    I Died, Saw Angels, & Was Given a Second Chance - Bruce Van Natta

    In this Episode Bruce Van Natta gives his testimony about how in 2006 he was crushed under a Semi truck, teetering on the brink of life and death when he experienced an 'out of body' encounter. God sent two angels to keep Bruce alive despite catastrophic injuries: severed arteries in five places and nearly bisected body. Miraculously, Bruce survived over 2 ½ hours until surgery, defying medical odds. Though his intestines were beyond repair, God intervened again, speaking to a man across the country, Bruce Carlson, who flew in to pray for a creative miracle. This extraordinary story of divine intervention and survival will leave you in awe of God's power!Links Bruce would like you to View:https://sweetbreadministries.comSaved by Angels: https://amzn.to/45s26iGA Miraculous Life: https://amzn.to/45mDKXoTo Learn More About Ken Chinn:Website: https://www.kenchinn.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Encounterswi...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@encounterswit...To Purchase Ken Chinn's Book click one of the following links.Book: https://amzn.to/3BK6AUzAudiobook: https://adbl.co/3R8TIvySupport us on Venmo:https://account.venmo.com/u/Encounter...#MiraculousJourney #SawAngels #NearDeathExperience #DivineEncounter #BackFromTheDead #AngelicVisitation #SurvivalStory #HeavenlyEncounter #LifeAfterDeath #MiracleSurvival #FaithAndMiracles #IncredibleTestimony #GodsIntervention #ResurrectionStory #WitnessingAngels #nde #jesuschrist #christianpodcast #podcast #christiantalk #angels #nde #obe #NDE

    From Deceiver to Israel - Chad Bird

    Welcome back to the Sanctuary! In today's episode, we dive deep into the biblical story of Jacob with our special guest, Chad Bird. Chad discusses his book, 'Limping with God,' which focuses on Jacob's complex relationship with God. We explore why Jacob, a flawed and controversial character, was chosen for this book, and the concept of 'messy discipleship.' From Jacob's deceit and family struggles to his encounters with God and ultimate reconciliation with his brother Esau, this conversation reveals the grace and mercy of God in the lives of flawed individuals. Join us as we uncover timeless lessons from Jacob's life and how they reflect our own spiritual journeys.Links Chad would like you to view:Limping with God: https://amzn.to/3JMieEH @chadbird1517  To Learn More About Ken Chinn:Website: https://www.kenchinn.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Encounterswi...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@encounterswit...To Purchase Ken Chinn's Book click one of the following links.Book: https://amzn.to/3BK6AUzAudiobook: https://adbl.co/3R8TIvySupport us on Venmo:https://account.venmo.com/u/Encounter...00:00 Introduction and Guest Introduction00:55 Why Jacob?01:58 Jacob's Messy Discipleship04:39 The Birth of Jacob and Esau11:31 Jacob's Deception for the Blessing20:33 Jacob's Exile and Encounter with God29:37 Jacob Meets Rachel33:32 Jacob's Wedding Night Surprise33:56 Laban's Deception and Jacob's Struggles36:39 Family Tensions and Baby Competitions38:02 Leah's Legacy and God's Plan42:24 Jacob's Return and Wrestling with God48:26 Reunion with Esau57:21 Joseph's Betrayal and Rise in Egypt58:55 Jacob's Grief and Family Reunion01:04:31 Conclusion and Reflections#ChadBird #LimpingWithGod #JacobBibleStudy #MessyDiscipleship #BiblicalCharacters #GraceOfGod #FaithJourney #GodsMercy #ChristianPodcast #SanctuaryPodcast #BibleDiscussion #ChristianFaith #SpiritualGrowth #GospelTruth #GodUsesTheBroken #ChristianCommunity #FaithAndGrace #BiblicalLessons #EncounterWithGod #christiantestimony #christianpodcast #godsword #christianfaith #podcast #christiantalk #jesustalks #jesuspodcast #faithjourney
