In this unforgettable episode of You Can Handle the Truth!, we finally tell David's side of the story - how a smuggled journey out of Iran, a revolution-era detour in Romania, and a lost suitcase led him to the very escalator in a New Jersey mall where he met my mom on the last day of her 8-day prayer for her future husband.
This is a story of divine timing, answered prayer, and the kind of miracle that only God can orchestrate. If you’ve ever doubted that God is in the details, this episode will give you hope.
Whether you’re navigating singleness, waiting for breakthrough, or just love a good real-life miracle story - this one’s for you.
