From a small farm town to the sidelines of the Super Bowl, Porter’s story is nothing short of extraordinary -- but it’s not just about football. After a devastating childhood accident that led to losing his arm, Porter refused to let limitations define his future. Alongside his wife Carly, they share a powerful journey of faith, resilience, and unexpected blessings.

But their greatest challenges -- and miracles -- aren’t found on the field. As parents navigating life with a nonverbal autistic son, they open up about heartbreak, growth, and the kind of love that changes everything.

This episode is a raw and inspiring reminder that life rarely goes as planned—but through the ups and downs, God is always working behind the scenes.

✨ A story of family, faith, and finding purpose through it all.

In this deeply personal and emotional episode of Angels Among Us, Brent and Mikaela sit down with someone incredibly close to their hearts—Alex.

If you’ve been following along, you heard Heidi’s side of this story last week. Now, Alex shares her perspective—what it was like growing up adopted, navigating relationships with both her adoptive and birth families, and eventually meeting the people she had only known about from a distance.

From childhood curiosity to teenage questions, and finally to a powerful, full-circle moment meeting her entire birth family, Alex opens up about identity, love, and the complexity of belonging to more than one family.

She shares the quiet struggles—wondering where she fit, trying not to hurt anyone, and processing emotions that many adoptees face but don’t always talk about. But more than anything, this episode is about love—the kind that spans years, distance, and circumstances.

Alex also shares touching experiences where she felt guided, protected, and reminded that she was never alone—including a powerful moment on Christmas Day that changed her perspective forever.

This is a story about adoption, faith, identity, and the undeniable truth that we are placed exactly where we’re meant to be.
