MIRACLES ARE REAL! The Evidence That Will Change Your Faith | MANI SANDOVAL INTERVIEW

Hey family, what’s up? It’s Beto and Mili here from ChristianPodcast.com, and man, we are still buzzing from one of the most faith-stirring conversations we’ve ever had on the show. In a world that tries to explain everything away with science, logic, or just plain doubt, believing in miracles can feel like swimming upstream. But bro, let us tell you—miracles are not just Bible stories. They’re happening right now, today, in real people’s lives. And if your faith has ever felt a little shaky on this topic, this interview is going to hit you right in the heart.

We sat down with Mani Sandoval, the director and driving force behind the powerful new film *The Case for Miracles*. This brother has done the research, interviewed the eyewitnesses, and put together undeniable evidence that God is still very much in the business of breaking into our natural world with the supernatural. Mani isn’t just talking theory—he’s lived it, seen it, and now he’s sharing it so that skeptics and believers alike can encounter the living God.

Right here on this page, you’ll find the full video interview embedded below. We highly encourage you—don’t just read this recap—watch the whole thing. There’s an anointing on the conversation that you only feel when you hear Mani’s passion and our back-and-forth in real time. It’s long, but it’s worth every minute.

The Personal Foundation of Faith: Our Miracle Stories

Listen, before we ever talk about evidence or studies, faith in miracles always starts personal. Beto shared how God completely healed his knee while he was hiking Mount Whitney. Man, the pain was so bad he thought the trip was over, but in a moment, God touched him and the pain vanished—instantly. No explanation, no therapy, just divine intervention. That kind of encounter changes you forever.

Mani opened up about his own family’s miracles too. His mom was diagnosed with breast cancer, and the Lord healed her completely. Then his dad, who wasn’t walking with God at the time, gave his life to Christ in a powerful way. These aren’t distant stories—these are moms, dads, real lives turned around by the power of Jesus.

Mani gave us this beautiful definition: “A miracle is technically an intervention from God that happens instantaneously when there is no other reason or ability to do anything about it. It’s like God intervenes into our physical natural world.” That’s exactly what we’ve seen—God stepping in when human effort runs out. If you’ve ever experienced something like that, you know it’s not coincidence. It’s Him.

Presenting the Evidence: The Genesis of *The Case for Miracles*

So why did Mani even make this film? Because he saw the skepticism all around—people hungry for God but stumbling over the question, “Does He still do miracles today?” Mani’s heart was to answer that with real evidence, real stories, real investigations. The film isn’t just emotional—it’s solid. It’s for the person who needs proof before they can fully surrender.

He told us his deepest hope is that viewers will “almost collide with what we would call the Holy Spirit.” That as they watch these documented cases of healing, provision, and supernatural breakthrough, something inside them awakens to how close God actually is. Mani wants people to realize they’re not far from Him at all.

And then he dropped this line that wrecked us: “Anytime you seek true love, you’re going to collide with Christ.” Man, that’s it! The search for love, meaning, healing—it all leads back to Jesus. The evidence in the film isn’t just to win an argument; it’s to bring people face-to-face with the One who loves them perfectly.

The Mentality of Success: Working Hard and Sharing Dreams

We also got real practical in this conversation. Mani grew up as a first-generation immigrant, and his dad drilled into him: work harder than anyone expects, never see yourself as “less than,” and give everything 100%. That mentality carried him into Hollywood and into ministry.

Mili jumped in and shared how she’s raising her kids with the exact same fire: “Do it 100% or don’t do it at all.” Half-hearted effort doesn’t honor God and it doesn’t open doors. Excellence is worship.

Mani gave three golden keys for anyone wanting to break into film, ministry, or any dream God’s put on their heart:

1. **Do something**—create work, build a reel, get something out there to show.

2. **Share your dreams** with everybody—tell people what God’s called you to.

3. **Have courage to share your work**—put it out there, even when it’s scary.

Bro, if you’re sitting on a dream right now, these steps are actionable today. God honors boldness and hard work.

The Power of Collaboration: Unity in Diversity

One of the richest parts of the interview was talking about working across cultures—Anglo, Latino, and beyond. We’ve all felt the tension sometimes, but Mani said something profound: “Unity is not the same as uniformity. Meaning, we can be united, but it doesn’t mean we have to do it the same way.”

Success in the Kingdom isn’t about everyone looking or sounding the same. It’s about directing our energy higher—toward Jesus—and partnering together. When we focus on the mission instead of the differences, God moves powerfully. Mani’s seen it in film production, we’ve seen it in ministry, and it’s the future of the Church.

Final Thoughts: Step Into Your Miracle

Man, after talking with Mani, we’re more convinced than ever: miracles are real, God is moving, and He wants to move in your life too. As Beto always says, we need to know who Jesus is to us—personally, powerfully, right now. Don’t let doubt rob you of what God wants to do.

So here’s our challenge: What area of your life needs a miracle today? Don’t settle for explanations—invite the God of the impossible in. Watch the full interview below, let the evidence and testimonies stir your faith, and then step out expecting Him to show up.

Family, go watch the entire conversation on YouTube right now. You’re going to be encouraged, challenged, and filled with fresh faith.
