Todd Coconato: Stabbed 9 Times, He Heard God’s Voice & Miraculously Survived

About this episode

Todd Coconato shares his miraculous survival story after being stabbed nine times and how it led him to a life of faith and ministry.

When Todd Coconato was a child actor in Hollywood, he thought he was living the dream. He was surrounded by celebrities, parties, and everything the world calls success. But none of that mattered the night he was stabbed nine times, including once in the heart, and bleeding out in his car. In this powerful conversation, Todd shares how, in that moment between life and death, he heard the audible voice of God ask him one question that changed everything. Todd and Christina discuss his early years in Hollywood, the emptiness behind the lifestyle, the night of the attack, the miraculous way doctors said he should not be alive, and the moment he surrendered to God’s call on his life. He also shares how God led him into pastoral ministry, his work as an evangelist and broadcaster, and his heart for a “remnant” of believers who refuse to bow to the culture. If you’ve ever wondered whether your past disqualifies you, felt caught between two lives, or asked if God can really redeem your story, Todd’s testimony will give you hope and remind you that God still speaks, still saves, and still performs miracles.
