This podcast seeks to highlight the numerous ways and scenarios in which God is tangibly and explicitly present in our everyday lives, a chance to explore the extraordinary in the ordinary. During each episode, we hear from a guest of a situation that might often be dismissed as a "coincidence" or not given its due attention. A time the neighbour just happened to drop in at the right moment to help us with a crisis.
