What happens when a divine prompting wakes you in the night with an urgent message? For Sharon Rivas, this became the prelude to every parent's worst nightmare—and a testament to God's incredible faithfulness even in our darkest hours.

In this profoundly moving episode, Sharon shares the extraordinary story of how God awakened her at 10 PM with an urgent command to pray for her 18-year-old daughter, Bethany. After an hour of anguished prayer, Sharon finally surrendered her daughter's soul to God with one heartfelt request: that someone would be there to hold and pray with Bethany until her final breath. Just hours later, Sharon received the devastating news that Bethany had died in a car accident.

What unfolded next defies mere coincidence. Sharon discovered that at the exact same time she began praying, God had prompted a stranger to sit on her porch. This woman heard the crash, rushed to the scene, and—fulfilling Sharon's specific prayer—held and prayed with Bethany during her final moments. Through this stranger's testimony, Sharon received confirmation that Bethany had made peace with God before passing.

The ripple effects of this story have been staggering. Sharon's book "When You Walk Through the Fire" has touched people in over twenty countries, with testimonies from former atheists who could no longer maintain their disbelief after reading about these divine interventions. Perhaps most beautifully, Bethany's childhood dream of being a missionary "going all over the world telling people about God" is now being fulfilled as her story reaches across continents.

Sharon offers profound wisdom about developing a relationship with God, intimate enough to recognize His voice, found not in grand spiritual experiences but in daily conversations about life's smallest details. Whether you're facing your own fire or wondering if God still speaks today, this episode will renew your faith in divine timing and God's ability to bring purpose even through our deepest pain.

Phil Robertson's journey from beer joint owner to beloved Duck Dynasty patriarch reveals the transformative power of faith in one man's life. In this raw, unfiltered testimony recorded before his passing in May 2024, Phil speaks with characteristic bluntness about his former life centered on "getting high, getting drunk, and getting laid" – a lifestyle that led him to drive away his wife Miss Kay and their young children.

The turning point came through his sister's persistence, convincing a reluctant preacher to drive 75 miles to Phil's bar. Though the initial encounter didn't immediately change Phil, a year later, at his lowest point, he finally listened to the gospel message. What follows is the story of a complete transformation – from self-described "scumbag and heathen" to a man who found what he calls "the rarest of commodities" – genuine peace of mind.

What makes Phil's testimony so powerful is his intellectual honesty. Despite his college education, he admits he never encountered meaningful discussions about faith during his studies. His straightforward approach to discussing mortality challenges listeners to confront life's biggest questions. With characteristic Robertson frankness, he declares: "One thing's for sure - you're not getting out of here alive" without faith, serving as a stark reminder of our human condition. Whether you're a longtime fan of Duck Dynasty or discovering Phil's story for the first time, his journey from darkness to light demonstrates how dramatically a life can change when faith becomes its center.
