In this episode, our guest Stefano Vitali joins us from Rimini, Italy to tell the story that unfolded when he was diagnosed with stage IV cancer in 2006.

In this episode, Bernadette shares how her failed engagement led her to the Sacraments and ultimately to meeting the love of her life. After almost 5 years of stubbornly trying to make an unhealthy realtionship work, she finally hands back her engagement ring and pledges to live a life that aligns with her highest values and commitments. The way that God immediately steps into this open door and makes the desires of her heart come true is nothing short of miraculous.

In this episode, our guest Amanda Radomski shares her story of a motorcycle accident in the depths of the remote Malaysian jungle while on a FOCUS mission trip. Stranded and suffering from serious injuries to her hip, she grapples with pride and ultimately learns the necessity of leaning on God and accepting support from others. The jaw-dropping end to her story will leave you convinced that Biblical miracles didn't just occur 2,000 years ago but are still happening to ordinary people every day. Amanda also tells us about a miraculous healing during a SCAVI tour in Rome, and her mini miracle isn't so mini!
