Returning podcast guest Wayne Pederson (listen to our first interview with Wayne) shares an up close experience with how God is still in the healing business. Faced with a 1 in 10 MILLION prognosis, Wayne and his fellow prayer warriors simply believed God for a miracle… and God delivered!

It’s not so easy to sing His praises in those moments.
In this interview, we dive deep into Wayne’s miraculous recovery, the nature of miracles, whether or not miracles occur today (and more importantly why they occur) and advice for those suffering loss when it appears God has let us down.
