Episode 40: Comforting Signs After Loss of a Son - with Stephen Adams


Hudson and his father Stephen.
It was July 13, 2016 when Stephen's son Hudson passed away from primary amoebic meningoencephalitis, caused by an amoeba known as Naegleria Fowleri. People commonly refer to it as the “brain eating amoeba.”

Hudson contracted this illness while working at a Christian camp. He was a counselor at that time and he spent his last week on Earth telling kids about Jesus. He was a kind, gentle, and funny young man. Moments after he passed away, his father remembers walking out of the Intensive Care area, seeing one of his son's mentors and asking him, “Was Hudson ok with God?”  Stephen's immediate and overwhelming thoughts were:

1.  Is what I’ve claimed to believe all true? Is he just going in the ground now, or does he live on?

2.  If it is true, is he ok? Did he make it?  I can’t take care of him on that side.

Over the past 3 and a half years God has not stopped giving Stephen miraculous reassurances that indeed, life does go on, Jesus is real and that he has Hudson wrapped in his arms.

Highlights in this testimony:
- Jesus is seen at Hudson's bedside in the ICU
- Swing Low Sweet Chariot
-Dietrich Bonhoeffer quote
-Hudson sister is visited
-Beautiful message to other parents who have lost a child
-Visit from a new friend who shares about allowing people to grieve differently
-Note of thanks and appreciation for Frontier Camp
-My favorite possible way to end this video! Stephen shares about his son and we see a tribute video of Hudson that was created by Frontier Camp. Hudson shares a beautiful message that will be forever treasured. I loved seeing Hudson in his element, proclaiming the way of salvation through Jesus Christ.

Take away messages from Stephen:
"As great as these signs and miracles can be, don't get caught up in them, but keep your eyes on Christ."
"Trying to figure out why is never going to bring you comfort. Seek the presence of God. He will show up and comfort you."

Romans 8:28 (NIV)
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

Romans 8:38-39 (NIV)
38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

John 6: 68-69 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.”

Stephen, I am so honored to share this very personal and powerful testimony of God moving in your life during a time of unimaginable loss. Thank you for sharing your heart and a bit of Hudson with us, and for speaking to others that may be suffering. Your faith and your healing are an inspiration!

Episode 39: Radical Redemption Miracle - with Robert Decker


Robert Decker endured more trials in his childhood than most endure in a lifetime. His dysfunctional childhood included periods of neglect, substance abuse, and violence. The years of sadness, pain, anger, and hopelessness culminated in a failed suicide attempt.

At his lowest point, Robert found himself in a hospital bed with multiple serious injuries, and told he would never walk again. He was handcuffed to his hospital bed, accused of a crime he did not commit. It was in this pit of despair that God spoke to Robert in a powerful way. With God's help, everything changed. He was able to turn his story into one of forgiveness, understanding, and love. His desire is to inspire, encourage, and give hope to those who have had similar battles.

Today Robert is happily married and living in Colorado Springs with his two young children. He is a husband, father, health coach, fitness trainer, inspirational speaker, and author. He is passionate about helping others.

My favorite take aways from Robert:
"You are NOT alone. You are LOVED."
"There is purpose and hope for all of our lives."
"In the midst of trials and hurt there is opportunity for growth."
"Allow your heart to be changed. Address the things that hurt so that healing can take place. FORGIVENESS is huge."
"Surround yourself with people that truly care about you."
"DON'T give up!"
"When you receive healing...go out and HELP other people. There is nothing more gratifying than that!"

Thank you, Rob, for sharing this deeply personal testimony. I am blessed to hear your faith (and healing) journey after so much heartache. You are undoubtedly an inspiration to many!

Let the redeemed of the LORD tell their story— those he redeemed from the hand of the foe. - Psalm 107:2 NIV

For you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. - 1 Corinthians 6:20 ESV

Episode 38: An Infant's Life is Saved - with Don Fallick


A 15 month old baby girl is near death after contracting meningitis. Her parents are given the grave prognosis and the physicians ask permission to discontinue life support.

The baby's father, Don Fallick, felt compelled to give her a blessing before discontinuing treatment. Although he felt at a loss for words, he exercised his faith, and when his mouth opened, "In the name of Jesus Christ, I command you to recover and be well!" The presence of the Holy Spirit was so strong that nurses were drawn into the room stating that they felt something shift. What happens next is miraculous!

Don shares the "prefigured" prophetic piece in the choosing of his daughters name 18 months prior to this event and its significance. He also shares more about this very spiritual experience and its blessings in the Children's Hospital Intensive Care Unit.

Mark 5:41 NIV He took her by the hand and said to her, "Talitha koum!" (which means "Little girl, I say to you, get up!")

Tali is healthy and has a family of her own.

(NIV, Life Application Study Bible, 1991)

Hebrews 11:1 NIV. Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

Episode 35: Miraculous Evacuation from Hostile Situation - with Dr. Kaylah Holland

Kaylah's life was forever changed on her first mission trip to Haiti with Bless Back Worldwide in the summer of 2017. She instantly fell in love with the people of Haiti. God planted a passion in Kaylah for empowering educators with the ultimate hope of eliminating poverty. This passion blossomed into a nonprofit organization, Go Teach Be Love, which empowers educators in under-resourced and developing countries in order to foster innovative and sustainable educational environments.

In this episode Kaylah shares her experience in Haiti (Oct 2019) during a hostile time when unrest was escalating, roads were barricaded and violence was erupting. She was faced with attempting to evacuate under life threatening conditions when she received a random, divine text from a friend back home reassuring her that God would not set her feet in a place without a plan (he was completely unaware of what was happening at that moment). Listen as she recalls the miraculous way that God cleared the way for her!

Here are a few highlights:
00:32 How God called Kaylah and the beginning of her accidental journey
18:30 Miraculous provision of generator batteries
25:00 Message is divinely sent to Kaylah to reassure her that God is with her
26:00 Emergency evacuation journey begins

"God has a plan for you! Wherever he sets your feet, rest assured that he will provide and meet your needs." - Dr. Kaylah Holland

"The LORD will guide you continually, giving you water when you are dry and restoring your strength. You will be like a well-watered garden, like an ever-flowing spring." Isaiah 58:11 NLT

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV

Episode 34: A Walk with Jesus - with Jane Harris

Jane shares her most beautiful blessing she has experienced in her life. During her hospitalization for 5 1/2 hours of surgery she literally walked with the Lord. She was blessed to hold his hand and considers it a gift to share whenever possible. She wants you to know that God is real and he is ever present!

In this episode she shares the vivid details of her encounter with the living Jesus Christ, and how it blessed her during her time of struggle with colon cancer. She also shares how the enemy invaded her home after this glorious blessing, and how prayer helped to restore peace. "Its important to let people know what struggles you are experiencing so they can pray for you."

"Jesus is ever present and with us in our struggles. Hold on tightly to him and he will see you through." -Jane Harris

A patient shared with Jane that he saw her as palm tree, strong and capable of enduring the storms of life. "The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon; planted in the house of the Lord, they will flourish in the courts of our God." Psalm 92:12-13 (NIV)
