CCM: Yes, it did!
JS: And that could be a coincidence. That could’ve just happened, maybe? But I think we have the opportunity to see these wonderful little things that happen in life. And when I landed, it was this beautiful Monday afternoon in Nashville and I walked out of the airport and the crisp, clean air and I was like, “This place is beautiful right now. And I’m so grateful for that because I need to film this thing and it needs to look good.” I mean, that, to me, is like a little mini-miracle, little things like that. If we’re not looking for them, we can miss seeing them as something that God is doing. And it’s more fun to see God in everything.

CCM: And isn’t it just like God to remind us that He is ultimately in control—because think of the hundreds-of-thousands-of-others who also needed a pretty day, for just as many reasons? Many “mini-miracles,” as you put it, also coming together for a God-sized one? Something, again, only He can do?
JS: Another example of the miracles-thing for me was when my son was born. My wife had a pretty crazy birth situation. Everything was going fine and then all of a sudden, the baby’s heart rate dropped and there were some very specific issues that caused her to have an emergency C-section. Literally, within less than 20-minutes, everything went from fine to chaos. Our regular doctor was not there that day, the one giving birth was a doctor we had never met. But she just happened to have a bunch of experience with this very particular problem that had happened. We weren’t supposed to have our baby with her, but she was there and knew exactly what to do. Because of that, we have a healthy baby and my wife has recovered. So, it’s stuff like that where I go, “Okay…alright God, You’re in control. You got it!”

CCM: We would say that’s a “big miracle.”
JS: For us, it was. We call that a big one.

CCM: What’s another big miracle you’ve experienced recently?
JS: So, Dan had a tumor in his tibia, which is the larger bone in the bottom half of your leg. It kept coming back. So, he’d have a surgery to remove it. They’d put in a cadaver bone, which is a dead guy bone, which is really weird… They did that, and then a year later, it came back again. They did another surgery—took all his bones in his leg out, dipped them all in nitrogen to kill every cell, and then put them back in—and the tumor still came back. So, eventually they just took them all out, put in a prosthetic bone—which is a metal or ceramic, or something—and then did a full knee replacement. Basically they bionic-ed his leg!
