    Imagine dropping 65 feet, starring death in the face, pushing the limits of what's possible, and turning a high school dream into a life most people only imagine. That’s the world of professional snowboarder Tom Gilles!

    From jaw-dropping snowboarding stunts to appearances in extreme sports movies and TV commercials, Tom experienced incredible adventures and accomplishments. From the outside, it looked like he had it all. But even with the success, the excitement, and the life he had dreamed of, something was missing. His life felt empty without Christ.

    Tom's journey didn't start with fame or world records. It started with a dream.

    As a high school student, Tom dreamed of becoming a professional snowboarder. He packed up and moved to Lake Tahoe, hoping to make that dream a reality. Then, on his very first day on the slopes, an unexpected meeting with a professional cinematographer changed everything. Before he knew it, Tom was on his way to appearing in what would become the biggest snowboarding movie of the year.

    But Tom's story goes deeper than extreme sports and chasing dreams. His journey led him to discover that no amount of success, adventure, or achievement could fill the emptiness he felt inside. What he truly needed was a relationship with Jesus Christ.

    Today, Tom travels the country helping others navigate the ups and downs of pursuing their dreams, sharing life lessons from his incredible journey and the hope he has found in Christ.

    In this episode of The Reveal Podcast, Tom opens up about his wild adventures, the moments that changed his life, and the difference between achieving everything you've ever dreamed of and discovering what truly matters.

    As Tom puts it, “Mountains are a lot like dreams. Some will just sit back and stare, but for those who are willing to charge up, I guarantee you the view is worth it.”

    Get ready for an inspiring conversation about chasing big dreams, finding true purpose, and discovering that even when you have everything the world offers, the greatest thing you can find is Jesus.

    After numerous miscarriages, ectopic pregnancies, years of heartbreak, and countless moments of wondering if their prayers would ever be answered, Luke and Samantha welcomed their miracle baby after 11 years of waiting.

    In this raw and deeply personal episode, Luke opens up about the highs and lows of their journey through pregnancy loss, infertility, disappointment, and ultimately, answered prayer. He talks about the moments when everything felt like it had come crashing down—when it seemed like God was silent, distant, or maybe had even forgotten them.

    But their story is a reminder that God is still with you in the storm.

    Maybe you're walking through a season where nothing makes sense. Maybe you've prayed the same prayer for years and you're starting to wonder if God hears you. Luke shares what they learned through 11 years of waiting: keep trusting Him, even when you can't see what He's doing.

    God hasn't left you. Your story isn't over. Put your trust in Him—and watch what He can do.

    Jesus went through the worst death imaginable—beaten, mocked, betrayed by one of His own disciples, abandoned by His friends, falsely accused, and ultimately crucified on a cross He didn’t deserve. In this episode, we take a deep look into the final 24 hours of Jesus’ life and the unimaginable pain and sacrifice He willingly endured for humanity.

    Alwyn Uys is a farm boy that grew up on the East Coast of South Africa with big ambitions to make a career of most loved sport as a youngster growing up, namely rugby, but at the age of 21 when he was well on his way to make a career out of rugby the setbacks and challenges started to hit him.

    At the age of 21 Alwyn was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis resulting in a life changing operation that deemed him unable to play sport again after that but despite this setback, Alwyn never gave up and ran out on the rugby pitch one last time. During this match he tore his shoulder, bicep and pectoral muscles clean off the bone which inevitably ended his rugby career. If that isn’t bad enough, Alwyn soon after his rugby injury sustained a motor vehicle accident at the age of 24 that nearly took his life if it wasn’t for Hosea that found him paralysed next to his crushed vehicle and helped him to safety. “Waking up the next morning, paralysed, unable to move anything from my chest down, it all felt like a bad dream! That this wasn’t happening to me right now.” was the first thoughts that surged through Alwyn’s mind post-accident.

    Fast forward 7 years later, Alwyn didn’t just overcome paralysis but depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts. He battled his demons, picked himself up and re-dedicated his life to Christ and to live fully for Jesus, Alwyn became the first Paraplegic in South Africa to ever complete a full-distance Ironman in a wheelchair and the first Paraplegic in the world to ever successfully swim from Robben Island to Blouberg beach which is an iconic 8km swim on the West coast of South Africa. Alwyn is an author of his auto-biography, co-director of his own life story documentary “Against all odds”, Ironman, ultra-athlete and servant of the Lord where he travels the world preaching, sharing his message of hope and inspiring millions with his unique story and testimony of how God can turn around any situation for the benefit of the Kingdom of God.
