    Heartbreak, Long Waiting, & Restoration | Cathy Garland | 047

    From devastating heartbreak and deep loss… to long waiting… and finally to powerful restoration—this is a story only God could write. In this unforgettable episode of When You Look, Mick sits down with Cathy Colver Garland, a woman whose life journey includes divorce, betrayal, miscarriage, years of waiting, and ultimately the redemptive faithfulness of God. Cathy opens up about discovering her husband’s addiction on their honeymoon, losing a child, waiting over a decade for God’s promise, and how God met her in the deepest places of pain with supernatural comfort, vision, and hope. This is not a polished highlight reel. It’s the real road—through suffering, disappointment, unanswered prayers, and the moments where God seemed silent… until He wasn’t. If you’ve ever wondered: • Is God still working when nothing is changing? • What do you do when waiting hurts? • Can God truly restore what was broken? …this conversation is for you. Cathy’s testimony will strengthen your faith, stir your hope, and remind you that delay is not denial—and restoration is never out of God’s reach. 👉 Watch to the end for one of the most powerful reflections on waiting, healing, and trusting God’s character you’ll hear. 👉 Check out Cathy's Books: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Cathy-Garland/author/B0DB3F75JW?ref=ap_rdr&shoppingPortalEnabled=true&ccs_id=2c921d89-70f2-4c03-9e41-0f868f910a26 Indiana Jones Clip https://youtu.be/sBBbq2g7yf8?si=ee0d314D0HuWz3vI When You Look Links YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@WhenYouLookShow Be a Guest https://www.whenyoulook.com/beaguest Website https://www.whenyoulook.com/ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/whenyoulookshow/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/whenyoulookshow/ Chapters 0:30 - Meet Cathy Garland 2:36 - Backstory 5:52 - First Marriage 7:50 - Life After Divorce 11:02 - Healing From Miscarriage 13:59 - Trying to Make it Work 17:00 - The In Between 24:14 - Meeting Her Now Husband 29:21 - Turning In 35:35 - Defining Grace 40:49 - Josiah Defined in a Vision 46:52 - Waiting With Expectancy 50:45 - Coincidence or God? 52:41 - How Has Your Life Changed?

    23 Americans Stranded in Africa During a Coup | Michael Thaler | 046

    What happens when 23 Americans are stranded in Africa during a military coup—with borders closed, airports shut down, and no clear way home? In this powerful true story, Michael Thaler shares how a 10-day mission trip to Niger, Africa unexpectedly turned into a 17-day extended stay when a coup transpired the night before they were to leave. With teenagers on the team, no flights, and every door seemingly closed, hope was fading. But when Michael chose to give God his very best and refuse to give up, everything changed. From being turned away by nearly 50 soldiers at the airport… to one unexpected “yes” that opened the impossible… this is a story of faith under pressure, divine timing, and God making a way when there was no way. If you’ve ever wondered: • Does God really intervene in crisis? • What does faith look like when there's no clear way forward? • How far does obedience really go? This episode will encourage you, challenge you, and remind you that the unknown is where God often does His greatest work. 👉 Watch now and discover what can happen when you stay in the game and give God your best. #whenyoulookpodcast #missiontrip #coup #niger #africa #miracle ✅ Learn about My Purpose Plan, and how it’s helping others discover and live out their purpose.

    God Gave Her Direction — She Ignored Him | Stephanie Jordan | 046

    What happens when God gives clear direction… and you ignore it? In this raw and unfiltered episode of When You Look, Stephanie Jordan shares her extraordinary testimony of hearing God’s voice, choosing a different path, and walking through years of chaos, abuse, addiction, marriage, widowhood, and ultimately deep healing. From ignoring God’s warning before marriage, to raising five children, to experiencing prophetic moments that stunned even her closest friends, Stephanie opens up about the cost of disobedience—and the relentless mercy of God who redeems anyway. This episode challenges shallow Christian clichés and confronts toxic positivity head-on. Stephanie explains why confusion doesn’t mean God isn’t present, how obedience doesn’t always feel safe, and why God often speaks in ways that directly oppose our flesh. If you’ve ever wondered: How do you know when God is speaking? What happens when you don’t listen? Can God still redeem the choices you regret? Is confusion part of faith—or failure? This conversation is for you. 👉 This is not a polished testimony. 👉 This is not a painless faith journey. 👉 This is a story of warning, consequence, grace, and restoration. Watch until the end for one of the most honest explanations of hearing God’s voice and healing from trauma you’ll hear anywhere.

    I Told God I Didn’t Want to Get Nailed | Brad Church | 045

    What happens when you say something to God… and He answers literally? After losing his business, his marriage, his finances, and nearly his faith, Brad found himself angry, broken, and unsure if God was still listening. Years removed from church, he made a simple but honest prayer before walking into a new congregation: “God, I want to worship You… I just don’t want to get nailed.” Moments later, an offering basket was passed—and inside were six-inch nails. In this powerful episode of When You Look, Brad shares his journey through bankruptcy, divorce, custody battles, anger toward God, and the quiet whisper that sustained him through it all: “I love you.” What followed was not coincidence, but a turning point that reshaped his faith, restored his life, and taught him the power of surrender. 👉 This is a story for anyone who’s questioned God in pain, wrestled with disappointment, or wondered if God still speaks in the middle of our mess.

    He Spoke a Curse at 13—It Almost Destroyed His Life | Pat Reilly | 042

    He spoke a curse over his own life at just 13 years old—and for decades, it came true. In this powerful episode of When You Look, Mick sits down with Pat Reilly to unpack a raw, redemptive story of addiction, relapse, spoken words, spiritual bondage, and the relentless mercy of God. What began as a declaration of rebellion turned into 13 years of hardcore crack cocaine addiction, broken relationships, loss, and despair. But this is not a story about failure—it’s a story about the power of words, the authority of Jesus, and the freedom that comes through repentance, prayer, and deliverance. Pat shares how: • A single statement spoken in pain became a self-fulfilling curse • Salvation without discipleship left doors open to addiction • Spiritual strongholds took hold—even after giving his life to Christ • Deliverance prayer and renouncing the enemy broke decades of bondage • God restored his family, purpose, leadership, and peace • Faith now anchors him—even while facing stage-four kidney failure This conversation is a sobering reminder that words carry spiritual weight, but it’s also proof that no curse is stronger than the cross of Jesus Christ. If you’ve ever wondered: • Do my words really matter? • Can Christians struggle with addiction or spiritual strongholds? • What does real deliverance look like in everyday life? • Can God redeem decades of wasted years? —this episode is for you. 👉 Watch until the end to hear how Pat now lives in total surrender, peace, and purpose—and why he believes only what’s done for Christ truly lasts.

    From Attorney to Bedridden to Widowed…Yet Still Singing | Lara Silverman, J.D. | 041

    What do you do when your entire world collapses — not once, but again and again? In this powerful episode of When You Look, Lara Silverman, J.D. shares the stunning true story behind her eight-year battle with a mysterious neurological illness, the loss of her dream legal career, the miracle love story God wrote in the midst of her suffering, and the heartbreaking death of her husband Matt. Lara was a Stanford-trained attorney on her way to becoming a federal prosecutor when her body suddenly went haywire. Overnight, she went from courtroom-ready to completely bedridden — unable to sit up, walk, or care for herself. For years, she lived on a bedpan, in constant pain, while her world spun 24/7. Then God brought a man into her room — literally — and wrote a love story no one could script. A biochemical engineer, youth pastor, and cancer patient himself, Matt became her joy in the fire. They married, ministered together, and trusted God together… until Matt went home to Jesus one year later. In this emotional, raw, and faith-anchoring conversation, Lara reveals: • How she wrestled honestly with anger and bitterness toward God • The theology of suffering that transformed her faith • What “acceptance” really looks like when God doesn’t heal • The morning-after miracle verse God gave her the day Matt died • Why she still believes God is good — even without answers • How her story inspired her memoir Singing Through Fire 👉 If you’re walking through grief, chronic illness, unanswered prayers, or a season that makes no sense… this episode will meet you right where you are.
