In this deeply personal episode of Witness the Wonder, Host Christina Smith shares her own miraculous journey through infertility and the powerful lesson of surrender that became one of the most transformational seasons of her life.

After being told by specialists that conceiving was medically impossible, Christina found herself at a crossroads:

Would she continue striving, obsessing, and trying to control the outcome…or would she trust God enough to finally lay it all at His feet?

This isn’t just a story about infertility.

It’s a story about surrender.

About learning to trust God in the waiting. And about the first miracle that happens inside of us when we stop trying to carry things God never intended us to carry.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• ​The devastating doctor’s appointment that shattered Christina’s dream of becoming a mother
• ​The “two-year-old temper tantrum” she threw on God and what He said back
• ​The prophetic word from her mother-in-law, Aggie, that ignited her faith
• ​How what felt like delay was actually God preparing a bigger future than she could see
• ​The moment she finally held her daughter, Kiersten Grace
• ​How God used this season to shape the vision that eventually became her business for almost 19 years

If you’re in a season of waiting or facing a situation that feels impossible, this episode is for you.

Just because God hasn’t done it yet…doesn’t mean He won’t.

What do you do when a dream you’ve spent 25 years working toward almost destroys you?

In this episode of Witness the Wonder, Alison Gieschen shares her story of surviving a life-threatening storm at sea that left her shaken, afraid, and wondering if she could keep going.

What began as a lifelong dream to sail around the world quickly turned into a fight for survival when massive waves overtook their boat. Even after making it through the storm, the fear didn’t disappear. Alison found herself questioning whether she could continue the journey.

But what happened next changed everything.

From an unexpected encounter just three boats away to a series of moments she describes as divine, maybe even supernatural appointments, Alison began to see her story differently. This is a powerful conversation about fear, faith, and learning to trust God even when you do not understand what is happening.

In this episode:

• A storm at sea that nearly ended their journey
• The emotional aftermath of fear and trauma
• An unexpected encounter that shifted everything
• How perspective changes when you begin to trust God
