Where was God?

Episode 1: Faith Like a Child — I Prayed and the Van Started | Mariella’s Story

What can an 8-year-old teach us about faith?

When the family van wouldn’t start and they were already running late for school, Mariella had a simple thought: Jesus would answer this for me. She prayed, asking Jesus to help the van start—and the very next time her dad tried it, the van started. Pasted text Pasted text

In the very first episode of Where Was God?, Melissa Petersen sits down with her 8-year-old daughter, Mariella, to hear the story in her own words and talk about the simple faith of a child.

Inspired by Matthew 17:20 and faith as small as a mustard seed, this episode is a reminder that we don’t always have to understand everything before we pray.

Maybe faith that moves mountains doesn’t always start with a mountain. Sometimes it starts with a van that won’t start.
