The FBI Showed Up and I Heard God's Voice | Stephen Jenkins | 073

What happens when a man who's been running from God his entire life gets arrested by the FBI — and hears a voice that changes everything?

Stephen Jenkins' story begins where many wouldn't dare to share: molested at 12 years old by a trusted counselor, then told by his church to hide his struggle with homosexuality. He ran from God for a decade. But when the FBI and ATF showed up, the chase was finally over — and God met him in the last place he expected: a jail cell.

In this powerful episode of Coincidence or God? (formerly When You Look), host Mick Wienholt sits down with Stephen Jenkins — now a death doula and clothing designer — to unpack his journey from childhood trauma to divine encounter. Stephen opens up about the church's failure, his years of running, and the moment he knew: this was no coincidence.

This is THE place for faith-building, encouragement, inspiration, and real-life stories that remind you God is real, God is alive, and God is still changing lives every day.
