Yes, I have. One that stands out involved my 2-year-old daughter. The relationship between her father and I was on the brink of dissolving and my future felt uncertain and difficult. I believed before this, but this incident crystalized my belief. Since she had been born, I had prayed that God would help me raise his child well. There were times I would feel fearful, then look down at her in my arms, and suddenly know everything was going to be Okay. I was putting her to bed one night around age 2 when she took my face between her two pudgy little hands :), looked into my eyes like she was looking at the backs of my eyeballs, and said, "Mama, everything is going to be alright." I asked her, "It is?" She answered "Yes, I promise." She seemed so out of character at the time and I had goosebumps down my legs. I hardly knew what to say. I didn't feel like I was talking to her, but to someone else entirely. I didn't want to scare my daughter, but I also wanted to know more about what was going on. I just looked into her eyes and asked, "Who are you?" She replied, "I'm Eesa. I'm a soldier." This is NOT her name nor anyone we know, and she couldn't even pronounce the word soldier, but that's clearly what she said. I thanked her for letting me know and asked if there was anything else to tell me. She said no. So, I said, "Well, Eesa, it's about time for you to lie down and get to sleep now." She looked away from me, shook her head, then looked back at me and said, "I'm not Eesa any more. I'm Nicole." Then she laid down and I tucked her in and gave her a kiss goodnight. I didn't let her see me shaking. Then, I took the monitor, went out of earshot, and called my mother! My daughter is grown now, and nothing like this has happened since. Mayim, I especially enjoyed today's episode of your show. I may play the last 7 minutes from a grief support group. Would that be alright with you? Thanks for all you do.
When my daughter was 3 she went to pre school. I was called in for a meeting. Taylor had told her teacher a "story" that they wanted me to be aware of. They said she had been so serious as she told them that Jesus came to visit her. We brought her in and she said, He did come to see me. I asked her what he said and she said we just talked. I asked what he looked like. This is what gave me goosebumps and made me believe her. She looked me right in the eyes, serious as could be and said, He was Light. I looked at her teachers and we just all felt it. What 3 year old ever describes someone as being Light.
It didn't make me believe in a higher power, I was already a believer. But it definitely strengthen my faith. God had called me to switch to a different church, much bigger than the one I was attending. I argued with Him about it. He gave me a vision of me wearing a red skirt with a black and white polka dotted shirt standing up at the front of service facing the congregation. There was a lady coming off of the stage that I didn't know. I thought it was ridiculous. I couldn't figure out why I was standing up front, who the lady was and where I got the red skirt from (I didn't own a red skirt at that time). I eventually ended up switching to that church. About 6 months into me being there, I wore a red skirt with a black and white polka dotted shirt to church. I was serving as a prayer partner (someone who waits for 5 mins or so after the service to pray with anyone who comes up asking for prayer). As I got up to stand in the front (facing the congregation) a lady that I had become friends with, who was working on her ordination classes, walked off the stage having finished her sermon. She was the lady from the vision. I heard her say word for word what God had shown me. She was wearing the exact outfit from my vision. It was "trippy" at first. I don't share that with many people because I know they'd think I was crazy for "getting a "vision" from God". If I were to look at this from a non-believer's stand point, I would think I was crazy, but I know what I experienced and it was awesome.
I love Uzo Aduba! So cool that you interviewed her, and that she shared so much with you two! I love that y'all dig in and bring out that human side of each person you interview, and makes me feel that human connection. We aren't alone...we have more in common than not. 😊
"When my faith was wobbly, my mother's faith was so strong and strong enough to pour into me.... to give me the covering I needed to keep going." Aww.......... how encouraging for us faithful Moms.
My eyes are leaking! Thank you for a wonderful substantive interview with Uzo Aduba. She's very down to earth, which makes her storytelling more impactful.
I have enjoyed your podcasts immensely, but every once in a while you have a guest/interview that knocks it out of the park. This is one of those. I loved it. Uzo is so smart, poised, articulate & humble. And beautiful. Uzo don’t you dare close that gap! It’s sexy as hell. Thanks for making an otherwise unremarkable Tuesday into a joyous experience.
She is so down to earth, such a gorgeous person. Her faith is so remarkable!! I watched half of this at work this morning and I just finished when I got home. The conversation between you guys was wonderful and made my day! Such a beautiful episode.. I loved this!!
I had a very similar experience with beauty standards. I thought my nose was ugly. All the other girls my age had such nice straight and triangular noses. Mine is knobby. But I had a friend. And she loved my nose. Whenever she saw me in profile she said: I like your nose. And after a year I learned to love that part of me. Today my nose is one of the things I like most about myself. I also learned that the correct term is snub nose. I could go on and on. I litterally took notes!😅 that episode hooked me differently. She just spoke right to my heart. With everything🥰
Since my spiritual awakening at age 49 (totally out of the blue, I was not religious or spiritual at all), I’ve had many transcendental experiences with God (Source). Visions, journeys, teachings, etc.. I didn’t believe in God before. And now we have this beautiful relationship; it’s like I got a parent and a best friend who is always their loving and supporting me. I have 2 degree in civil engineering, but now I am a Reiki master and Healer. I help others who are awakening.

Mayim, this was stupendous! Uzo was fascinating and inspiring; she reminded me that all of us share the same valleys in life, but our lineage doesn't define who we can become. Love your channel!
Thank you for this episode. I saw Uzo Aduba perform in Godspell on Broadway many years ago and was so blown away by her talent and presence on stage that I never forgot her. When I then saw that she was in Orange is the New Black I watched the series just to see her. She's a beautiful human and it's so good to see that on display when we see so much of the opposite portrayed in public spaces these days.
Peace beyond all understandings… such a beautiful sentence. 💙❤️ I loved this episode so much. It touched me deeply and I feel such a strong emotion and gratitude for it. Thank you for sharing this extraordinary episode with all of us. 💙❤️🫂
Gap Toothed Women by Les Blank -- yes she is blessed. The light of God shines through the gap to your beautiful voice. And yes it is all relative too. 🦄
Mayim I’m just gonna fan girl on you and Jonathan ❤Love your intelligence, fun and funny, and you guys are the cutest. Uzo is amazing and a pleasure. Orange is the New Black got me through a severe fractured arm and surgery, so thank you Uzo and all the gals‼️‼️Thanks to you all for this. Your podcast has helped me so much over the years.
I'm not saying this was Uzo Abuda's intention, but stories like this help push the belief that only "white" people are racist and that every other culture/ race are the victims. I grew up surrounded by the Mexican culture with a handful of Japanese ( I was blonde w/ green eyes ). My experience is/was Uzo Abuda's🤷
I love this quote! Religion is the rules, regulations, ceremonies and rituals developed by man to create conformity and uniformity in the approach to God. Spirituality is God's call in your soul. Iyanla Vanzant
Religion/denominations are man made. God only wants one thing from you..... a relationship ( that's it, nothing more ). The best place for that is to find a "non-denominational" church that teaches God's word👍
What a beautiful and great interview! Loved it. I also loved how Jonathon tries to find a verifiable reason for Uzo’s timely message bc I see him as one who knows it’s possible in some way. I had an experience the other night which never happened to me before… I have a headband that I wear at night which allows me to listen to music or podcasts as I fall asleep (never yours!) then it shuts off. There’s a female robot voice that says “connected” when it’s powered on an “disconnected” when powered off. During the middle of the night I was awoken by that same voice kind of garbled saying “Please come outside”… huh? I thought maybe I had dreamt it. Then, again… but a little more clearly. And I’m thinking am I awake? And I determined I really was awake . The third and last time, I heard VERY clearly “Please…come…outside!” Okay, it freaked me out and if I was better at following guidance, I would have gone outside…but stayed snuggled in bed. All kinds of things raced through my head, maybe the beautiful moon was out to be enjoyed, but, we have bears and fox and coyotes, etc, that come through our yard (trail cams). I didn’t go but I know I’ll always wonder what was outside!!!! It wasn’t knowing something bad awaited me, it was my fear of the unknown that kept me in bed. And….I didn’t even think to ask why?!?
Thank you Mayim for this episode of your podcast with Uzo. It was fascinating conversation and your interest in her faith story was evident. When i was a child i had a hamster called Tilly. My friend and i were playing with with Tilly in the bathroom upstairs when she escaped through a hole in the wall just behind the sink. Immediately we knew we needed help and ran down to my parents to tell them. Only moments before my parents had stood in the kitchen below and heard something fall down through the wall cavity. When we told them what had happened they knew we would not see Tilly again. They could not bear to tell me. My friends mother, the vicars wife, felt awful that the hamster had probably met its end whilst playing with her daughter. She prayed to God in faith that the hamster was alive and would return. Two weeks passed and my friends mum was in the local post office and noticed an ad for a lost hamster that had been found. When we checked it was three doors down and the elderly lady was caring for the hamster. She had spotted Tilly playing near her pond, stalked by local cats. She rescued Tilly and had been feeding her chocolate grapes and cheese. We were amazing that she had survived the fall, escaped, made it throuhh three gardens past a dog and various cats. She lost only a small part of her ear and was living a life of luxury. My father still stands in church and tells the tale of how Tilly miraculously survived and came home. It is one of his favourites. He also tells the miracke of fence panels, but thats another story. Thank you for your open, honesty and jolliness.
My awareness story is long, so I'm going to fast forward to after the birth of my 2nd son, when I hemorrhaged, not once but twice & I died. This was the 3rd time dying for me. I was "at the gate" every time. I know God exists & allowed me to remember certain details. Now, I have what is considered psychic experiences & I know when someone is lying to me - I love this part. The psychic experiences can be a lot. One of those times I was so broken I was an atheist. Can't anymore.
Uzo was amazing on OITNB and I love her voice. It’s reason enough for me to buy her audiobook! I think she should narrate all of the books. Also love this podcast so much ♥️
Love her! She is a bestfriend to me..she reminded me of my bestfriend, very true and down to earth. You can just be yourself with her. Gob Bless her and the show.🎉❤😊
So I rarely comment on videos but today I'm commenting on two and they have a common theme. Two women testifying to how God moved in their lives. The same unwavering strength and conviction. I just want to say thank you. We're often scoffed at and to see these two women unapologetically give their testimony is a balm to my soul. Also want to say that this also helped heal my heart and gain greater understanding of God's love and grace. I had a hard life and left an abuser 2 1/2 years ago. It took me 3 years of planning at the age of 58 and broken beyond belief. But I put my faith in God and constantly thought of my Grandmother. She left her abuser at the age of 63 and I was 13. She was dying of cancer and she wanted to leave this world in peace. Unfortunately tho, that family trauma of abuse was passed down and it took me to my late 50s to heal and find my own peace. But without her example, knowing she was by my side every step of the way (we had an extemely close relationship bc her daughter/my mother was so abusive to me) and the praying that God would show me the same grace and mercy, I wouldn't have managed those 3 years and survived. Uzo's story about the TV and then dealing with her Mom's cancer... it just slammed into me because one of the verses that was forefront in my mind during the time was Jeremiah 1:5. God showed me what unconditional love and grace is and that His plans for us are beyond our understanding. ETA: Sorry for long post but I just read your pinned comment Mayiam... I have had absolute visceral moments. I will share the top two. I wanted to leave this world and unal1ve myself. I was done with the pain of living. I was in therapy but in that abusive relationship. I literally put a w3apon in my mouth... said the prayer "God please forgive me for what I'm about to do. I ask in Jesus's name Amen" and started to squeeze. My arm was pushed down. Literally and aggressively pushed down. I was alone in the house. A random beam of sunlight squeezed between closed curtains and shone down right on me. After the tears and prayers, I found a way to go on. There was another moment where I felt so unworthy of Jesus' sacrifice and to make a long story short as to what led up to this... ended up feeling a piercing in my heart followed by a piercing in my right side that literally had me on the floor in pain thinking I was having a heart attack. But then God's voice boomed in my head "Do you understand?" I cried out loud YES! and it repeated for a total of 3 times and each time the "do you understand" being more firm and encompassing my entire being until I fully surrendered. I went on to escape that situation as I described above. God is real and He lives. He saved an unworthy wretch like me and changed my world. I have peace today and will forever be grateful that He loves each and every one of us. Thank you Uzo and Mayiam for a wonderful session.
I already believed in a higher power, but one day I felt convinced. There was a healing mass at my church. I normally did not attend these masses. My husband and I were in great debt, and I prayed for the healing of finances. The next day, my boss called me in and said that I had been promoted.
Jonathon.....keep the faith. Sometimes it's just better to go with it. I've had many of such msg.'s, just in the last few years. When you believe it becomes much easier to recognize them.
Have YOU ever experienced something you couldn't explain that made you believe in a higher power? Please share down below!! 🙌

I’ll watch it tonight bc I’m travelling far just now. But I’m sure it will be as amazing episode as usual. Even the title calls out to me!
It sounds so nice to be able to believe in God. I seem to not have that in me.
Faith is completely arbitrary. I have faith in myself and my own beliefs, there's no higher power and I don't understand why so many people need that.
Get a Bible and start by reading the gospel of John. Your questions will be answered by God in his written instruction book to his creation.

So I rarely comment on videos but today I'm commenting on two and they have a common theme. Two women testifying to how God moved in their lives. The same unwavering strength and conviction. I just want to say thank you. We're often scoffed at and to see these two women unapologetically give their testimony is a balm to my soul.
Also want to say that this also helped heal my heart and gain greater understanding of God's love and grace. I had a hard life and left an abuser 2 1/2 years ago. It took me 3 years of planning at the age of 58 and broken beyond belief. But I put my faith in God and constantly thought of my Grandmother. She left her abuser at the age of 63 and I was 13. She was dying of cancer and she wanted to leave this world in peace. Unfortunately tho, that family trauma of abuse was passed down and it took me to my late 50s to heal and find my own peace. But without her example, knowing she was by my side every step of the way (we had an extemely close relationship bc her daughter/my mother was so abusive to me) and the praying that God would show me the same grace and mercy, I wouldn't have managed those 3 years and survived. Uzo's story about the TV and then dealing with her Mom's cancer... it just slammed into me because one of the verses that was forefront in my mind during the time was Jeremiah 1:5. God showed me what unconditional love and grace is and that His plans for us are beyond our understanding.
ETA: Sorry for long post but I just read your pinned comment Mayiam... I have had absolute visceral moments. I will share the top two. I wanted to leave this world and unal1ve myself. I was done with the pain of living. I was in therapy but in that abusive relationship. I literally put a w3apon in my mouth... said the prayer "God please forgive me for what I'm about to do. I ask in Jesus's name Amen" and started to squeeze. My arm was pushed down. Literally and aggressively pushed down. I was alone in the house. A random beam of sunlight squeezed between closed curtains and shone down right on me. After the tears and prayers, I found a way to go on. There was another moment where I felt so unworthy of Jesus' sacrifice and to make a long story short as to what led up to this... ended up feeling a piercing in my heart followed by a piercing in my right side that literally had me on the floor in pain thinking I was having a heart attack. But then God's voice boomed in my head "Do you understand?" I cried out loud YES! and it repeated for a total of 3 times and each time the "do you understand" being more firm and encompassing my entire being until I fully surrendered. I went on to escape that situation as I described above. God is real and He lives. He saved an unworthy wretch like me and changed my world. I have peace today and will forever be grateful that He loves each and every one of us.
Thank you Uzo and Mayiam for a wonderful session.

I already believed in a higher power, but one day I felt convinced. There was a healing mass at my church. I normally did not attend these masses. My husband and I were in great debt, and I prayed for the healing of finances. The next day, my boss called me in and said that I had been promoted.
Jonathon.....keep the faith. Sometimes it's just better to go with it. I've had many of such msg.'s, just in the last few years. When you believe it becomes much easier to recognize them.
God (and any omniscient being) can be disproven with a logical argument. I'll give the whole argument if Dr. Bialik asks.
God is wheat , per Joseph's dream ....Magical because the egyptians were allergic ...
