He Didn’t Believe in Jesus — Until He Saw Him - #157 Josh Smallwood

"I spent 37 years trying to prove that Jesus was a myth. I looked at history, logic, and science to find an exit—until a 'television-clear' vision appeared in my garage that I couldn't explain away. It wasn't a dream. It was a collision." JOIN THE JOURNEY: 🙌 Miraculous Encounters With God Playlist:   • Encounters With God   In Episode #157, Josh Smallwood shares the raw journey of a professional skeptic who went from mocking Christianity to having a physical encounter with Jesus. If you think faith is just for the "simple-minded," Josh’s evidence-based story will challenge every logical barrier you’ve built. IN THIS EPISODE: ✅ The Garage Vision: The moment a physical light changed everything. ✅ The NDE Evidence: Why a skeptic couldn't ignore the consistency of Near-Death Experiences. ✅ The Historical Wall: How the data for the Resurrection eventually broke his resistance. ✅ Healing the Past: How Jesus reframed Josh’s deepest trauma without saying a word. SUPPORT A STRONGER FAITH: We are on a mission to show that God is a person, not a theory.
