Mick Weinholt's life has been marked by profound loss and miraculous survival. After the devastating stillbirth of his firstborn son Luke, Mick and his wife found themselves crying out to a God they knew of but had never truly known. This heartbreaking loss became the catalyst that transformed them from people with intellectual knowledge of Christianity into believers with genuine faith. Their journey through grief, including a subsequent miscarriage and the eventual blessing of three living children, reveals how tragedy can reshape not just individual lives but entire family trajectories.

Before becoming a father, Mick survived a near-fatal avalanche on a Colorado mountain at age 19. With catastrophic injuries including a skull broken in three places, a shattered jaw, and his scalp split wide open, he walked out alone, only to find a stranger named Steve waiting in the car park with no explanation for being there. Now hosting his own podcast "When You Look," Mick collects stories from ordinary people experiencing extraordinary moments, inviting listeners to decide whether these events are mere coincidences or evidence of God at work in the modern world.

Kim Harms never expected to hear the word "cancer" twice. After beating breast cancer with only a 5-6% chance of recurrence, she was devastated when it returned seven years later, this time more advanced and requiring intensive chemotherapy. Kim's story isn't just about surviving cancer; it's about discovering God's presence in the darkest valleys. During her second battle, whilst enduring 16 rounds of chemotherapy, her son Owen began mysteriously losing weight and strength, ultimately being diagnosed with ulcerative colitis after months of frightening uncertainty.

Through these overlapping crises, Kim found her calling. She's written two books, Life Reconstructed and Carried Through Cancer, and co-ordinates a ministry that sends free mastectomy pillows worldwide. Her raw honesty about crying on her floor, making promises to God, watching friends fade away, and feeling the isolation of cancer will resonate with anyone facing overwhelming circumstances. Kim's story reminds us that we're not promised smooth sailing, but we are promised God's presence, and that makes all the difference. (Want to be a guest on Bleeding Daylight?
