Episode 85- Miracles- Oh Whale

Is it possible for a man to survive inside a sea creature for three days? Jonah's story sounds like something out of folklore, but is there more to it than a fish tale?

In this episode of Miracles, we dive deep into the story of Jonah—the prophet who ran from God, got swallowed by a great fish, and lived to tell the tale. We’ll explore historical cases of people surviving inside whales, discuss whether Jonah’s experience could be real, and unpack what this story teaches us about repentance, prayer, and second chances.

Episode 84- Miracles- The Day The Sun Stood Still

Was there really a day when the sun stood still in the sky?

In this premiere episode of Miracles, we explore one of the boldest claims in the Bible—Joshua’s long day—when God paused the sun so Israel could win a battle. But the story doesn’t stop there. We dive into global traditions from China, Egypt, Mexico, and beyond that speak of a prolonged day or night in ancient times.

We’ll also unpack modern scientific theories, controversial NASA claims, and astronomical puzzles that some say point to a missing day in human history.
