Monsters Inside Me: A Riveting Love Story to Death and Back

﻿

What happens when a Christian psychiatrist wants to marry a “spiritual” Richard Dawkins atheist—and then a medical crisis changes everything? When a fun trip to Hawaii turned into a life-threatening medical emergency involving 17 doctors, multiple organ failures, and a medically induced coma, all hope seemed lost. But what happened next was nothing short of miraculous!

Join Frank as he sits down with Garrett & Aja Halweg, a married couple that formed a powerful union against all odds! Tune in as they share their story of Garrett’s brush with death, Aja’s testimony of becoming a Christian, and how both of these events ultimately led them to become powerful ambassadors for Christ (and appear on Animal Planet)! Tune in as they unpack their story and answer questions like:

How did Garrett and Aja initially form a strong connection despite their opposing worldviews?

Why did doctors misdiagnose Garrett and how did God supernaturally reveal the true cause of his life-threatening illness to Aja?

What series of events led to Aja’s conversion and baptism?

Why did Aja experience a post-conversion crisis of faith and what role did apologetics play in strengthening her new belief in Christianity?

Why does Garrett believe that God allowed him to get sick?

How did Aja maintain peace throughout Garrett’s time in the hospital?

What troubling scenes did Garrett see during his near death experience, and how did Biola & Talbot professors help him to process this traumatic encounter with the unseem realm?

Garrett and Aja Halweg’s testimony is a powerful display of God’s sovereignty, love, and healing in the midst of a terrifying test of faith. You’ll hear how their story caught the attention of the hit TV show, ‘Monsters Inside Me‘—and how God used tragedy to draw both of them closer to Him and to each other. This is more than a near-death experience. It’s a front-row seat to the supernatural work of God. Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction, and you definitely won’t want to miss this amazing story of God’s providence!
