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.

Our son Luke died one week before his due date—and in that hospital hallway, everything changed. In the deepest moment of grief, on my knees and completely broken, I cried out to God… and met Jesus for the first time.

This is the raw, unfiltered story of how the death of our baby led to salvation, healing, and a restored life in Christ. From rebellion and self-reliance to surrender and redemption, you’ll hear how God used unimaginable loss to draw us into relationship with Him—and how He later redeemed that pain with new life, living children, and lasting hope.

I share how grief became the doorway to faith, how God met us in our darkest night, and how His grace continues to rewrite our family story. If you’ve ever asked “Where is God in my pain?” or “How could God allow this?”—this testimony is for you.

This episode is about:

• Losing a child and finding Christ

• Grief, surrender, and spiritual awakening

• God’s redemption after tragedy

• The power of crying out to God in desperation

• How death can lead to eternal life

• From heartbreak to restoration

If you’re walking through loss, questioning God, or searching for meaning in your suffering—there is hope. God is near to the brokenhearted.

👉 All glory be to God!

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.

What happens when your body is shutting down… but you can’t feel a thing?

Mark Wilson was an avid marathon runner — healthy, active, and the last person you’d expect to face sudden heart failure. But when his Apple Watch kept flashing 225 BPM, he brushed it off as a glitch. Days later, doctors told him the unthinkable: his heart was failing and it could stop any moment.

In this powerful episode of When You Look, Mark shares his journey from “just tired” to a life-saving heart transplant, the moment he was placed on ECMO, and the peace he felt that made no sense apart from God. His story includes:

✔ The hidden heart disease that silently destroyed his heart

✔ Why elite-level running unknowingly kept him alive

✔ Being awake while on ECMO — and walking the hospital halls

✔ The helicopter arrival of a donor heart… and an unbelievable connection

✔ How prayer, faith, and supernatural peace carried him through

✔ How life, purpose, and family changed after receiving a new heart

If you need a reminder that God still works miracles — or that He’s present even when you can’t feel Him — Mark’s testimony will move you deeply.

When songwriter Dennis Welch sat down for dinner in a noisy Mexican restaurant in Nashville, he had no idea his entire life was about to change. But when a friend asked him, “What are you working on?” and followed it with “Sing it to me—right now,” Dennis took a risk that transformed the next chapter of his calling.

In this episode of When You Look, Dennis shares how singing one unfinished song at a dinner table became a defining God moment that led to a renewed music career, national airplay, Grammy ballot recognition, and a flood of divine appointments that reshaped his life.

His 18-year writing drought ended with God answering his prayer—and what happened next will challenge, inspire, and encourage anyone who has ever wondered if their calling has passed them by.

Does God still open doors?

Is my gift still worth pursuing?
