In this episode of Sermons on the Side, Richard and Brad revisit the 1998 animated classic The Prince of Egypt and reflect on why it continues to stand the test of time. From its stunning animation to its powerful retelling of the story of Moses and the Exodus, the film remains one of the most meaningful faith-based movies of our generation. We also look back at the cultural impact of its award-winning song, When You Believe, famously performed by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey - a duet that became a global phenomenon and still gives listeners chills. 

But this conversation goes deeper than nostalgia. We explore the difference between a wow moment and a whoa moment. A wow moment impresses us -  incredible vocals, powerful production, emotional crescendos. A whoa moment reorients us - lifting our eyes from what’s horizontal to what’s eternal. When you hear the song within the context of the film, you’re not focused on the performance; you’re drawn into the truth behind the lyrics and the faith they point toward. 

This episode is an invitation to examine what holds your gaze. Are we simply moved by moments, or are we allowing them to move us toward Christ? In our everyday lives - in parenting, work, leadership, waiting, and wrestling - miracles don’t always look like parted seas. Sometimes they look like quiet obedience, steady trust, and hope when nothing around us has changed. Join us as we talk about faith, perspective, and fixing our eyes on Jesus - because there really can be miracles when you believe.
