]]> 2301 Bonus Episode - Investigating the Miraculous https://storypartners.org/podcast/bonus-episode-investigating-the-miraculous/ The Story Partners Podcast is an immersive storytelling experience that brings to life true stories of individuals whose lives have been transformed by Jesus.  These Christian testimonies are raw, moving, and powerful – told with authenticity and depth.  With no interview questions, no interruptions, just beautifully crafted, uninterrupted storytelling, each story is a testament to faith, resilience, and the transformative power of Christ. - In this bonus episode, we teamed up with the guys from Wow God Stories podcast to bring you stories about miracles.  Some miracles are hard to believe until the evidence is undeniable.  Today’s stories point to a God who is still in the miracle business. - In this episode you’ll hear how… Colton Dixon’s daughter was born without a pulse, but she miraculously recovered. A blind woman instantly gained perfect sight after her husband prayed for her.   Donna Vanliere was healed from neck pain, and started a prayer ministry. A teen with a paralyzed stomach was instantly healed during prayer and ate normally for the first time.  God “made” Holly read scripture in prison, which led to healing from addiction. A woman dying from multiple sclerosis stood up, walked, and was fully healed after prayer. - If you enjoy today’s episode and want to hear more stories from the Wow God Stories podcast, click on the links below: ⁠Wow God Stories – Spotify⁠ ⁠Wow God Stories – Apple Podcast⁠ - Thanks for listening to the Story Partners Podcast Learn more at: https://storypartners.org/podcast/ Along with this podcast, Story Partners makes short documentary films.
