This week on Here’s What We Know, join us for an unforgettable conversation as we sit down with Mick Wienholt, a man who survived a catastrophic avalanche that should have taken his life. With a fractured skull, a broken jaw, and massive blood loss, Mick walked three miles back to his truck before collapsing into emergency brain surgery.
But that miracle was only the beginning.
Years later, Mick and his wife experienced the devastating stillbirth of their son, Luke, a loss that brought them to their knees and ultimately led them into a life-changing relationship with Christ. What followed was a story of redemption neither of them could have scripted.
This episode explores ego, survival, grief, faith, and the way God can redeem even the darkest chapters of our lives.

Quotations:
”And so what ended up happening was through the grief of Luke’s death, we thought we had a Luke-shaped hole in our hearts. God showed us that we had a God-shaped hole in our hearts. He filled that hole, loved us through all the grief, and changed the trajectory of our lives ever since.” ~ Mick Wienholt
