What would you do if you saw a 12-foot shadow figure walking out of your sons' bedroom? And what if the person who told you to confront it in Jesus' name was a witch? In this episode of Witness the Wonder, Christina Smith sits down with broadcaster, author, and storyteller James F. Williams Jr. to explore his extraordinary journey through spiritual warfare, frightening paranormal encounters, and discovering his authority in Jesus Christ. At just 18 years old, James found himself in a desperate place. He shares an encounter with God that he believes redirected his life and set him on a journey he never anticipated. Years later, as frightening experiences began unfolding in his home, James searched for answers. Surprisingly, some of the people who pointed him toward Scripture and the authority of Jesus came from the very world of the paranormal. James shares what happened when he began praying through the Psalms, the terrifying encounter with a towering shadow figure, and the unexpected phone call that challenged him to stand on what he believed. But this conversation goes beyond spiritual warfare. It's about growing in intimacy with God, recognizing His presence, and discovering why Jesus, not darkness, deserves our attention. IN THIS CONVERSATION: - A desperate encounter with God at 18 years old - The frightening paranormal experiences that challenged James's understanding of faith - An unexpected introduction to the power of praying Scripture - The 12-foot shadow figure that appeared in his home - Discovering the authority of Jesus' name over darkness - Why James shifted his focus from paranormal storytelling to pointing people toward Jesus CONNECT WITH JAMES F.

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.

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?

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.

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 👉 https://amzn.to/4eR9Tvs 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 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/StandwithBarry Instagram https://www.instagram.com/barry_loudermilk/ X https://x.com/RepLoudermilk Truth Social https://truthsocial.com/@BarryLoudermilk LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/barry-loudermilk-8b246425 🙏 Need Prayer?

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.

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?
