In this powerful Christian testimony episode, Stan Lovins shares his true story of radical transformation, physical healing, and encountering the resurrection power of Jesus Christ.

Stan grew up in Indianapolis surrounded by pain, abuse, and darkness. Searching for identity and escape, he turned to sports and eventually played professional baseball. After a devastating car accident, Stan’s life and identity were shattered, leaving him broken, injured, and desperate for truth.

After crying out to God, asking if He was real and if truth existed, everything changed.

Just days later, Stan witnessed a woman raised from the dead. In that same moment, Stan experienced physical healing in his own body. This supernatural encounter marked the beginning of a transformed life rooted in faith in Jesus Christ, freedom from shame, and complete surrender to God.

In this episode of Sips of Grace, we talk about Christian healing testimonies, the power of prayer, forgiveness, freedom from trauma, and how Jesus still heals today. Stan shares how no past is too broken, no sin too great, and no life beyond redemption through Christ.

This testimony will encourage your faith and point you back to the truth of the Gospel.

Listen with expectation.

From occult wizard to preaching the gospel. Brother Matthew’s story is one of the wildest journeys from darkness to light you’ll ever hear.

Drawn into martial arts, chi, and Eastern mysticism, he slowly slipped into New Age practices, white magic, and eventually full-blown black magic and spirit conjuring — all while living a double life and still showing up at church.

In this episode, Matthew shares:

What if many non-speaking people with autism have far more to say than we’ve ever imagined — and some of it gives us a glimpse into the spiritual world?

In this episode of Sips of Grace, Pastor and author Joe Infranco shares powerful stories from his book Decoding Cody about individuals who communicate through spelling — a form of augmented communication that’s opening new doors for understanding.

Joe explains how spelling works, how research has evolved, and why so many people using this method describe remarkably similar experiences: seeing angels, encountering Jesus, and visiting a place they call “the Hill.”

Together we explore angels, discernment, near-death parallels, and what these accounts might reveal about God’s mercy, love, and the unseen world around us.

• How “spelling” works — and why trust between the communicator and facilitator matters

0:00 — Why Joe’s work matters and how it began

Joe served 18 years with Alliance Defending Freedom before stepping into pastoral ministry. In Decoding Cody, he documents the voices and spiritual insights of non-speaking people with autism — and what their witness means for the Church.
