Deston Rogers never imagined he would experience the heartbreak of losing a child, let alone two, but he did.

After losing his two-year-old son, Cody, in a tragic car accident, a DNA test separated him from another little boy he had been raising as his son. Years later, an unexpected reunion gave them the opportunity to rebuild the father-son relationship they had both missed.

Then tragedy struck again.

In this honest and hope-filled conversation, Deston shares what it was like to grieve the same son twice, how God met him through unimaginable pain, and why he still believes God never leaves us—even when life doesn't make sense.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• How one tragic accident changed Deston's life forever
• The DNA test that brought a second heartbreaking loss
• The unexpected reunion that restored years that had been lost
• What losing Dakota taught him about grief, healing, and faith
• Why community became one of God's greatest gifts during his darkest season
• How God's faithfulness remained constant through every season of loss

Whether you're grieving the loss of a loved one, wrestling with unanswered questions, or searching for hope in the middle of heartbreak, this conversation is a reminder that God is always at work in your story.

After one year of hearing Christian testimonies, miracle stories, answered prayers, and incredible God stories, I thought the miracles would be what changed me most.

I was wrong.

In this special one-year anniversary episode of Witness the Wonder, I reflect on what God has taught me after a year of sitting with people whose lives have been transformed by His faithfulness.

From miraculous healings and supernatural provision to powerful stories of redemption, every guest has shared incredible evidence that God is always at work in our stories.

But somewhere along the way, I realized something unexpected.

The miracle wasn't the destination. It was the doorway.

The doorway into getting to know another person.

In this episode, I share:

• Why the miracles weren't what surprised me most

• What the woman at the well teaches us about identity, grace, and storytelling

• Why every person is carrying a story worth hearing

• How asking one more question can completely change the way we see people

• What God has been teaching me through the first year of Witness the Wonder

Whether you're searching for a Christian podcast, encouraging faith stories, powerful Christian testimonies, or reminders of God's faithfulness, I pray this conversation encourages you to slow down, see people the way Jesus did, and remember that God is always at work in your story.

Thank you for making the first year of Witness the Wonder so incredibly special. Whether you've listened from Episode 1 or you're joining us for the first time, I'm grateful you're here.

Season 3 begins with a special America's 250th episode featuring Congressman Barry Loudermilk as he shares remarkable stories of God's providence throughout America's founding.

She hated God, drank, did drugs, and smoked two packs a day — and believed she was too far gone for God to ever want her. Then one Sunday changed everything.

Kristin Kurtz didn't grow up in church. She grew up in chaos — constant moves, trauma, and a deep belief that if God existed, He wouldn't want anything to do with her. By her teens she was numbing the pain with alcohol, drugs, and cigarettes, living what she calls a "Russian roulette life." She got a DWI at 20 and half-joked she'd burn a church down just by walking in.

But when her sister invited her to church in November 2002, something happened she never expected. Within one or two services she gave her heart to Christ — and then every addiction, every craving for alcohol, drugs, and cigarettes just fell off. No withdrawals. No rehab. Just God.

That supernatural deliverance was only the beginning of a life marked by miracle after miracle — including children doctors told her she couldn't have, and a house God so clearly prepared just for her family.

Today Kristin hosts the Hope Unlocked podcast and runs New Wings Coaching, where she serves as a "wonder activator" — helping women discover the everyday miracles God is already doing around them.

If you've ever thought you were too far gone for God to reach, this episode is for you.

✨ In this episode:

Growing up in chaos and hating God

Her descent into addiction and the "Russian roulette" years

The miraculous, instant deliverance — no withdrawals, no rehab

Her miscarriage and the miracle children that followed

Recognizing God's fingerprints in the small details

The house miracle: 25 years of prayers answered all at once

How Kristin became a "wonder activator" with a mandate to help 10,000 women take flight and release their voice.

A powerful God story of redemption, hearing God's voice, and discovering a family revival legacy that had been hidden for generations.

In this episode of Witness the Wonder, Christina Smith sits down with Maggie Kavanaugh, founder of the Godfident movement, to discuss her journey from brokenness and poor choices to purpose, healing, and a deeper relationship with God. Maggie shares how a preacher stopped mid-sermon and called her out, how God led her through unexpected life changes, and how she discovered her ancestors were connected to a revival that continued for more than 100 years in Tennessee.

In this episode you'll hear:

• A prophetic encounter that changed Maggie's life

• How hearing God's voice led her to Tennessee

• A powerful testimony of redemption and restoration

• The discovery of her family's 100-year revival legacy

She also shares how God redeemed the very places she once hid in shame and now uses her story to help others find healing and freedom.

In this deeply personal episode of Witness the Wonder, Host Christina Smith shares her own miraculous journey through infertility and the powerful lesson of surrender that became one of the most transformational seasons of her life.

After being told by specialists that conceiving was medically impossible, Christina found herself at a crossroads:

Would she continue striving, obsessing, and trying to control the outcome…or would she trust God enough to finally lay it all at His feet?

This isn’t just a story about infertility.

It’s a story about surrender.

About learning to trust God in the waiting. And about the first miracle that happens inside of us when we stop trying to carry things God never intended us to carry.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• ​The devastating doctor’s appointment that shattered Christina’s dream of becoming a mother
• ​The “two-year-old temper tantrum” she threw on God and what He said back
• ​The prophetic word from her mother-in-law, Aggie, that ignited her faith
• ​How what felt like delay was actually God preparing a bigger future than she could see
• ​The moment she finally held her daughter, Kiersten Grace
• ​How God used this season to shape the vision that eventually became her business for almost 19 years

If you’re in a season of waiting or facing a situation that feels impossible, this episode is for you.

Just because God hasn’t done it yet…doesn’t mean He won’t.
