S2 Ep42: A Little Light Beats All the Dark -- Ganel-Lyn Condie

What happens when someone who teaches others that they're never alone suddenly finds herself believing the very lie she's spent years helping people overcome? In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Brent and Mikaela sit down with bestselling author, speaker, and mental health advocate Ganel-Lyn Condie. Together they discuss faith, mental health, grief, infertility, purpose, and the angels that often show up in our darkest moments. Ganel-Lyn shares the story behind one of the hardest days she's faced in recent years—a day when she felt overwhelmed, broken, and isolated. Through a series of unexpected conversations, she was reminded that God often sends help through the people around us, and that some of the greatest miracles happen when we choose not to isolate ourselves. She also shares an unforgettable experience in Sardine Canyon when a powerless car seemed to be pushed uphill by unseen heavenly helpers, leaving no doubt that angels are real and actively involved in our lives. Whether you're navigating loss, anxiety, discouragement, loneliness, or simply wondering if God is aware of you, this conversation offers hope, perspective, and a reminder that you are loved more than you know. In this episode: • The biggest lie the adversary wants us to believe • Why isolation can be so dangerous during difficult seasons • Ganel-Lyn's journey through infertility, chronic illness, and grief • The story behind her book *Sourdough and the Savior* • How God often answers prayers through ordinary people • A miraculous experience that strengthened her testimony of angels • Why your story matters and who it might help No matter what you're facing today, we hope this episode reminds you of one simple truth: You are not alone.

S2 Ep40: A Father's Hug: God Shows up in the Impossible -- Amanda Rendon

"Who do you say that I am?" This week on Angels Among Us, we sit down with Amanda Rendon — former Muay Thai fighter, missionary, single mom, and founder helping women reclaim their identity through Christ. Amanda shares her incredible journey from addiction, bulimia, and searching for truth in temples across Thailand… to encountering God in the jungles while serving orphans. She opens up about hearing God’s voice, stepping out in radical faith, starting over with nothing, and the unforgettable moment when her young son asked for “a father’s hug” — and God answered that prayer in a way neither of them could deny. This episode is full of powerful testimony, healing, identity, motherhood, surrender, and reminders that God still speaks today. If you’ve ever wondered: Does God really hear me? Can He guide my life personally? How do I recognize His voice? Am I too broken to be used by Him? …this episode is for you.

S2 Ep39: The Cokeville Miracle: The Bomb Expert -- Jason Haskell

The Truth About the Cokeville Miracle In this powerful episode of Angels Among Us, we sit down with Jason Haskell, son of bomb investigator Rich Haskell, the deputy sheriff who helped investigate the 1986 Cokeville Elementary School hostage crisis.  From cut wires and leaking gasoline to eyewitness accounts of unseen protectors in the classroom, this conversation dives deep into the miracles, mysteries, and faith surrounding one of the most incredible survival stories in modern history. But this episode is about more than just the events in Cokeville. It’s also a tribute to Rich Haskell — a Marine, law enforcement officer, father, and servant leader whose life impacted countless people. Jason also shares heartfelt thoughts on God, agency, parenting, grief, and the belief that those we love continue watching over us even after this life. This is an emotional and faith-filled conversation you will not forget. Have you encountered angels? Please let us know if you or someone you know has a story that needs to be shared.
