Wow. Think of it. After all, you have questions! You’ve been known to have a problem or two. It would be great if you could find the answers you’re looking for. You crack open that Bible a couple of times but just as quickly shut it. You want to love digging into Scripture. Instead, you find it intimidating, judgmental, and maybe even unbelievable. Let’s change that. Hi! I’m Anna Moore Bradfield, an award-winning and bestselling author, Christian speaker, and facilitator of workshops and events. I’ve been where you are. Plenty of times. I’ve questioned if God cared at all about what I was going through. Did he even have a plan for my life? When I got up the guts to tell him to his face, I found that he had very broad shoulders and that he could take anything I dished out. Then he began revealing himself to me. In this podcast, we’ll share: • Stories from the Bible that reveal God’s interactions with His people, confirming His desire for intimate, consistent, and loving relationships. • Stories from everyday life that testify to…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-21T14:21:47.747384+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/god-s-power-stories-finding-god-s-lead-how-god-shows-up-bible-and-everyday-life-stories-approaching-god-with-boldness-7102580"},"episode":{"title":"034 | The Widowmaker and the Waymaker: John Bradfield's Heart Attack, Miracle Surgery, and Spiritual Awakening","slug":"034-the-widowmaker-and-the-waymaker-john-bradfield-s-heart-attack-miracle-surgery-and-spiritual-awakening","published_at":"2025-06-10T12:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/god-s-power-stories-finding-god-s-lead-how-god-shows-up-bible-and-everyday-life-stories-approaching-god-with-boldness-7102580/034-the-widowmaker-and-the-waymaker-john-bradfield-s-heart-attack-miracle-surgery-and-spiritual-awakening","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/god-s-power-stories-finding-god-s-lead-how-god-shows-up-bible-and-everyday-life-stories-approaching-god-with-boldness-7102580","url":"https://rss.com/podcasts/gods-power-stories/2927510","audio_url":"https://content.rss.com/episodes/391520/2927510/gods-power-stories/2026_06_19_11_01_13_cb076fa1-52a5-4cad-856f-45d8820135e1.mp3","summary":"Hi, there! What if the very moment your loved one was supposed to leave the hospital room was the moment God used to save their life? I'll be honest with you — I have been after my husband, John Bradfield, to come on God's Power Stories since the very first episode. And he finally said yes. What he shares in this conversation is something I've never fully heard him tell from his own perspective — and even I was in tears. Six years ago, over Memorial Day weekend, John went to the hospital to visit his mother. He was there as a visitor. He never imagined he'd leave as a patient. When his mom tried to get out of bed, John rushed to catch her — and they both went down. She broke her femur. He collapsed with a seizure-like episode that no one could explain. And I — I was at the movies, completely unaware, with my phone on silent. What followed was a hospital weekend of advocacy, waiting, and growing frustration — right up until the moment a cardiologist, who should have already left the observation booth, glanced back one more time. What he saw — John sweating, pale, agitated — told him everything. A heart attack. His widowmaker artery was 100% blocked. Forty-five minutes later, the surgery was done. John was alive. And not only alive — when the testing was complete, there was zero damage to his heart. Not something we even thought to ask God for. Immeasurably more than we could think or ask or imagine. In this deeply moving conversation, John opens up about what he felt lying on that gurney — not fear for himself, but love for his family. He talks about his history of addiction, years of feeling unworthy of God's attention, and how surviving the unsurvivable became the spiritual awakening that changed everything. He also shares the quiet, powerful postscript: if he had gon…","meta_description":"Hi, there!
