Warning: some of this content is a bit tough to hear, so listener discretion is advised. Sometimes you have a guest on that simply blows your mind. Will Hart has been on the front line serving people in some of the most difficult and war torn areas in the world. As the president of Iris Global, Will is on a mission to serve, bring God's love to the people of Mozambique and usher in change. Will also has seen a thing or two. A miraculous thing or two. He is the first guest I have had on the program that will look you in the virtual eye and share that he has seen multiplication of food, healing of the blind and deaf and cars that run on empty for an entire day. Things that defy explanation. Take a listen and you decide what is actually going on.

Jon Tyson, our friend and pastor of Church of the City, stops by Kinda Christian to answer some of the tough questions and talk about his new book the Intentional Father which continues to roar up the charts.

John Mark Comer stops by to discuss all things spiritual and his new book LIVE NO LIES. Be sure to check it out wherever fine books are sold.

 08:51 – 13:26 The process for the Cause of Saints. 16:45 – 17:35 How the evidence is studied and vetted19:40 – 19:58 "Now it's very important to realize that a miracle has two elements; there's a scientific element and a theological element. The scientific element is that there is no human explanation for what happened, and so therefore you never ask the doctor: "is it a miracle?" you ask the doctor: "what is the diagnosis?"23:08 Why the process has to be so strict "The whole idea is to prove this in the external forum. In other words it has to be measurable, it has to be scientific, it has to be factual." 31:58" everyone is a Devils advocate, because nobody has the right to be canonized." (fr. Sarno)48:45 – 51:09 Why aren't more miracles widespread and well known?53:05 – 53:24  Ryan has his own miracle with Father Sarno58:15 – 01:00:45 Why are we seeing less miracles today?01:02:30 – 01:05:38 The doctrine of communion with Saints in the Catholic Church and explaining it to protestants. 01:13:40 – 01:14:23"Passing implies a passing of one life to another."
