed for comes through heartbreak first?

Brett and Kari share a deeply personal journey through infertility, pregnancy loss, grief, and ultimately hope. After losing twin girls and later triplet boys through miscarriage, they found themselves navigating questions no parent ever wants to ask. Yet in the middle of unimaginable loss, God continued to place people, moments, and miracles in their path that reminded them they were never alone.

In this powerful conversation, Brett and Kari open up about the pain of losing five babies, the unexpected ways Heaven brought comfort, and how their faith carried them through some of the darkest moments of their lives. They share stories of answered prayers, remarkable coincidences, the angels who surrounded them during their grief, and the beautiful family they have today.

This episode is a tender reminder that even when life doesn't make sense, God is still present. Even in loss, there can be peace. And even through heartbreak, hope can bloom again.

If you or someone you love has experienced miscarriage, infertility, or the loss of a child, we pray this conversation brings comfort, healing, and the reassurance that you are not walking this road alone.

✨ Five babies in Heaven.
✨ Three children on Earth.
✨ One incredible testimony that God's love never leaves us.

Go look for those angels. ❤️

Sometimes the stories we share are deeply spiritual. Sometimes they are heartbreaking. And sometimes... they remind us that life is meant to be laughed through as well.

In this special Short Story Wednesday episode, Brent and Mikaela finally share a story they've been teasing for months—a camping trip, a strange experience in the middle of the night, and a moment that became an unforgettable family legend.

What starts as a mysterious encounter quickly turns into one of the funniest stories they've ever told on the podcast.

If you've ever needed a reason to smile, this episode is for you. Join Brent and Mikaela for a lighthearted break, plenty of laughter, and a reminder that sometimes the best stories are the ones you never see coming.

We love you all. Thanks for being part of the Angels Among Us family.

Go look for those angels. ✨

What happens when someone who teaches others that they're never alone suddenly finds herself believing the very lie she's spent years helping people overcome?

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Brent and Mikaela sit down with bestselling author, speaker, and mental health advocate Ganel-Lyn Condie. Together they discuss faith, mental health, grief, infertility, purpose, and the angels that often show up in our darkest moments.

Ganel-Lyn shares the story behind one of the hardest days she's faced in recent years—a day when she felt overwhelmed, broken, and isolated. Through a series of unexpected conversations, she was reminded that God often sends help through the people around us, and that some of the greatest miracles happen when we choose not to isolate ourselves.

She also shares an unforgettable experience in Sardine Canyon when a powerless car seemed to be pushed uphill by unseen heavenly helpers, leaving no doubt that angels are real and actively involved in our lives.

Whether you're navigating loss, anxiety, discouragement, loneliness, or simply wondering if God is aware of you, this conversation offers hope, perspective, and a reminder that you are loved more than you know.

In this episode:
• The biggest lie the adversary wants us to believe
• Why isolation can be so dangerous during difficult seasons
• Ganel-Lyn's journey through infertility, chronic illness, and grief
• The story behind her book *Sourdough and the Savior*
• How God often answers prayers through ordinary people
• A miraculous experience that strengthened her testimony of angels
• Why your story matters and who it might help

No matter what you're facing today, we hope this episode reminds you of one simple truth:

You are not alone.

Go look for those angels.

"Who do you say that I am?"

This week on Angels Among Us, we sit down with Amanda Rendon — former Muay Thai fighter, missionary, single mom, and founder helping women reclaim their identity through Christ. Amanda shares her incredible journey from addiction, bulimia, and searching for truth in temples across Thailand… to encountering God in the jungles while serving orphans.

She opens up about hearing God’s voice, stepping out in radical faith, starting over with nothing, and the unforgettable moment when her young son asked for “a father’s hug” — and God answered that prayer in a way neither of them could deny.

This episode is full of powerful testimony, healing, identity, motherhood, surrender, and reminders that God still speaks today.

If you’ve ever wondered:

Does God really hear me?
Can He guide my life personally?
How do I recognize His voice?
Am I too broken to be used by Him?

What if one painful accident was actually part of God’s plan to change someone’s life forever?

While serving as a missionary in Germany, Dalton suffered a devastating foot injury during a soccer game. Doctors were convinced he would need multiple surgeries and might be sent home early from his mission. But after a priesthood blessing and a night of fervent prayer, the next day’s X-rays revealed something no one could explain: his injuries had shifted into exactly the right position to heal naturally.

The physical healing was remarkable, but the greater miracle came when a skeptical radiology technician—who openly declared that he did not believe in God—was deeply moved by what he witnessed and agreed to learn more about Jesus Christ.

Dalton shares how God can use even our most painful experiences for a higher purpose and reminds us that we are never forgotten. As he beautifully testifies through Book of Isaiah 49:16, “I have engraven thee upon the palms of my hands.”

If you have ever wondered whether God sees you, knows you, or can use your trials for good, this episode will strengthen your faith and fill you with hope.

What happens when your honeymoon is followed by years of unimaginable suffering—and your love only grows stronger?

In this deeply moving episode of Angels Among Us, Brent and Mikaela sit down with Alex and Elise Trujillo, a remarkable couple whose marriage has been forged in the fires of chronic illness, unanswered questions, and unwavering faith.

Since childhood, Elise has battled severe health challenges, including hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, chronic pain, seizures, and multiple rare conditions that have left her largely bedridden. Together, Alex and Elise share the heartbreaking reality of navigating countless surgeries, shattered hopes, infertility, and the daily struggle to endure pain that few can imagine.

But this episode is not just about suffering.

It is about discovering what love truly means.

Alex opens up about the moment he realized that “love is service,” and how caring for Elise transformed his understanding of marriage, sacrifice, and the healing power of God. Elise shares how, even in her darkest moments, she has found joy, gratitude, and the strength to keep going through Jesus Christ.

Their story is a powerful witness that while life may break your heart, it can also reveal a deeper purpose, stronger faith, and a kind of love that nothing—not even relentless pain—can destroy.

If you are facing illness, loss, unanswered prayers, or overwhelming hardship, this conversation will remind you that you are not alone. God sends angels through the people He places in our lives, and even in the midst of suffering, hope remains.

This week on Angels Among Us, we’re joined by Jerry Troyer—a Christian counselor, chaplain, and author of Awakening to the Truth.

Jerry shares his powerful journey from early faith… to chasing success on his own terms… to ultimately surrendering his life back to God. After becoming the youngest vice president at his bank, he woke up the next day with a question that changed everything: “Now what?”

Through deeply personal stories and real-life experiences, Jerry walks us through the power of surrender, the process of forgiveness, and the truth about how the Holy Spirit works in every life—believer or not. We also dive into difficult but important questions about judgment, grace, and what it really means to see others the way God sees them.

This conversation is honest, challenging, and filled with perspective that will stay with you long after it ends.

In just seven months, Shawn Ruebush’s life was changed forever.

At 10 years old, he lost his father to violence. Months later, a house fire took his grandfather and everything his family owned. What followed was a childhood marked by chaos, anger, and survival—without ever realizing the weight of the trauma he carried.

For decades, Shawn buried it.

Through sports, work, alcohol, and chasing success, he avoided the pain… until life forced him to face it. From a near-fatal accident to a broken marriage and hitting rock bottom, everything led to a moment that would begin to change his life.

In this episode, Shawn shares how confronting his past, taking responsibility for his pain, and surrendering to faith helped him turn his story into purpose.

This is a powerful conversation about trauma, healing, identity, and what it really means to change.

Two people who swore they were not “cruise people” set sail… and came home with one unforgettable story.

In this week’s Short Story Wednesday, Brent and Mikaela share all the highs, lows, and near-heart-attack moments from their trip to Bermuda. From crowded cruise ships and early bedtimes to meeting a 12-year-old future superstar, this episode is full of laughter, honesty, and reminders that angels show up in the most unexpected places.

They talk about:

Why the cruise itself wasn’t exactly their dream vacation
The incredible young singer they met who may just be the next big thing
Renting scooters and exploring Bermuda
The fish sandwich that changed their lives
The kindness of the Bermudian people
Brent’s terrifying close call with a bus that left them both convinced divine protection was involved

Most of all, this episode is a reminder that God never stops pursuing us—and sometimes His love shows up through strangers, second chances, and being protected when we don’t even realize we need it.

A normal morning turned into every parent’s worst nightmare.

Ashley and Mark share the unimaginable story of their daughter Emory—who woke up one day paralyzed, only to be diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumor. What followed was a fight for her life that included multiple brain surgeries, intense chemotherapy, and 19 days on life support.

At one point, doctors told them to prepare for the end.

But in the middle of fear, doubt, and heartbreak… they chose faith.

From moments that nearly broke them to experiences they can’t explain, this episode is a powerful reminder that even in the darkest places, miracles still happen.

This is a story about resilience, perspective, and trusting God—especially when nothing makes sense.

And it’s one you will never forget.
