    I Should Be Dead: The 100+ MPH Crash That Proved God Is Real | Wade Fransson | 081

    At 100+ MPH, Wade Fransson's car went THROUGH a freeway light pole — and the pole was never touched. He should have died at 19. Instead, he walked around that pole, looked at the impossible evidence, and gave his life to the God he'd been running from. This is a real near death experience testimony about a car crash that changed his life. Kidnapped to Sweden by his father at 9, raised inside a rigid church, hooked on drugs and alcohol by 19 — Wade's life was on a collision course. Then one 100+ mph night on an Alaskan highway changed everything: the light pole between his tire tracks that his car passed through untouched. 👤 ABOUT WADE FRANSSON Wade is the author of "The People of the Sign," "The Hardness of the Heart," and "The Rod of Iron" — autobiographical books available on Amazon. He hosts the "Created in the Image of God" podcast and publishes on Substack. Search "Wade Fransson" to find his work. 🙏 ABOUT THE SHOW Coincidence or God? brings you real Christian testimony stories — ordinary people whose near-death experiences, miracle stories, and divine protection moments point to a God who is still alive and changing lives.

    I Survived a Cruise Ship Fire and Typhoon in a Lifeboat | John Graham | 077

    🔥 A cruise ship erupts in flames. A typhoon nearly swallows a lifeboat. And one man screams at God in the middle of it all — then hears an answer that changes everything. John Graham has faced violent death a dozen times, climbed Denali's deadly Wickersham Wall, and reported on wars across three continents. But nothing prepared him for what happened in 1980 when the Holland America cruise ship Prinsendam caught fire in the Gulf of Alaska. In this episode of Coincidence or God? (formerly When You Look), John shares with Mick Wienholt, his incredible near-death experience at sea: the helicopter rescue of his 13-year-old daughter, being left behind in a lifeboat as 30-foot waves and 60-knot winds closed in, and the desperate moment he screamed at God — only to hear a voice that would redirect his entire life. 🎙️ Follow John: @BadAssGranddad on TikTok & Instagram https://www.johngraham.org/ https://www.giraffe.org/ https://www.instagram.com/badassgranddad/ https://www.tiktok.com/@badassgranddad https://www.youtube.com/@badassgranddad Coincidence or God?

    I Was a Sinaloa Cartel Underboss — Then I Met Jesus in Prison | Dr. Hal Bradley | 075

    Dr. Hal Bradley was a blonde-haired, blue-eyed underboss of the Sinaloa drug cartel — running a quarter-ton of cocaine through the Pacific Northwest. Then on October 19, 1994, at 3:30 PM he met Jesus in a prison cell. Dr. Hal Bradley was the primary target of Operation Northern Exposure — a high-ranking cartel underboss who trafficked cocaine across the Pacific Northwest for the most dangerous organization on earth. By age 30, he was staring down men he describes as having "no souls" — faces where darkness replaced the person. Arrested, sentenced, and dying of liver failure in a federal holding cell, Hal dropped to his knees and prayed: "God, if You really, truly exist — I need You, because I can no longer do this." What followed defies medical explanation. A volunteer experimental drug never before tested on humans. A complete recovery. A call to seminary from inside Leavenworth Federal Prison. And 32 years later — a chaplain, pastor, hospice counselor, and man who has walked over 60 people through death itself, because he's been there. In Episode 075, Hal shares the full story — cartel training at 16, staring down a $100,000 contract on his head, kneeling in a prison cell, and standing behind a pulpit. This is the testimony of a man who saw the deepest evil in the souls of men — and then met the light that overcame it. 🔗 CONNECT WITH HAL BRADLEY 🌐 Website: https://drhalbradley.com 🎙️ Crisis Victory Show: https://crisisvictory.com Coincidence or God?

    She Found God in an Amusement Park Parking Lot — Here's What He Told Her | Jennifer Bosma | 074

    What if God is speaking to you in the most ordinary moments — and you're just not listening? Jennifer Bosma spent 23 years as a teacher before God called her into full-time ministry. But the moment that changed everything didn't happen in a church. It happened in an amusement park parking lot, with three little girls in a minivan and two empty spots right at the gate. That's where God showed her what obedience really looks like — and why most Christians miss their "front parking spot" entirely. In this episode of Coincidence or God? (formerly When You Look), host Mick Wienholt sits down with children's book author Jennifer Bosma (also host of "Front Parking Spot" podcast), to talk about hearing God's voice, walking in radical obedience, and learning to recognize God-incidences in everyday life. 🔹 The amusement park parking lot revelation that became a ministry 🔹 Leaving a 23-year teaching career out of obedience 🔹 See miracles all around us 🔹 The "Front Parking Spot" podcast 🔹 Jennifer's children's books Coincidence or God?
