Brad Willey has an incredible Christian miracle story for anyone needing hope today. His story shows how God’s hand was in his life after a crazy near-death experience. Watch the video to hear him share his amazing testimony. 

Brad was trapped in a small room on the side of a mountain when a landslide occurred, and he became trapped underwater. Somehow, beyond his recollection, he came through a roof escape hatch. He says he didn’t even know it was there.  

“It felt like God reached and pulled me out,” Brad explained. He was under the water for three minutes. He could only think about how scared he was of going to hell and begged God to save him.

God Was Not Done Saving Him

For the next six months, he carried a Bible around with him but never opened it. He got into a bad relationship and fell into drugs. After three years, he quit that lifestyle. He got a new job and prayed and asked God to send someone to tell him about him if he really does exist. 

That day, he heard God’s voice. He turned around and told a person next to him, a stranger, and told him, “If you know Jesus, you need to tell me.” The man started bawling because God had been telling him to go to one more town, to tell one more person. And so he shared the gospel with Brad. 

From then on, his life really changed for good. He started to listen to Christian speakers and attend church. Now, he says his reasons for living are to “share Jesus Christ and love my family.”

It is so inspiring to hear stories like Brad’s. He could have died, but God saved him. His journey back to God wasn’t quick or easy, but eventually Brad found out what it’s like to truly know Him. And now, he’s never turning back.

What happens when our prayers become so filtered and "spiritual" that we lose the raw honesty of what we actually desire?

In this episode of the Praying Christian Women podcast, Alana and Jaime take a fun detour from their usual topics and head straight to Broadway! Using the concept of the musical theater "I want" song, they dive into Tevye's famous track "If I Were a Rich Man" from Fiddler on the Roof, revealing how it serves as a surprisingly profound template for authentic, uncensored prayer.

We often feel guilty bringing our "frivolous" desires to God—like wanting a financial cushion, a nicer house, or just to be respected. But by looking at Tevye's conversational honesty with the Lord, Alana and Jaime discuss how peeling back the layers of our superficial wants almost always reveals a pure, God-given desire for security, community, or peace.

To bring it home, Jaime gets remarkably candid about a recent camping trip. She unpacks her own guilt over wanting to look good in a swimsuit, tracing it down to her true "prayer behind the prayer": a beautiful, core desire to remain healthy, strong, and capable of caring for her family for years to come.

Whether you are stressing over your bank account, feeling guilty for caring about your appearance, or simply longing for a more conversational and authentic relationship with the Lord, we hope this conversation encourages you to stop editing your prayers and confidently bring your true self to the Father!
