Coincidence or God? | Miracles, Christian Encouragement & Faith-Building Podcast

Dan Nichols was 20 weeks into celebrating a baby boy when the doctor told him and his wife Joy, prepare to lose this baby. Landon was born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome — functionally half a heart. Three open-heart surgeries: at 5 days old, at 6 months, and at 3 years. He flatlined twice. After the first, he spent more than 36 hours on ECMO. In this episode of Coincidence or God? (formerly When You Look), Dan shares the full miracle testimony — what the doctors said when Landon came off ECMO, what happened in the minutes before the second flatline, and what he learned about God's provision when life actually goes through hell. Today Landon is a healthy 10-year-old with only annual checkups. He says he isn't angry at God. And the prayer he prayed in his own words is one you won't forget. Dan Nichols is a church planter, pastor, and leader of the Northeast Collaborative, a network helping launch healthy churches across the Northeast. He hosts the Dents in the Darkness podcast and writes the Making Scripture Simple study guides.

"My doctor said it was like having a grenade go off between my ears." Tim Malm had no scratch, no broken bone — but his brain was bleeding to death. On June 16th, 2010, Tim was steer roping when the rope jerked tight and snapped his head. His brain slammed from one side to the other, causing massive internal bleeding. For two weeks in ICU, "the lights were on but nobody was home." Hundreds of people filled the waiting room praying during emergency brain surgery. Doctors said he would never walk again, never do anything he wanted to do again, and never eat regular food again. Today, Tim is home and getting stronger with the Lord. He can eat regular food again, speaks at rodeo churches, the Denver Stock Show and Cheyenne Frontier Days, runs his coffee company Stronger413 — named for Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" — and wrote a 26-day devotional on Joshua called The Battlefield. This Christian testimony is proof that what the devil meant to destroy, God uses to deliver hope. As Tim says: "I don't believe in coincidence. I call it God-cidences."
