The Gladiator and the Tears: Undeniable Proof God Sees You

In this episode of Unwritten, Trevor sits down with Chris Bonderer to talk about a powerful image received in prayer that revealed a student's deepest restlessness and gave undeniable proof of God's presence.

Whether you're inspired by radical testimonies of what God is doing, or just curious about the impact of prayer out loud with another person, this conversation will inspire you to see God working in your life too and bring you to greater faith that God listens and responds.

What You’ll Hear:

• Missionary Chris Bonderer details his work at the University of Southern California (USC), specifically his deep friendship with Grant, a senior struggling with deep dissatisfaction despite having been a football player and fraternity member. Grant expressed feeling restless and wondered if 65 years was "too long to live" feeling that way.

• The powerful image Chris received while praying for Grant—picturing him as a gladiator, smiling from cheek to cheek in the Coliseum, but with tears streaming down his face. Chris then asked Grant, "Do you feel like there's anything missing in your life?".

• The stunning insight Grant shared later: The gladiator image perfectly mirrored a moment he experienced before quitting the football team when, despite the electricity of the environment and the crowds going insane, he felt "dead inside" while running out of the tunnel. This experience served as "undeniable" proof that God sees and knows him.
