In this episode of Short Story Wednesday, Brent and Mikaela take a step back from storytelling to share something more personal—what’s been happening behind the scenes and why it matters so much to them.

After receiving an unexpected email from a listener, they reflect on the impact this podcast is having and how small moments of encouragement can mean everything. That one message sparked bigger conversations about the future of the show, including a shift away from ads and a vision to grow something much deeper—a community built on light, connection, and giving back.

They also share exciting news about an upcoming interview connected to the powerful story behind The Cokeville Miracle, and why this story has been on their hearts since the beginning.

To close the episode, Brent and Mikaela get emotional as they celebrate their daughter Reese’s birthday. They reflect on her adoption journey, the miracles that brought her into their lives, and the deep love they have for the little girl who made them parents.

From heartfelt gratitude to powerful faith-filled moments, this episode is a reminder that even the smallest acts of kindness can be life-changing—and that we are never alone.

In this deeply personal and emotional episode of Angels Among Us, Brent and Mikaela sit down with someone incredibly close to their hearts—Alex.

If you’ve been following along, you heard Heidi’s side of this story last week. Now, Alex shares her perspective—what it was like growing up adopted, navigating relationships with both her adoptive and birth families, and eventually meeting the people she had only known about from a distance.

From childhood curiosity to teenage questions, and finally to a powerful, full-circle moment meeting her entire birth family, Alex opens up about identity, love, and the complexity of belonging to more than one family.

She shares the quiet struggles—wondering where she fit, trying not to hurt anyone, and processing emotions that many adoptees face but don’t always talk about. But more than anything, this episode is about love—the kind that spans years, distance, and circumstances.

Alex also shares touching experiences where she felt guided, protected, and reminded that she was never alone—including a powerful moment on Christmas Day that changed her perspective forever.

This is a story about adoption, faith, identity, and the undeniable truth that we are placed exactly where we’re meant to be.

The Dream That Solved a Plane Crash Mystery

Sometimes the most powerful pieces of a miracle come from those standing quietly on the outside.

In this episode of Short Story Wednesday, Brent and Mikaela sit down with Betty and Jeremy Chamberlain to hear the incredible experience they had following the tragic plane crash that nearly took the lives of Rob and Kelly Hatch. After hearing that Kelly had somehow been found outside the wreckage, Betty couldn’t stop thinking about how it happened.

That night, she had a dream she would never forget.

Was it coincidence… or something more?

Betty and Jeremy share their powerful testimony about angels, the thin veil between heaven and earth, and how God sometimes uses ordinary people to deliver extraordinary messages.

Brent sits down with his five-year-old daughter, Reese, for an unfiltered, sweet, and surprisingly profound conversation about life, adoption, angels, and what she knows to be true.

From declaring she “knows everything” to sharing what it means to be adopted, Reese reminds us of the simple, powerful faith children carry so naturally. She talks about seeing angels, why she believes God protects us, and why listening to your mom and dad might just be the best advice out there.

In between the giggles, interruptions, and honest kid-logic, there’s something deeper — a reminder that heaven may be closer than we think… and that sometimes the smallest voices carry the biggest truths.

This episode is lighthearted, tender, and full of childlike faith.

You might even find yourself seeing the world a little differently by the end.

What started as a normal day ended in flames.

In Part One of this two-part episode, Kelly and Robb recount the terrifying plane crash that changed their lives forever. First responders Deb and Clay recount the moments leading up to the crash and what lead them to the wreckage — a scene that didn’t add up and injuries that didn’t make sense.

And then, in the middle of the fire, Kelly heard a voice say:

“Be calm. I am here.”

But how did she get out of the plane?

This episode takes you into the chaos, the rescue, and the unexplainable details — leaving one life-changing question unanswered.

Part Two reveals what happened next.
