In 2017, Evan Hinson suffered a sudden cardiac event that left doctors, friends, and family facing a very real and sobering possibility - we might lose him. For weeks, the outlook was bleak. And yet, through what can only be described as a miraculous physical recovery, Evan survived and eventually made a full return to health.

But as Evan shares in this powerful conversation, the true miracle didn’t end in the hospital.

In the years that followed, Evan felt called into the medical field - returning to school, earning his nursing degree, and now serving in some of the very emergency rooms, ICUs, and cardiac units where he once lay fighting for his life.

What began as a conversation centered on a dramatic miracle slowly revealed something even deeper. Evan beautifully reflects on how, over time, God shifted his heart - teaching him that the greatest miracle isn’t always found in the extraordinary moments, but in the daily, ordinary pursuit of a relationship with Him.

If we’re always chasing the next mountaintop experience with God, we risk missing the everyday miracle unfolding right in front of us.

This is a story of survival, calling, faith, and learning to find God - not just in the big moments - but in the quiet, faithful ones that shape a life.

What started as a fun family trip to Great Wolf Lodge quickly turned into a terrifying moment when somebody got stuck on a giant waterslide… and fear took over. Tears. Panic. Trauma. And a vow to never ride that slide again.

But the story didn’t end there.

In this episode, we talk about what it looks like to face fear for a second time - not because the situation changed, but because love, encouragement, truth, and community did. From screams of panic to declarations of “I can do this!”, this conversation explores how courage is often built when we’re surrounded by the right voices, the right people, and the presence of a loving Father.

If you’ve ever been hurt, hesitant to try again, or stuck between fear and faith… this one’s for you.

What do you do when the season starts with loss, uncertainty, and a backup plan you never expected to need?

In 1999, the St. Louis Rams lost their starting quarterback before the season even began. A grocery-store-stockroom-turned-NFL-unknown named Kurt Warner stepped in. Alongside a roster of overlooked players, the Rams weren’t supposed to be anything special. Instead, they became The Greatest Show on Turf.

But the real moment came in the playoffs.

Down by three at halftime, their coach looked at the team and said, “We took their best shot - and they didn’t knock us out. Now go be who we really are.”

That line became the spark.

In this episode, we connect that moment to our own lives = those seasons where it feels like the enemy is winning, the momentum is gone, and hope feels thin. And yet, the truth remains: if you’re in Christ, you are not defeated. You are a beloved son. A redeemed daughter. Chosen. Covered. Still standing.

Sometimes you’re down three at halftime.
That doesn’t mean the story is over.
