Susie Larson: "Why Is Your Son Still Alive?" | Unfolding Short Stories
"Why Is Your Son Still Alive?"  Susie Larson knows what it feels like to walk through a season where God seems distant and every day feels fragile. Between high-risk pregnancies, neurological symptoms, and two children fighting for breath, she cried out for God to speak and heard nothing. But then a nurse asked a question that revealed a miracle Susie never expected. This powerful story invites you to rest, be still, and remember that God is rarely absent, even when He seems quiet.Â

Joni Eareckson Tada: From Despair to Hope- Finding God's Purpose in Suffering: Page 260
Faith Podcasts are made possible by your support. You can click here to give. At seventeen years old, a diving accident changed Joni Eareckson Tada's life forever. Paralyzed from the shoulders down, she sank into anger and depression, convinced her life was over. But in the midst of deep suffering and thoughts of suicide, Joni began to experience God in a way she never had before. What started as heartbreak became a story of transformation, from despair to hope, and from questioning God to trusting Him. Through her journey, Joni discovered that the places of our deepest pain can become the very places God uses for His greatest purpose. Today, through her ministry Joni and Friends, she shares that message of hope with millions of people around the world, offering practical help and the love of Jesus to those living with disabilities. Show Notes:  Website: https://joniandfriends.org/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JoniEarecksonTada Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/joniandfriends/ Face of Anguish Drawing: https://joniandfriends.org/jonis-artwork/how-god-redeemed-my-life-in-the-face-of-anguish/Â

LaMorris Crawford: From Victim to Son of God - A Story of Redemption: Page 259
 LaMorris Crawford had every reason to believe his life was destined for despair. Growing up in the projects on the south side of Chicago, his story began with tragedy. His mother was murdered before he turned one; he never knew his father, and he was raised by his grandmother along with eight cousins. Surrounded by poverty, gangs, and hopelessness, LaMorris followed the only path he knew, until everything changed. When he encountered Jesus, his entire identity was transformed, from victim to beloved son of God, created on purpose and for a purpose. That new identity would later anchor him through one of the hardest tests of his life, when the woman he loved came from a family who refused to accept him. Rooted in who he was in Christ, LaMorris chose faith over anger and grace over bitterness. Today, LaMorris and his wife Megan serve as chaplains to the Carolina Panthers and lead Covenant Culture Ministry, helping couples build strong, Christ-centered marriages. Show Notes:  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/lamorris_crawford/?hl=en Covenant Culture website:  https://www.covenantcultureministries.com/ Covenant Culture podcast:  https://www.youtube.com/@CovenantCulturePodcast Support LaMorris and Megan: https://subsplash.com/u/-KBRBBK/give?frequency=once&next_process_date=11/04/2025&amount=25.00&fund_id=e79e07ea-a5f1-425b-8520-2baa38a69ee7 Share your Angel Story: https://www.myfaithpodcasts.com/contact-us/ Â
