They explore why some people resist calling anything a miracle, how science and faith can coexist, and what the Hebrew word for "miracle" really means.

What started as a carefree summer job in 1970 turned into a life-or-death experience for 19-year-old Eileen Whitaker. While exploring the snowy terrain near Wyoming's Togwotee Lodge, Eileen was unexpectedly electrocuted while trying to lift a snowmobile from a melting snow puddle. Paralyzed by the shock, submerged in freezing water, and left unconscious, she awoke six feet away from the snowmobile — with a spark plug in her hand and no memory of how she got there. Experts from the snowmobile company later told her: she should have died.

This episode is a testimony of faith, divine timing, and the power of forgiveness. Plus, we share a hilarious (and humbling) story from our childhood that reminds us why grace always wins.
