Two families living 3,000 miles apart discovered that their adopted daughters, Olivia Coogle and Emaline Ricketts, were actually identical twins after one mother spotted an unmistakable resemblance in a photo shared by an adoption group.

Listen For:


How one photograph led two adoptive families to discover their daughters were identical twins

Adopted Identical Twins Reunite After Families Discover the Truth 3,000 Miles Apart

A Yellowstone bison attack left 65-year-old Carl McDaniel with a femur broken in four places after the animal charged and threw him roughly eight feet into the air as he tried to draw it away from his 13-year-old grandson. Though the bison stood over him and could have attacked again, Carl survived, underwent surgery, and was taking his first steps in physical therapy just days later, a close call he and others see as a powerful reminder of God’s mercy and protection.

Listen For:


How a peaceful Yellowstone wildlife encounter suddenly turned into a terrifying bison attack


Why Carl told his grandson to run while he tried to draw the charging bison away


The remarkable moment the bison stood over Carl but did not attack again


How a witness stepped in to help, and Carl began walking again just days after surgery
