What if one single question could expose whether your faith is real — or just words?
In this episode of When You Look, Mick shares the powerful story of how a single verse in the Bible confronted him with a question that exposed his hypocrisy. For years, Mick said “Lord, Lord” but wasn’t fully living in obedience. This moment became a turning point — shifting his faith from words to action, and from self-centeredness to surrender.
Through his testimony, Mick explores:
• Why the Western world struggles with obedience
• The difference between rules without relationship vs. rules with relationship
• How life’s tragedies — including the loss of his son — led him toward deeper faith
• Real-life examples of obeying God in finances, work, and family decisions
• What it means to be subject to God, not central in your own life
This episode will challenge you to ask: Am I living out what I say I believe, or am I a hypocrite?
👉 Scriptures referenced: 1 Samuel 15:22, Luke 6:46, John 16:33, Matthew 7:13–14

What happens when you realize you are subject to, not central in, your own life? In this episode of When You Look, Mick shares the life-changing revelation that completely transformed his faith, prayer life, and perspective on God’s position in his life. Prompted by a sermon by Matt Chandler, Mick explains how God reshaped his understanding of identity, obedience, and surrender.

• How a single sentence from a sermon led to a revelation
• Why “God is my co-pilot” can be deceptive
• The shift from asking God for things to praying “Your will be done”

What happens when someone hands you an envelope of cash and says, "this is for someone in New York City"? For Vangie, it sparked a series of events that led to a miraculous encounter with a pregnant woman on a subway train—who just happened to be asking for exactly $47.
In this episode of When You Look, you'll hear about timing, faith, obedience, and the kind of divine appointments that can only be orchestrated by God. From a missed train that set up perfect timing, to a subway car filled with tears, this story shows how God sees every detail and provides in ways we can’t imagine. Hear how this encounter changed not just Sabrina’s life, but birthed a mission in Vangie’s heart that continues today.

In this episode of When You Look, Mick reflects on Cory’s miraculous survival story—a heart attack that left him without a pulse for 38 minutes before making a full recovery. Mick shares the two biggest lessons he learned through this life-changing event: that what we pray for may not look like what God has in mind and that God’s timing—not ours—always prevails.
This follow-up to Episode 012 dives into the deeper truths about prayer, expectation, and faith when life takes an unexpected turn.
👉 If you’ve ever wrestled with God’s timing, answered prayers, or the question of coincidence vs. God’s hand, this episode will encourage you and strengthen your faith.
