What happens when God intervenes at the last possible moment?
In this powerful episode of Truth Behind the Mike with Mike Stone, Christian journalist Mark Ellis (GodReports.com) shares jaw-dropping true stories of faith, survival, and eternity.

Mark has spent 25 years collecting real, verified testimonies of God at work—from the only known survivor inside the 9/11 impact zone, to an atheist professor who encountered hell during a near-death experience, to an astronaut who met Jesus on the moon.

These aren’t emotional exaggerations. They’re documented encounters that point to one undeniable truth: God is near, active, and still changing lives today.

It seems like every few weeks, another Christian leader falls—and many believers are left confused, discouraged, or even mocked for their faith.

In this episode of Behind the Mike Podcast, Mike & Joshua Stone slow the conversation down and ask a deeper question: Why does this keep happening—and what does it reveal about where our faith is anchored?

This is not a reaction video.
This is not about piling on fallen leaders.
And this is not about abandoning Christianity.

Instead, we talk honestly about:
• Why gifting is not the same as godliness
• Why public platforms often hide private struggles
• Why Christian celebrity culture is leaving people spiritually disoriented
• And how to build a faith that survives disappointment, hypocrisy, and failure

If recent stories have left you wondering whether Christianity itself can be trusted—or if your faith feels shaken by the failures of others—this conversation is for you.

Christianity was never built on impressive people.
It was built on an unchanging Savior.

It feels like everything is offensive now, and outrage is everywhere.

Disagreement feels dangerous.
Conversations feel tense.
And outrage feels like the default response to almost everything.

Most people sense something has changed—but they struggle to explain why.

In this episode of Behind the Mike, we step back and look at what’s happening beneath the surface. Not from a political angle. Not from an outrage-driven angle. But from a biblical and human one.

This is a thoughtful conversation with Mike Stone about what happens when a culture slowly loses moral grounding, how outrage fills the vacuum, and why disagreement now feels personal and threatening. We’ll explore human nature, cultural shifts, and Scripture—not to scold, but to understand.

In this video, we talk about:
• Why outrage thrives in fragile belief systems
• What replaces God when He’s removed from the center
• Why identity and desire became sacred
• Why disagreement feels like hatred today
• How outrage replaces grace
• What Scripture says about truth, worship, and confusion
• Why God’s Word must be something bigger than ourselves
• A calmer, rooted, Christ-centered way forward

This isn’t about winning arguments.
It’s about being grounded in a world that feels increasingly fragile.

👉 If you’ve felt exhausted by constant anger or tension, this conversation is for you.
