Ep 079: Watching for the Miracles | Denae Branch


Listen Later

What if the miracle isn’t that your trials disappear… but that God keeps showing up in the middle of them?

Denae Branch grew up in California with a diverse group of friends, strong opinions, and a typical teenage streak of rebellion. It wasn’t until attending EFY that she decided to ask for herself: Is there a God? And does He love me?

The answer came in a way she has never forgotten—an overwhelming, warm, fiery peace that changed the direction of her life. That prompting led her to move in with her grandparents for a fresh start. Even her parents received confirmation it was the right decision. From a young age, she learned that God doesn’t just answer prayers—He orchestrates lives.

Years later, during one of the hardest seasons her family had ever faced, Denae felt her heart hardening with anger and self-pity. Sitting in church one Sunday, as her bishop spoke about Job, she felt a quiet nudge from the Lord: Watch for the miracles instead of counting the losses.

So she did.

And they were everywhere.

Promptings to list their home when it didn’t make sense. Guidance to a specific new house that became a place of healing. Small, steady reassurances that God was near—even when life felt chaotic.

Now, after witnessing trauma that would shake anyone’s sense of safety, Denae has chosen not to grow quiet—but to grow bold. Her testimony is simple and steady: when we look for God’s hand, we find Him. And when we find Him, our trust deepens.

If you’ve been focusing on what’s gone wrong, maybe this is your reminder to start watching for what’s going right.
Listen to Denae’s story and ask yourself: Where has God shown up for me lately?
