What if experiencing a miracle isn’t about formulas, prayers, or luck… but about posture? In Part 4 of Miracles: Then & Now, Andy Stanley challenges a common assumption about miracles: they aren’t random, but they do happen where people position themselves in surrender to God’s purposes. It’s not about manipulating outcomes — it’s about embracing trust even when it costs us something. If you’ve been wrestling with a big decision, wondering where God is, or hoping for something more — this me...

Why some people are healed while others are left waiting. And what it actually means to trust God when the ou...

These remind us that God is powerful, present, and working—even when we don’t see it.
