  1. UFO Encounters, Spiritual Warfare & Finding Jesus | Jason Ford's Christian Testimony

    Season 3, Episode 66

    Show notes

    What happens when unexplained UFO encounters turn into years of fear, isolation, and spiritual confusion?

    In this episode of Witness the Wonder, Christina Smith welcomes Jason Ford, author of The Divine Intervention UFO: Chronicles for Christ, to share his extraordinary Christian testimony.

    Jason describes an encounter with a mysterious light over the California coast in 2018. What initially felt peaceful and euphoric became the beginning of years of experiences he struggled to understand, including recurring sightings, sleep paralysis, and growing personal turmoil.

    As his life unraveled, Jason battled alcoholism, lost much of what he had built, and eventually found himself living out of his car. But his story didn't end there.

    Jason shares how his search for answers led him to Jesus Christ, what changed when he began pursuing a relationship with God, and why he now believes biblical discernment is essential when evaluating spiritual experiences.

    In this conversation:

    - Jason's first UFO encounter and the mysterious passage of 45 minutes

    - Recurring sightings, sleep paralysis, and unexplained experiences

    - The personal struggles that followed

    - How Jason came to faith in Jesus

    - Spiritual warfare and the importance of testing experiences against Scripture

    - Recognizing God's work even in life's darkest seasons

    A note about this conversation: Jason shares his personal experiences and interpretations. Scripture does not identify UFOs as demonic. Our purpose is to explore his testimony while encouraging biblical discernment and keeping the focus on Jesus Christ.

  2. Paranormal Activity for 6 Years: A Supernatural God Story of Faith and Deliverance

    Season 3, Episode 65

    Show notes

    For six years, Eric Davis and his family experienced terrifying paranormal activity in their historic Spring Hill Plantation home. Strange voices, mysterious figures, unexplained encounters, and frightening experiences left them searching for answers. But why didn't their prayers stop it?

    In this extraordinary Christian deliverance story, Eric shares what happened inside his family's haunted house, the spiritual warfare they faced, and the breakthrough that transformed their understanding of spiritual authority in Jesus Christ.

    What do you do when you've prayed for something to change and it doesn't?

    Eric and his wife, Cindy, spent years seeking God for answers. As the paranormal encounters continued, their journey led them to confront unforgiveness, discover the importance of surrendering to God, and experience freedom through Jesus.

    In this episode of Witness the Wonder, Christina Smith and Eric Davis explore the biblical principles of spiritual warfare, forgiveness, prayer, and deliverance. Their conversation centers on James 4:7 and what it means to submit to God, resist the devil, and walk in the authority believers have through Jesus Christ.

    Beyond the supernatural encounters and haunted plantation mystery, Eric's experience raises a question many Christians face: What is God doing when our prayers seem unanswered?

    Whether you're interested in real paranormal experiences, Christian supernatural stories, spiritual authority, or understanding God's presence during difficult seasons, this conversation invites you to look beyond the circumstances and pursue a deeper relationship with Jesus.

  3. The Secret to Overcoming Darkness | James F. Williams Jr. | Paranormal God Story

    Season 3, Episode 64

    Show notes

    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

    Season 3, Episode 63

    Show notes

    He was willing to kill for the Hells Angels. But what happens when the family you fought for becomes the life you need to escape?

    George “Joby” Walters, a former Hells Angels member and outlaw biker, found himself on the run in Mexico, facing the possibility of 80 years in federal prison.

    For nearly 40 years, one friend had been praying for him. Then a box arrived in Mexico.

    What was inside? And what does it take for someone searching for family, identity, and belonging to discover an entirely different kind of freedom?

    In this episode of Witness the Wonder, Joby shares his extraordinary God story, a Christian testimony of redemption that explores the power of prayer, finding identity in Christ, and the unexpected ways God reaches people who seem too far gone.

    If you've been praying for someone you love, or wondering whether God is still working in a situation that seems impossible, this story is for you.

    Season 3, Episode 62

    Show notes

    Cheri Baugh Woods thought she had married the man of her dreams. Then she discovered he had married another woman AND was engaged to a third, all while still married to her.

    In a matter of weeks, the life Cheri thought she knew began unraveling. But as one secret after another came to light, Cheri began recognizing something else: God was leading her directly to answers she didn't know how to find.

    Through unexpected promptings, incredible timing, and provision when she had almost nothing left, Cheri saw God at work in the middle of a situation that could have completely destroyed her.

    What happens when someone is hiding the truth from you, but God already sees what you can't?

    And this is only one incredible chapter from Cheri's story.

  7. That Impossible Situation Isn’t the End of Your Story: Miracle Stories & Hearing God’s Voice | Stan Lovins II

    Season 3, Episode 60

    Show notes

    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?

  8. When God Says Go But Fear Says Stay | Miracles in Burma with Missionary David Small

    Season 3, Episode 59

    Show notes

    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.

    Show notes

    When Cheri Baugh Woods kept hearing the same words, “You’ll find the answer in the bone marrow,” she had no idea those words would end up saving her life.

    In this episode of the Witness the Wonder , Cheri shares her incredible miracle story of facing two different forms of leukemia, sepsis, two brain surgeries, and a bone marrow transplant, while learning to recognize God’s voice and trust His leading through some of the hardest moments of her life.

    What happened next became a journey of faith, survival, healing, and miracles that Cheri says could only have been God.

    From an incurable leukemia diagnosis to hearing God point her toward the answer hidden in her own bone marrow, Cheri’s story offers hope for anyone facing cancer, a medical crisis, or an impossible situation and wondering where God is in the middle of it.

    If you want to grow in recognizing God’s voice, trusting His leading, and having the faith to follow when He speaks, this conversation is for you.

  10. What Do You Do When You Can't Fix the Situation? | Mick Wienholt's God Story

    Season 3, Episode 57

    Show notes

    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.

    Show notes

    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.

    • The DNA test that brought a second heartbreaking loss

    • Why community became one of God's greatest gifts during his darkest season

  13. How God Prepares You for the Battles You Never See Coming | Barry Loudermilk's God Story

    Season 3, Episode 54

    Show notes

    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.

  15. After 1 Year of God Stories and Supernatural Miracles: Here's What Surprised Me Most

    Season 2, Episode 52

    Show notes

    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.

    Thank you for making the first year of Witness the Wonder so incredibly special. Whether you've listened from Episode 1 or you're joining us for the first time, I'm grateful you're here.

  16. When You Think You're Too Far Gone | Kristin Kurtz's Addiction God Story Proves Otherwise

    Season 2, Episode 51

    Show notes

    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.

  17. Maggie Kavanaugh | Hearing God's Voice, a Prophetic Encounter & a 100-Year Family Revival Legacy

    Season 2, Episode 50

    Show notes

    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. But after a prophetic encounter changed the direction of her life, she found herself walking a path that would eventually uncover a remarkable piece of her family's history.

    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. Maggie shares how a preacher stopped mid-sermon and called her out, how God led her through unexpected life changes, and how she discovered her ancestors were connected to a revival that continued for more than 100 years in Tennessee.

    In this episode you'll hear:

    • A prophetic encounter that changed Maggie's life

    • How hearing God's voice led her to Tennessee

    • A powerful testimony of redemption and restoration

    • The discovery of her family's 100-year revival legacy

    • What it means to become Godfident in your identity and purpose

    • Why God can use even the most broken parts of our story

    If you've ever wondered whether God still speaks today, questioned His direction for your life, or needed hope that your past does not define your future, this conversation will encourage you.

  18. From Addiction, Shame, and Self-Destruction to Freedom in Christ | Maggie Kavanaugh's God Story

    Season 2, Episode 49

    Show notes

    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. What began as a search for love, identity, and acceptance eventually spiraled into addiction, broken relationships, emotional pain, and overwhelming shame.

    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.

    If you have ever felt too broken, too far gone, or disqualified by your past, this episode is a reminder that God’s grace is greater than your worst mistakes.

    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

  19. When God Says Wait...My Supernatural Testimony| Christina Smith's Miracle God Story

    Season 2, Episode 48

    Show notes

    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:

    • ​The devastating doctor’s appointment that shattered Christina’s dream of becoming a mother
    • ​The “two-year-old temper tantrum” she threw on God and what He said back
    • ​The prophetic word from her mother-in-law, Aggie, that ignited her faith
    • ​How what felt like delay was actually God preparing a bigger future than she could see
    • ​The moment she finally held her daughter, Kiersten Grace
    • ​How God used this season to shape the vision that eventually became her business for almost 19 years

    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.

    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.
