Do you believe in miracles? If you've been looking for some sign of life out in the world, then this episode is for you. Dr. Craig Thayer is the author of the new book SAVED: One Trauma Surgeon's True Accounts of the Miracles in His Life. Craig Thayer's destiny was mapped before he was even born. Saved is the story of a man who learned to see the sum of his parts and follow them like stepping stones throughout a miraculous life. Being put up for adoption at birth and finding his family at nine months was just the start of his unorthodox journey. Over the years, the adversity kept finding him… Craig battled a reading disorder that went undiagnosed until he was fifty-five years old. Despite that and numerous other challenges, the calling in his heart to become a surgeon grew louder and louder. It didn't quiet when he suffered a twisted intestine, witnessed his adopted mother's alcohol problem, grieved her death when he was just eighteen, healed from a skull fracture in college, agonized over his adopted father's fight for his life, and struggled to find his self-esteem. The miracles that touched his life were his saving grace and shined a light on his purpose. The miracle of his apartment catching fire and the items left intact reflected the undeniable presence of one of his guardian spirits. The miracles on his mission trips to Haiti and Honduras taught him more about Heaven on Earth than anything he had ever experienced. The miracle of finding his natural family snapped a missing puzzle piece into place—fulfilling a lifelong longing. Even the lists of pranks he pulled in college reminded him of the miracles of the bonds of laughter. Craig's intent in sharing his story is to give you hope, inspiration, a sense of belonging, and empathy and show you how similar a surgeon's life is to yours. We are all more alike than we know.

Bonnie Hardy is a mindset, life, and gratitude coach based out of Central Florida. She is also the owner of Rock Solid Coaching. Bonnie was the first person I met on my trip to Podfest in Orlando, Florida. She had recently became homeless, and was sleeping outside of the event on a park bench becuase she recieved tickets from one of the speakers in an online Facebook contest. Bonnie's dream is to empower the less fortunate, and teach the principles of gratitude, morality, and kindness to everyone around her. Bonnie's story is touching, and I sat down with her at Podfest to share her positivity and outlook with the world. Everyone can do something, and every person has value. This is Bonnie's story.

Connor Boyack is the creator of the Tuttle Twins series of books, a children's book series that teaches children positive moral values in fun and character driven stories. The Tuttle Twins books teach children positive moral values like the golden rule, non-aggression, how inflation works and why prices of the items we buy keep increasing, individual rights, justice, and what a free market is. He is also the founder of the Libertas Institute, and has worked to help establish laws in his home state of Utah. We discuss the vast amount of empty uncontested political elections in america, why our government leaders seem wildly unknowledgeable about many issues, and why children are learning agendas in the public school system rather than actionable insight into how to live a prosperous life.

Always Banks is the creator and executive director of the princess program foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit that brings joy to children with terminal illnesses by offering in person and zoom meetings with princesses. Since 2017, Banks and her merry group of volunteers have been delighting children with terminal illnesses across the United States and internationally, all while she is also working on her own personal nursing degree. According to the national cancer institute, each year in the United States, an estimated 1 in 285 children will be diagnosed with Cancer before their 20th birthday. As difficult as this news is to receive for an adult, learning this as a child is not only difficult to understand, but also starts a path of treatment that is draining both emotionally and physically. My guest tonight aims to alleviate those painful events for children by sharing an experience with their favorite princess and superhero characters, and her videos with these children are truly magical. We discuss the heart-wrenching story of how her organization got started, the dedication and dexterity it takes to keep character in difficult conversations, and the emotional response Alyssa and the princesses get when a child tells them they rung the bell to beat cancer.

Brandon Lopez is the CEO and executive director of The Embrace Foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit that provides insulin and diabetes testing supplies for type 1 and 2 diabetics that can not afford to pay for them. Since being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of seven years old, Brandon has dealt with the financial and healthcare woes that many diabetics in America suffer regularly. Diabetes is the seventh highest cause of death in the United States of America, and in 2018, the Center for Disease Control estimated that 34.2 million people in America had diabetes. That is 10.5% of the American population.

Seth & Roxanne Brown are youth pastors at Coastal Family Church in Nags Head, North Carolina. For the last 5 years, Seth and Roxanne have been in missions work in Montrouis, Haiti, sharing the love and gospel of Jesus Christ with the people of this beautiful country. Haiti was widely in the international news media when they experienced a 7.0 earthquake, which caused an estimated 300k deaths, and more than one million injuries in a country with a population of 10 million people. In the 12 years since the earthquake, nearly 30,000 citizens have still not recovered from the disaster. We discuss their journey into missions work, what their first missions trip looked like, the bonds that they have created by sharing the love of Christ, and how their work in Haiti has affected their mindset here in America. Seth and Roxanne have set up a gofundme so they can buy a truck to donate to their people in Haiti.
