Heartbreak, Long Waiting, & Restoration | Cathy Garland | 047
Coincidence or God? | Miracles, Christian Encouragement & Faith-Building PodcastShow Notes
From devastating heartbreak and deep loss… to long waiting… and finally to powerful restoration—this is a story only God could write. In this unforgettable episode of When You Look, Mick sits down with Cathy Colver Garland, a woman whose life journey includes divorce, betrayal, miscarriage, years of waiting, and ultimately the redemptive faithfulness of God. Cathy opens up about discovering her husband’s addiction on their honeymoon, losing a child, waiting over a decade for God’s promise, and how God met her in the deepest places of pain with supernatural comfort, vision, and hope. This is not a polished highlight reel. It’s the real road—through suffering, disappointment, unanswered prayers, and the moments where God seemed silent… until He wasn’t. If you’ve ever wondered: • Is God still working when nothing is changing? • What do you do when waiting hurts? • Can God truly restore what was broken? …this conversation is for you. Cathy’s testimony will strengthen your faith, stir your hope, and remind you that delay is not denial—and restoration is never out of God’s reach. 👉 Watch to the end for one of the most powerful reflections on waiting, healing, and trusting God’s character you’ll hear.

Jenn Robb's 16-year-old daughter should have died that night. The doctor said there was no reason she should be alive. This Christian testimony with author and nurse practitioner, Jenn Robb, is for every parent praying for a teen in crisis. When Jenn's daughter Chloe (16) was found unresponsive on April 4th, doctors told her Chloe's blood alcohol level was four times the lethal limit. What happened next changed Jenn's faith forever. In the shower afterward, while bathing her daughter, Jenn heard God say: "As much as you love her, I love her more. You have to surrender her to me." That moment of surrender to God became the foundation of her book Warrior Mom Rising and her mission to help other parents advocate, pray, and find hope in the middle of teen anxiety, depression, self-harm, and mental health battles.
