Summary
People have stories of supernatural experiences that defy our understanding of life on earth. Most of us who have faith in God call these happenings "miracles". But sometimes we're reluctant to share our experiences due to the skeptical nature of humanity. How can we make sense of "miracles" or quantify and or document them as reliable and verified experiences? This week we welcome author Dr. Keener, who did his Ph.D. work in New Testament and Christian Origins at Duke University, to talk about his experience writing a best selling book on miracles. Keener goes into detail in his writings about well documented cases of miracles that have no other answer than divine intervention. Keener has sold well over a million copies of his thirty-plus books that are in circulation and has won thirteen national and international awards.

| 0:23.1 | He has a PhD now. |
| 0:24.1 | He was doing research in some different villages in Nigeria. |
| 0:29.9 | Neighbors came to him and said, you're a man of the high god. |
| 0:35.4 | Can you do something? |
| 0:36.4 | Here's our child who died. |
| 0:39.8 | He says he took the child aside for a couple of hours, praying, and then handed the child |
| 0:44.1 | back to them alive. |
| 0:45.9 | I thought, well, maybe he just hits it lucky once in a while. |
| 0:49.4 | Maybe they've been misdiagnosed as dead. |
| 0:51.2 | So maybe if he prays for everybody who's dead, maybe once or so, I said, how often did |
| 0:55.1 | you pray for somebody who died? |
| 0:57.2 | He said only twice. |
| 0:58.9 | The other was my best friend. |
| 1:00.0 | He didn't come back. |
| 1:01.8 | And at that point, he had to say, God, you are worthy of my trust, not because of this |
| 1:09.0 | or because of that. |
| 1:10.0 | You're worthy of my trust because you're trustworthy. |
